ADDM

Oracle Database Performance

ADDM

The Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor ( ADDM ) is an advisor which detects problem area' s in the database and and which gives recommendations.




ADDM uses the statistical data from the AWR - Automatic Workload Repository - stored in the sysaux tablespace. By default the statistical data is gathered / written to disk by snapshots every hour and kept in the sysaux tablespace for 7 days,

The ADDM analysis includes:
  • CPU load
  • Memory usage
  • I/O usage
  • Resource intensive SQL
  • Resource intensive PL/SQL and Java
  • RAC issues
  • Application issues
  • Database configuration issues
  • Concurrency issues
  • Object contention

The recommendations may include:
  • Hardware changes
  • Database configuration changes
  • Schema changes
  • Application changes
  • Using other advisors

Hope this help. Regards Rupam
