Interpreting Variables of the Oracle Database MIB

This appendix provides information to help you interpret individual variables in the private Oracle Database MIB. Specifically, it includes sections covering SNMP variables in the following tables:

- oraDbSysTable

- oraDbTablespaceTable

- oraDbDataFileTable

- oraDbLibraryCacheTable

- oraDbLibraryCacheSumTable

- oraDbSGATable

- oraDbConfigTable

- oraRepTable

- oraRepSchemaTable

- oraRepMasterSchema Table

- oraRepSnapshotSchemaTable

- oraRepLinkTable

For information about the database instance performance ratios listed in this appendix, see the section, "Most Useful Database Instance Performance Ratios," in Chapter 3, "Designing Management Applications Based on Oracle MIBs." For more information about the Oracle database server and specific topics covered in this appendix, see the ORACLE Server Reference, the Oracle Server Application Developer's Guide, and the Oracle Server Concepts Manual specific to your system.

## oraDbSysTable

The oraDbSysTable contains various measurements used to support database activities of current sessions on the managed node. This information has been found to be particularly useful for monitoring global database instance performance.

Each entry in the oraDbSysTable represents a current database instance on the node. Each entry is indexed by rdbmsDb Index. However, because rdbmsDbTable contains an entry for each database configured for SNMP support, whether or not it is actively open, there may or may not be a one-to-one correspondence between entries in the two tables at any point in time. (For details about this index, see Appendix D, "Interpreting Variables of the Public RDBMS MIB.") The value of each oraDbSysTable variable is retrieved directly from a corresponding field in the V$SYSSTAT table for that database instance on the managed node.

In many cases, a variable is meaningful only when considered in conjunction with other variables, often as a ratio. For more information on the ratios mentioned in the following variable descriptions, and for their significance in tuning the Oracle database server, see the Oracle Tuning Guide specific to your system.

### oraDbSysConsistentChanges

Syntax

Counter32

Max-Access

read-only

Explanation

This variable is retrieved directly from the value for CONSISTENT CHANGES in V$SYSSTAT. It is incremented each time that a consistent get operation cannot accept the block in its current state, owing to a change made since the query consistency point.

oraDbSysConsistentChanges is used to calculate the following database instance performance ratio: the consistent change ratio.

Typical Range

two or more orders of magnitude less than the value of oraDbSysConsistentGets

Significance

counter

### oraDbSysConsistentGets

Syntax

Counter32

Max-Access

read-only

Explanation

This variable is retrieved directly from the value for CONSISTENT GETS in V$SYSSTAT. This value is incremented each time that the Oracle Buffer Manager is requested to locate a database block as part of a read consistent operation (a query). Only if the requested block is not found in Oracle's Buffer Cache will consistent get result in physical I/O.

oraDbSysConsistentGets is used to calculate the following database instance performance ratios: block get rate, block visits per transaction, cache hit ratio, changed block ratio, and the consistent change ratio.

Typical Range

0 - 4294967295; can increment at several thousand per second in the largest systems, so this variable is definitely a "wraparound" candidate

### oraDbSysDbBlockChanges

Syntax

Counter32

Max-Access

read-only

Explanation

This variable is retrieved directly from the value for DB BLOCK CHANGES in V$SYSSTAT. It is incremented each time that a database block is in memory to create a "dirty block." This statistic is a rough indication of total database work.

oraDbSysDbBlockChanges is used to calculate the following database instance performance ratios: block changes per transaction, and the changed block ratio.

Typical Range

0 - 4294967295; can increment at several thousand per second in the largest systems, so this variable is definitely a "wraparound" candidate; value tends to be lower than that for oraDbSysConsistentGets

Significance

one of the lesser measures of work rate or throughput

Related Variables

Suggested Presentation

counter

### oraDbSysDbBlockGets

Syntax

Counter32

Max-Access

read-only

Explanation

This variable is retrieved directly from the value for DB BLOCK GETS in V$SYSSTAT. It is incremented each time the buffer manager is asked for a database block in current mode, that is, regardless of read consistency. This mode is used to locate blocks which are to be updated, and also to access control information such as segment headers. Only if the requested block is not found in Oracle's Buffer cache will a db block get result in physical I/O.

oraDbSysBlockGets is used to calculate the following database instance performance ratios: block get rate, block visits per transaction, the cache hit ratio, and the changed block ratio.

Typical Range

0 - 4294967295; can increment at several thousand per second in the largest systems, so this variable is definitely a "wraparound" candidate.

### oraDbSysFreeBufferInspected

Syntax

Counter32

Max-Access

read-only

Explanation

The "free buffer inspected" parameter from V$SYSTAT.

Typical Range

0 - 4294967295

Significance

This indicates the number of reusable buffers skipped over from the end of the Least Recently Used (LRU) queue in order to find a buffer. The difference between this and "dirty buffers inspected" equals the number of buffers that could not be used beause they were busy or needed to be written after rapid aging out. They may have a user, a waiter, or be being read or written.

Related Variables

oraDbSysFreeBufferRequested

### oraDbSysFreeBufferRequested

Syntax

Counter32

Max-Access

read-only

Explanation

The "free buffer requested" parameter from V$SYSTAT.

Typical Range

### oraDbSysParseCount

Syntax

Counter32

Max-Access

read-only

Explanation

This variable is retrieved directly from the value for PARSE COUNT(total) in V$SYSSTAT. It counts the number of parse calls received by the RDBMS from both connected applications and recursive calls. In Oracle7 and Oracle8, parse calls are frequently satisfied by reference to the Shared SQL area and this statistic does not measure the number of parses which have taken place, only the number of calls.

oraDbSysParseCount is used to calculate the following database instance performance ratio: user calls per parse.

Typical Range

0 - 4294967295; unlikely to increment at a rate greater than a few hundred per second

Significance

### oraDbSysPhysReads

Syntax

Counter32

Max-Access

read-only

Explanation

This variable is retrieved directly from the value for PHYSICAL READS in V$SYSSTAT. It increments each time a DB Block is retrieved from the disk subsystem, but is not necessarily equal to the number of I/O requests made to the host operating system, as multiblock I/O may be used. A physical read can be viewed as an SGA Buffer Cache miss, hampering throughput (contention induction) and CPU (code pathlength) processing.

oraDbSysPhysReads is used to calculate the following database instance performance ratio: the cache hit ratio.

Typical Range

0 - 4294967295; unlikely to increment at a rate greater than a few hundred per second

## oraDbTablespaceTable

The oraDbTablespaceTable contains information on tablespaces within a current Oracle database instance. A tablespace is a logical portion of an Oracle database used to allocate storage for table and index data. In a production environment, tables can fill up as transaction activity mounts. Monitoring tablespace activity is important to avoid exhausting the tablespaces and causing spaces.

Each entry in the oraDbTablespaceTable represents a given tablespace within a current database instance. Each entry is indexed first by rdbmsDbIndex, and then oraDbTablespaceIndex; thus, there will normally be a one-to-many relationship between an rdbmsDbTable entry and corresponding oraDbTablespaceTable entries. (For details about rdbmsDbIndex, see Appendix D, "Interpreting Variables of the Public RDBMS MIB.") The current value of each oraDbTablespaceTable variable is retrieved directly from a join of DBA_TABLESPACES, DBA_DATA_FILES, and DBA_FREE_SPACE selecting for the tablespace in question.

Table A-2 lists each of these variables and its corresponding object.

Explanation

A numeric index, unique among tablespaces within a single Oracle database instance. This index is assigned to these tablespaces based on the alphabetical order of their names. On most platforms, a hard file limit of 1023 database files exists, so this number is the practical upper limit. Although some administrators prefer a one-to-one relationship between tablespaces and database files, multiple files can comprise a tablespace.

## oraDbDataFileTable

oraDbDataFileTable contains information on the data files within a current database instance on the managed node. A data file denotes an area of disk allocated for database data. Monitoring data files is important for two reasons; first, to determine whether space in files is being exhausted, and second to determine O/S response time in accessing data on disk, especially on platforms where there is no other way to measure disk queue length.

Each entry in the oraDbDataFileTable represents a given data file within a current database instance on the node. Each entry is indexed first by rdbmsDbIndex, and then by oraDbDataFileIndex; thus, there will normally be a one-to-many relationship between an rdbmsDbTable entry and corresponding oraDbDataFileTable entries. (For details about rdbmsDbIndex, see Appendix E, "Interpreting Variables of the Public RDBMS MIB.") The current value of each oraDbDataFileTable variable is retrieved directly from a corresponding field in either V$FILESTAT or DBA_DATA_FILES for that data file within that database instance.

Monitoring this variable is very important, because running out of space can require taking the database down, depending on which table this file supports. Normally, however, adding another data file to the Tablespace solves the problem.

## oraDbLibraryCacheTable

The oraDbLibraryCacheTable contains variables measuring library cache activity since the most recent database instance startup. A library cache is a memory structure containing shared SQL and PL/SQL areas. Monitoring the library cache is important to determine whether it is necessary to resize Oracle's shared pool.

Each entry in the oraDbLibraryCacheTable represents a given library cache within a current database instance on the node. Each entry is indexed first by rdbmsDbIndex, and then by oraDbLibraryCacheIndex; thus, there will normally be a one-to-many relationship between an rdbmsDbTable entry and corresponding oraDbLibraryCacheTable entries. (For details about rdbmsDbIndex, see Appendix E, "Interpreting Variables of the Public RDBMS MIB.") The current value of each oraDbLibraryCacheTable variable is retrieved directly from a corresponding field in the V$LIBRARYCACHE table for that library cache within that database instance.

Table A-4 lists each variable of the oraDbLibraryCacheTable and its corresponding object ID.

## oraDbSGATable

The oraDbSGATable contains storage allocation information on the current System Global Area (SGA). The SGA is a common database storage area for information that supports current sessions. As the values of its attributes are configured in the INIT.ORA file, they do not change while the database instance is running, thus, the SGA at this aggregate level is not as important to monitor as other database structures.

Each entry in the oraDbSGATable represents the SGA for a current database instance on the node. Each entry is indexed by rdbmsDbIndex. However, because rdbmsDbTable contains an entry for each installed database configured for SNMP support, whether or not it is actively open, there may or may not be a one-to-one correspondence between entries in the two tables at any point in time. (For details about rdbmsDbIndex, see Appendix D, "Interpreting Variables of the Public RDBMS MIB.") The current value of each oraDbSGATable variable is retrieved directly from a corresponding field in the V$SGA table for that database instance.

Table A-6 lists each variable of the oraDbSGATable and its corresponding object ID.

## oraDbConfigTable

The oraDbConfigTable contains variables whose values are retrieved directly from the V$PARAMETER table. These parameters control systemwide resources and can impact the values of variables in the rest of this MIB. This table includes those initialization parameters that closely relate to the task of monitoring database instance performance. By assigning these parameters easy-to-use, fixed object IDs, it is easier to graph them together with the dynamic performance values they impact. For more information on these parameters, see the ORACLE Server Reference, and also the ORACLE Server Concepts Manual specific to your system.

Each entry in the oraDbConfigTable is indexed by rdbmsDbIndex. However, because rdbmsDbTable contains an entry for each installed database, whether or not it is actively open, there may or may not be a one-to-one correspondence between entries in the two tables at any point in time. (For details about rdbmsDbIndex, see Appendix D, "Interpreting Variables of the Public RDBMS MIB.")

## oraRepMasterSchema Table

The oraRepMasterSchema Table contains specific information for replicated schemas at the current master or master definition site. There exists one instance of this table for each replicated schema at the current site. These values are retrieved from the replication catalog.

The values in this table are useful for displaying a visual representation of multi-master configurations. Master and master definition sites are not required to have database links to their snapshot sites. Snapshot schemas are currently not registered in the replication catalog at their associated master site. Given an oraRepMasterSchema Table in an arbitrary replication environment, it is not be possible to locate all snapshot sites based solely on the information in this table.

Information is also provided for the detection of replication administration request errors and a relative count of the number of conflicts encountered at the current site. The table provides a count of the number of resolved conflicts. Not all conflicts may be resolved (the DBA did not declare the appropriate conflict resolution method(s) or a conflict was unable to be resolved due to other problems.
