I subscribed to it sometime before Christmas, but when I went to use it a

So what was the deal with oraperf.veritas.com if you don't mind my asking?
I subscribed to it sometime before Christmas, but when I went to use it a

Re: What to look for in STATSPACK report

2004-01-26 Thread Jared . Still

If you're new to perl, setting this up might be somewhat difficult.

It requires installing DBD::Chart, which in turn requires some graphics
libraries to be installed, among them ImageMagic if I recall correctly.

Installing ImageMagic can be rather difficult depending on platform.

On Linux it is possible to just install the binaries, other platforms 
may present problems.

ps, your graph is very impressive. I still have trouble to make the

made a little progress. But I am still struggling to make it work.

  You will find a utility add on for statspack at Mogens company site,

  You can use YAPPPACK ( notice the 3 P's, it is not a typo ) to
 generate
  response time graphs for your databases.
 
  There are many different numbers to look at in a statspack report,
 but
  for day to day monitoring, I find them fairly useless. I mean
 really,
  who's gonna read all that stuff?
 
  Or spend the rest of his life writing a genetic heuristic
  artificially intelligent algorithm that is smart enough to determine
  that something is out of bounds for a particular database?
 
  Use YAPPPACK to track response times. When response times spike
  abnormally, then dig into the statspack data.

You can remove the order by if you are not using RAC. Basically it is
to avoid two identical SQLs inserted at the SAME time in RAC setup.

If you are using  RAC just add another column in the order by
condition.  (st1.hash_value,ss.text_subset,st1.piece)

correctly, Anjo said he had leased it to Veritas for a couple of
years, while retaining permanent ownership.

On the other hand, he's on this list, he can confirm or deny that
himself!

I've tried to get ahold of Anjo off-list several times.  I'm sure he is

Thanks! I'd like to try perl, but I have to admit I am totally naive on
this subject. I am thinking to take a course. (free for me) How much
efforts in order to set this up?

ps, your graph is very impressive. I still have trouble to make the

made a little progress. But I am still struggling to make it work.

exel, all the columns from the csv went into one excel column and for some
reason it wasn't apparentor something like that.  .now if I could
only remember what it was I did to fix it. hmmm.

..i think it was some searching and replacing or something.

..that should get you started though.

Jared,

I played YAPPPACK quite often some time ago. I like it very much. But
somehow I failed to generate the gif file from the csv file as sample
shown. Can someone shade me some light on this? I tied very hard to make
the graphs from the csv file but just don't know how.

Thanks,

Joan

If you're willing to go to the trouble of setting up Perl, DBI, DBD::Oracle, DBD::Chart
and its dependent libs ( graphics ), I'll send the Perl/Shell stuff I use to generate charts.

It includes some modifications to YAPPPACK.

That sound OK Mogens?

Re: What to look for in STATSPACK report

2004-01-19 Thread chris
Helmet,

Mogens makes a lot of good points as normal. As usual it's never as simple as 
we'd like it too be and it depends on how your system runs. One thing that is 
worth monitoring is changes in statistic values over time.

For example if your buffer cache hit ratio is normally 85% during your peak on-
line usage but then on it changes to 75% this indicates that something 
significant has changed and probably needs investigating. It doesn't 
necessarily mean you have a performance problem because if the users are happy 
that performance is good and batch is performing as expected then all's OK.
(BTW I'm aware that buffer cache hit ratio statistics in isolation aren't a 
good indicator of performance good or bad.)

 Hi Helmut,
 
 There are so many opinions about this that it's hard to point at one 
 specific document or recommendation. If anything, start with stuff 
 written by Graham Wood (who has done a good deal of the work on it), 
 Bjorn Engsig (ditto), or such guys. Also, Tom Kyte has something about 
 it in his new book, so go look on asktom.oracle.com for his opinions 
 about it.
 
 If you hope to find threshold numbers for certain values, etc then 
 someone would have automated it a lng time ago. There can be two 
 reasons for this not having happened: It depends on the installation,

 smarter people disagree with me.

RE: What to look for in STATSPACK report

2004-01-19 Thread Stephane Faroult
Helmut,

   Performance, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Ideal thresholds only 
exist in poor tuning courses and poor tuning books. IMHO, the wisest thing to do would 
be to collect information at a time when performance is perfectly satisfactory and use 
it as a baseline. Then check when there is some _significant_ difference with your 
baseline. If nobody complains, it means that you can probably allow pretty wide 
variations for some values. However, if users do really notice (and it's not purely 
psycho-somatic, as it sometimes is) some degradation, it will be time to enquire.
But bear in mind that the most significant indicators will not necessarily be the same 
ones for all applications, nor even for all times of day.
Also, be careful to collect some information about the actual, business-related work 
being done. I have seen people complaining that they didn't have the same performance 
as 6 months earlier and forgetting that they were processing twice as many invoices or 
whatever. Granted, a well-written application should scale. But at least it helps you 
explain even the most Oracle-challenged manager that it isn't a simple tuning matter 
(it will be harder to explain that it isn't a question of throwing more hardware to 
the problem either, but this is another story).

HTH

Re: What to look for in STATSPACK report

2004-01-19 Thread Jared Still
You will find a utility add on for statspack at Mogens company site,
www.miracleas.dk.  It is called YAPPPACK.

You can use YAPPPACK ( notice the 3 P's, it is not a typo ) to generate
response time graphs for your databases.  

There are many different numbers to look at in a statspack report, but
for day to day monitoring, I find them fairly useless.  I mean really,
who's gonna read all that stuff?

Or spend the rest of his life writing a genetic heuristic
artificially intelligent algorithm that is smart enough to determine
that something is out of bounds for a particular database?

Use YAPPPACK to track response times.  When response times spike 
abnormally, then dig into the statspack data.

JMO,

Jared

Re: What to look for in STATSPACK report

2004-01-19 Thread Tim Gorman
Helmut,

Register with http://www.oraperf.com; and run those STATSPACK reports
through the YAPP analyzer, which will reformat them in such a way that they
make sense.

All of the ratio stuff on the STATSPACK report is ignored by the YAPP
analyzer, and instead the reformatting looks at things from the standpoint
of response-time analysis, as described in the white papers at
http://www.oraperf.com/whitepapers.html;.

Yes, I know OraPerf is now owned by Veritas and the real URLs are different,
but it'll always be just good old oraperf.com hopefully, no matter who
Anjo works for...  :-)

Hope this helps...

Don't run it for an hour. One would expect the accumulated wait times to be

Re: Statspack wierd Output

2004-01-06 Thread Pete Finnigan
Hi Vivek,

I am not a statspack expert but your problem is simply an SQL issue. The
### means that the field format is not big enough for the value being
returned in the SQL. Simply open the SQL file and find the SQL that
prints this and look for the column format somewhere above that. Change
the format so it is wider. The other options is to run the report so
that it generates smaller values - shorter time period?

hth

kind regards

Pete

Your Parse time is high, and cpu is
close to elapsed, so you are almost
certainly hard-parsing all the time.

This is either a bug, or you have enough
parse activity going on, and a small enough
shared pool that you keep invalidating the
cursor (and it's dependents).

Did you report the Invalidations column 
in your original post.

 Of course you are right :-)
 
 Playing with this a little longer, I can get up to 4
 versions (child_number from 0 to 3) of the same pl/sql

 being sharable when bv size changes from 32 to 33,

 1-32
 33-128

 I wonder if this behavior can be changed by some init

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE generate_product_keys

What is taking place inside GENERATE_PRODUCT_KEYS() ?

Could be dynamic SQL of the worst kind in there.  That
is, not using bind variables.

A 10046 trace level 4 or 12 will show you what is
going on there.

RE: STATSPACK interpretation

2003-12-23 Thread Jared Still
Thomas,

The version count is the number of child cursors
present in the cache for this SQL.  The cursor is
not being shared for some reason with 456 versions.

The 400m of memory seems a bit excessive.

There is a script at Jonathan's site with some info
about v$sqlarea and a script you can run that looks
at the current memory requirements for a SQL statement.

http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/sqlarea.html

Does the output match what you see in statspack?

Also, the number of executions is much lower than
the version count, which is rather odd.  There's a bug
in early 9i versions that would cause this, but was
supposed to be corrected by 9.2.0.2.

In experimenting with this, I managed to get 4 different 
sessions to create 2 versions of a cursor.  I'm not sure 
why as it was pl/sql and variables were used for the calling
parameters.

A 'select * from v$sql_shared_cursor' did not reveal any
reason for it.  

After bouncing the database and trying this again, I couldn't
duplicate it. 

Maybe a couple of things to pursue here, but perhaps not
an abundance of help. :(

 What is taking place inside GENERATE_PRODUCT_KEYS() ?
 
 Could be dynamic SQL of the worst kind in there.  That
 is, not using bind variables.
 
 A 10046 trace level 4 or 12 will show you what is
 going on there.

Re: STATSPACK interpretation

2003-12-23 Thread Jonathan Lewis

I recall James Morle saying something about
code not being sharable if the declared sizes 
of the bind variables don't match.  If Informatica
is using a 3GL to call anonymous pl/sql blocks
with different bind variables every time, perhaps
it is causing a bind variable mismatch.

As for the 400MB - I've often noticed oddities where
a new entry is created, but carries forward a report 
of the memory requirements of earlier variants, so if you
have 10 cursors, they don't report 10 units of memory, but
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 units. It is 
possible that you are seeing some effect like this.

Re: STATSPACK interpretation

2003-12-23 Thread Jared Still
Thanks Jonathan.

I was wondering about those memory columns possibly
acting in that manner.  I've never used them to 
track memory though, and wasn't sure how they might
act.  Google and MetaLink didn't turn up anything
too useful in the regard.

Now that you mention it, I recall reading recently
somewhere that different size bind variables could
cause multiple versions.  Probably James, but I can't
recall where I saw it.

Google, Metalinkm mailing lists and a plethora of books
and white papers have made it quite difficult, at least for
me, to always remember the source of tidbits such as this.

Back to the memory, I was somehow able to cause 2
version of the same SQL, as mentioned earlier, but
the reason for it did not appear in v$sql_shared_cursor.

Using 
dbms_application_info package also causes that there are several versions of

this is the case by queryingv$sqlarea (module and action

 Jonathan,

 Wouldn't bind variable issue that prevents cursor from
 sharing be visible in bind_mismatch?

I would certainly hope so - but I remember playing
around with v$sql_shared_cursor when it first came
out and find cases where un-shared cursors came up
with a full set of N's in the view.

 How can one simulate this?

 var v varchar2(1)
 begin select count(5) into :v from dual; end;
 /
 select address, sql_text from v$sql where sql_text
 like '%count(5)%';

 ADDRESS  SQL_TEXT

 6DE92A74 SELECT count(5) from dual
 6DE960D0 begin select count(5) into :v from dual; end;

 -- Change a bind variable size:

 /
 -- same output, no change, both sql and pl/sql wrapper
 cursors are still shared


Nicely done. I think I'd run event 10046

Thanks Jonathan.

I was wondering about those memory columns possibly
acting in that manner.  I've never used them to 
track memory though, and wasn't sure how they might
act.  Google and MetaLink didn't turn up anything
too useful in the regard.

Now that you mention it, I recall reading recently
somewhere that different size bind variables could
cause multiple versions.  Probably James, but I can't
recall where I saw it.

Google, Metalinkm mailing lists and a plethora of books
and white papers have made it quite difficult, at least for
me, to always remember the source of tidbits such as this.

Back to the memory, I was somehow able to cause 2
version of the same SQL, as mentioned earlier, but
the reason for it did not appear in v$sql_shared_cursor.

 is using a 3GL to call anonymous pl/sql blocks

 it is causing a bind variable mismatch.
 
 As for the 400MB - I've often noticed oddities where
 a new entry is created, but carries forward a report
 of the memory requirements of earlier variants, so if you
 have 10 cursors, they don't report 10 units of memory, but
 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 units. It is 
 possible that you are seeing some effect like this.

  Thomas,
  
  The version count is the number of child cursors
  present in the cache for this SQL.  The cursor is
  not being shared for some reason with 456 versions.
  
  The 400m of memory seems a bit excessive.
  
  There is a script at Jonathan's site with some info
  about v$sqlarea and a script you can run that looks
  at the current memory requirements for a SQL statement.
  
  http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/sqlarea.html
  
  Does the output match what you see in statspack?
  
  Also, the number of executions is much lower than
  the version count, which is rather odd.  There's a bug
  in early 9i versions that would cause this, but was supposed to be 
  corrected by 9.2.0.2.
  
  In experimenting with this, I managed to get 4 different
  sessions to create 2 versions of a cursor.  I'm not sure 
  why as it was pl/sql and variables were used for the calling
  parameters.
  
  A 'select * from v$sql_shared_cursor' did not reveal any reason for 
  it.
  
  After bouncing the database and trying this again, I couldn't 
  duplicate it.
  
  Maybe a couple of things to pursue here, but perhaps not
  an abundance of help. :(

Thanks, Jonathan.
Of course you are right :-)

Playing with this a little longer, I can get up to 4
versions (child_number from 0 to 3) of the same pl/sql
cursor by changing bind variable sizes. It ceases
being sharable when bv size changes from 32 to 33,
from 128 to 129 and from 2000 to 2001:

1-32
33-128
129-2000
2001-4000

I wonder if this behavior can be changed by some init
settings?

Thanks,
Boris Dali.

  Jonathan,
 
  Wouldn't bind variable issue that prevents cursor
 from
  sharing be visible in bind_mismatch?
 
 I would certainly hope so - but I remember playing
 around with v$sql_shared_cursor when it first came
 out and find cases where un-shared cursors came up
 with a full set of N's in the view.
 
  How can one simulate this?
 
  var v varchar2(1)
  begin select count(5) into :v from dual; end;
  /
  select address, sql_text from v$sql where sql_text
  like '%count(5)%';

  var v varchar2(30)
  begin select count(5) into :v from dual; end;
  /
  -- same output, no change, both sql and pl/sql

 Nicely done. I think I'd run event 10046

 was ignoring the MAXLEN value for your

STATSPACK interpretation

2003-12-22 Thread Thomas Jeff
Title: STATSPACK interpretation 






We recently experienced a crash on our prod datewarehouse running 9.2.0.2 on

AIX 4.3.3. The cause of the crash was 4031 errors generated by background

processes (Oracle support has confirmed there is a bug involved), however,

since that crash occurred, a certain nightly batch job has slowed to a crawl. 


Trying to recreate what has happened, I came across this in the STATSPACK report. 

The interval for this report is 30 minutes. 


Is it telling me that I have 746 versions of this call eating up 400+ mb at

the time of the snapshot? Why would that be? The procedure in question 

uses bind variables.

What is taking place inside GENERATE_PRODUCT_KEYS() ?

Could be dynamic SQL of the worst kind in there.  That
is, not using bind variables.

A 10046 trace level 4 or 12 will show you what is
going on there.

RE: SQL_Trace versus Statspack

2003-11-19 Thread Reardon, Bruce (CALBBAY)
Vivek did mention single DB connect process, so this should increase the possibility 
of statspack matching the trace file

Did you have parallel query occurring - as then the single trace wouldn't have caught 
everything.
Are you SURE no other users were active at the same time - eg look at logons 
cumulative in v$sysstat

Were the trace and snapshot for the EXACT same time interval?

Re: Trace versus Statspack data

2003-11-17 Thread Rhojel_Echano

Hi.

Execute in sqltrace is for that particular session only whereas in statspack, it's system wide.
A lot of sessions might have executed the same query.

Best regards

Re: Statspack Report!

2003-09-30 Thread Tim Gorman
Title: Re: Statspack Report!



Without looking at other parts of the report, there is no way of telling if this information is important or not. There is not enough timing information displayed to understand whether these issues are a significant part of your databases performance or not.

Please upload your report to http://www.oraperf.com to get a much better organized analysis of the STATSPACK info. Youll need to register but it is worth it, although Veritas has unfortunately become much more aggressive about spam than Precise ever was. For instructions on how to read the results of the YAPP report, please read Bjorns paper on using STATSPACK with YAPP at http://oraperf.veritas.com/whitepapers.html...

 don't
 think those scripts are available there (sorry, busy day, no time to

 from the associated tables just fine. First I select the snap_id and
 snap_time from stats$snapshot to determine which snapshots to remove. It
 runs slowly (because of all the child tables?), so I just remove a
 hundred

Um, if I understand correctly, you're just trying to
keep the volume down in your statspack tables.

I use Tim Gorman's sppurpkg.sql package (on several
different versions across several different operating
systems).  (www.evdbt.com)

I have it set up to keep 14 days of data, but you can
change that.  It schedules the dbms_job for you.  I
just set up his job when I configure statspack on a
new database, and then I never need to think about it
again.

You might take a look and see if it'll work for you.

RE: Deleting Statspack tables.

2003-06-11 Thread Barbara Baker
I'm having difficulty following all of the referential
integrity on perfstat tables, but there are several
on delete cascade constraints on the tables.   It
looks to me like all of my perfstat tables are being
cleaned up.

I've been accumulating data on 1 database for more
than 1 year every hour at level 5, and my largest
table is 10 megs.

It's very odd that your STATS$LATCH_CHILDREN table is
nearly 3 gigs.  I have to wonder if something else is
wrong.  You might check your perfstat user to insure
that the user has adequate privs; you might even
consider removing and re-installing statspack.

Good luck!

hassome good information.. Look in your

  Search MetaLink ... Burleson has a good book "High

  in Chapter 10 also hassome good information.. Look 
  in your $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin and depending on you version their is a

Deleting Statspack tables.

I know there are some versions that the sppurge doesn't remove rows from
the children tables.  I haven't noticed this since I got to 8.1.7.3 on
Tru64.  You can write a script to delete from the other tables where
they don't have a record in the parent table and run it the same time as
SPURGE.

Reddy - You didn't mention your Oracle version. I am on 8.1.6 and I don't
think those scripts are available there (sorry, busy day, no time to
research). So I just delete from stats$snapshot. It seems to remove data
from the associated tables just fine. First I select the snap_id and
snap_time from stats$snapshot to determine which snapshots to remove. It
runs slowly (because of all the child tables?), so I just remove a hundred

Re: Deleting Statspack tables.

2003-06-10 Thread Barbara Baker
Um, if I understand correctly, you're just trying to
keep the volume down in your statspack tables.

I use Tim Gorman's sppurpkg.sql package (on several
different versions across several different operating
systems).  (www.evdbt.com)

I have it set up to keep 14 days of data, but you can
change that.  It schedules the dbms_job for you.  I
just set up his job when I configure statspack on a
new database, and then I never need to think about it
again.

You might take a look and see if it'll work for you.

RE: statspack snapshots cause 3-4 sec of 100% CPU utilization

2003-06-09 Thread Boris Dali
Nice one, John!
And quite portable. Runs on Solaris and Linux alike.
On HP-UX 11.0 I had to modify it slightly, but it
looks good too:

if [ $# -eq 1 ] ;then
  UNIX95= ps -eo pid,pcpu,ruser,time,etime,args | grep
$1 | sort -nr +1 | awk '{if (NR = 20) print
substr($0,1,80)}'
else
  same as above wo/ grep
fi


I usually used BSD stile of ps on Linux. Something
like:
 ps aufx | egrep '(USER|oracle)'
with exporting COLUMNS=200 prior to running this and
stiking the puppy into an alias. But sorting by %CPU
looks cool. (Solaris doesn't seem to understand the f
flag and it should be /usr/ucb/ps, not default
/usr/bin/ps)


Ok, back to the original issue :-)
Since snapshot causes 100% CPU util only for some 3
sec it was quite a challenge to catch it. The best I
got so far is 72% for the shadow process taking the
snapshot (after some 20 tries). I should probably put
it in an infinite loop and spool (or tee) it to a
file. Might as well try to catch /proc/pid/status (as
I don't have the luxury of pmap here on Linux) for
some memory stuff.

One thing, John. Since it doesn't split CPU
utilization into user and kernel buckets - how does
this help me? Wouldn't it be nice to get output
similar to ptime [or at least time(x)] in ps output?

I am thinking of taking Dennis's advice and see what
happens with level=0 or simply start commenting out
code in the package and see when high CPU utilization
drops (and I was hopping to go with level=7 to get
some segement stats - he-he)

Thanks, John.

Cheers,
Boris Dali.

Re: statspack snapshots cause 3-4 sec of 100% CPU utilization

2003-06-09 Thread Boris Dali
Mogens, Dennis,

I know I am going to catch flames for this, but here
goes:

It seems to be quite fashionable to bash statspack,
but help me out in understanding the alternatives to
the StatsPack in the following cases:

Case1:
-
At the client I am currently with, they have some 50+
applications. Performance is generally not an issue.
Can things be optimized? Oh yeah. No doubt about it.
Users don't complain though and 3-person DBA team
focuses on operational/prod. support stuff.

3 weeks ago applcation support person took one of the
applications offline and submitted a job to rebuild
the indexes (this functionality is built into the
app). DBA team wasn't obviously consulted as to
whether or not it's of any benefit. In fact DBA team
wasn't even aware that there's a maintenance activity
going on :-(

Job dutifully dropped the indexes (as it doesn't seem
to be aware of rebuilding, not to mention rebuilding
online etc), but got stuck somewhere on re-creating
them... so next morning app support person realized
that there's a problem and recalled that there is a
DBA team that probably messed up his DB (from his
response to the ticket).

For DBA it didn't take long to see that what used to
be a quick index lookup returning a single row, turned
out to be a FTS on a 3mln row table as index wasn't
re-created there. But...
If OS and StatsPack monitoring was in place DBA would
know that long before app support person showed up as
iostat -nmxzP on Solaris (or even iostat -d -x on
Linux) with StatsPack data (or something as simple as
query comparing current v$filestat with baseline one)
would be self evident that things changed.

Utility to check execution plans against the baseline
ones would be probably useful in this case, but I
haven't heard about it before this thread :-)

Case2:
--
Application benchmarking.
Last summer while with another client, DBA team was
asked to monitor the newly purchased system in stress
testing/sizing exercise. While not explicitely stated
two additional objectves were to verify the
scalability of the app with respect to the number of
concurrent users as well as the data volumes.
Mercury tools were used in colloboration with the
StatsPack on the back-end. We couldn't get more than
some 120 concurrent users and StatsPack clearly
indicated the load profile w/ ~500,000 LIOs/sec, only
~50 KB/sec redo generation, 300:1 read:write ratio,
with latch free being by far the most prominent wait
event.
This case is probably an extreme, but when the support
engineers of the product received our
Mercury/StatsPack report there was no doubt that SQL
needs to be revisited


The point I am trying to make is that I think there's
monitoring for the sake of tuning (and than I agree -
system wide data shouldn't probably drive the tuning
effort). But there's also other types of monitoring
where StatsPack seems to be quite useful to me. It all
depends on the objectives.

Cheers,
Boris Dali.

 --- Mogens_Nørgaard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 
Couldn't agree more. We need to stop using StatsPack
 for gathering lots

 When two experts can 
 look at the same summary data and get to different

 not gathering data at the correct level. It's sort
 of like the 
 economists that will study the reams of data about
 GDP, GDI, money 
 supply 1 thru 6, and what have you - and arrive at
 complete opposite 
 conclusions. Same with bstat/estat, StatsPack, our
 own MirMon, etc.

Re: statspack snapshots cause 3-4 sec of 100% CPU utilization

Good points, Boris. Thanks for that. 

If all users are doing the same things, then I guess system-wide data could
indicate what's wrong for the average user. You can also use system-wide
data to see if something changes overall on the system, then try to dig deeper
- but only if you are very experienced and have stared at 100's of Statspack
collection outputs and your system is behaving in some constant, predictable
manner.

Can things be optimized? Oh yeah. No doubt about it.
Users don't complain though and 3-person DBA team
focuses on operational/prod. support stuff.

3 weeks ago applcation support person took one of the

the indexes (this functionality is built into the
app). DBA team wasn't obviously consulted as to
whether or not it's of any benefit. In fact DBA team
wasn't even aware that there's a maintenance activity
going on :-(

Job dutifully dropped the indexes (as it doesn't seem
to be aware of rebuilding, not to mention rebuilding
online etc), but got stuck somewhere on re-creating
them... so next morning app support person realized
that there's a problem and recalled that there is a
DBA team "that probably messed up his DB" (from his
response to the ticket).

For DBA it didn't take long to see that what used to
be a quick index lookup returning a single row, turned
out to be a FTS on a 3mln row table as index wasn't
re-created there. But...
If OS and StatsPack monitoring was in place DBA would
know that long before app support person showed up as
iostat -nmxzP on Solaris (or even iostat -d -x on
Linux) with StatsPack data (or something as simple as
query comparing current v$filestat with baseline one)
would be self evident that things changed.

Utility to check execution plans against the baseline
ones would be probably useful in this case, but I
haven't heard about it before this thread :-)

Case2:
--
Application benchmarking.
Last summer while with another client, DBA team was
asked to monitor the newly purchased system in stress
testing/sizing exercise. While not explicitely stated
two additional objectves were to verify the
scalability of the app with respect to the number of
concurrent users as well as the data volumes.
Mercury tools were used in colloboration with the
StatsPack on the back-end. We couldn't get more than
some 120 concurrent users and StatsPack clearly
indicated the load profile w/ ~500,000 LIOs/sec, only
~50 KB/sec redo generation, 300:1 read:write ratio,
with latch free being by far the most prominent wait
event.
This case is probably an extreme, but when the support
engineers of the product received our
Mercury/StatsPack report there was no doubt that "SQL
needs to be revisited"


The point I am trying to make is that I think there's
monitoring for the sake of tuning (and than I agree -
system wide data shouldn't probably drive the tuning
effort). But there's also other types of monitoring
where StatsPack seems to be quite useful to me. It all
depends on the objectives.

Re: statspack snapshots cause 3-4 sec of 100% CPU utilization

2003-06-09 Thread Anjo Kolk

What you need is detailed information over time. Start with SQL
statements, into sessions, into the instance level. The problem is that
this means that tons of data will be collected. So one has to be clever
and reduce the amount of data collected. If you have data over time
(SQL, session, instance), one can do some base lining and exceptions can
be alerted on. If during monitoring a problem is detected one should
have enough data to go back and analyze the problem without having to
run the problem program again. And all of this has to be done with very
little overhead. Performance problems can be repeatable or not
repeatable (or at least difficult to predict when they will happen), you
need to be able to fix both. SQL and Session data is probably the most
valuable performance data, but collecting them can be expensive (more
expensive in the case that you don't know when the performance problem
will happen).

How ever these problem(s) have been fixed and addressed by companies
like Precise, Quest and BMC (probably others). They offer SQL statement
and session information that can be folded into instance information.

Boris - I'm not surprised in your results. I wouldn't describe STATSPACK as
brutal, but it is a significant hit, so you wouldn't want to start doing
snaps at 1 second intervals. STATSPACK does collect a LOT of data, and you
can adjust the amount of data collected with the level if you feel the need
to reduce the brutality. If you find you only need a few pieces of
information, you could write your own routines to collect just what you
need.
   I have no idea why your system mode sees an impact. Perhaps someone who
has more systems experience can venture a guess. You might try several
measurements just in case you caught the system at a bad moment.

RE: statspack snapshots cause 3-4 sec of 100% CPU utilization

2003-06-06 Thread John Kanagaraj
Boris,

The default statspack snapshot is at level 5, which collects Top SQL (by
buffer and Phys reads, etc.) from the Shared pool, and that would cause
significant latching for a large shared pool which in turn results in a high
CPU usage. You could try a level 0 snapshot and look at the CPU utilization
at that time...

RE: statspack snapshots cause 3-4 sec of 100% CPU utilization

2003-06-06 Thread Boris Dali
Thanks, Dennis.

I've been using statspack for quite some time now, but
I've never bothered to ask myself an obvious question,
namely what overhead does statspack impose on the
system (taking about Heisenberg's principle of
uncertainty, he-he)
I guess part of the reason is the fact that
statspack.snap returns prompt almost immediately so I
sort of subconsciously assumed that it's ... light
in terms of resource consumption.

Thanks for the suggestion to write my own routines,
but I don't think I'll go down this route. It's true
that it's probably not too difficult as the statspack
schema is pretty much self explanatory with RI
constarints in place and besides (supprisingly)
statspack package is not wrapped, but ... With every
new release/feature you'll need to keep pace, which
doesn't sound like fun to me. With standard
out-of-the-box statspack you get it for free (stuff
like segment stats in 9i statspack)

Thanks again,
Boris Dali.

RE: statspack snapshots cause 3-4 sec of 100% CPU utilization

Thanks, John.

Any insight as to why is it primarily the system mode
CPU? I've seen high system mode CPU utilization in
non-Oracle stuff (like NFS), but for Oracle I thought
it should be primarily user mode?

Does Oracle's CPU used by this session represents
user-, kernel-mode or both? And what about c in the
raw traces?

Thanks John,

RE: statspack snapshots cause 3-4 sec of 100% CPU utilization

2003-06-06 Thread DENNIS WILLIAMS
Boris - I think John has an excellent point (as always). I just remembered
that one vendor (can't recall which) has some sort of stealth method to
directly sample the SQL buffer. They make a big deal about how it doesn't
impact your system, so I would infer as John says that with a large shared
pool this might be significant.
   My point is to just collect the information that is of value to you. If a
level 0 gets you everything you need, go with that. When I suggest writing
your own routines, I'm not proposing that you could collect all the
information STATSPACK collects more efficiently, but if you only use one or
two pieces of information and you need a level 5 snapshot to get it, then
you might consider a quick script to collect just what you need. Also if you
need frequent snapshots to capture certain critical data, you can avoid some
snapshots.
   CPU cycles are meant to be used, so if snapshots aren't affecting your
overall system, then what is the problem? Well, unfortunately you would like
to collect statistics when the system is the busiest.
   I find STATSPACK to be the most useful when the system appears hung.
With the GUI tools you are still clicking screens when the problem clears
itself up. You can take a couple of STATSPACK snapshots and do damage
control on the people side in between. But man are those snapshots SLW
when the system is about belly up.

statspack.snap returns prompt almost immediately so I
sort of subconsciously assumed that it's ... light
in terms of resource consumption.

Thanks for the suggestion to write my own routines,
but I don't think I'll go down this route. It's true
that it's probably not too difficult as the statspack
schema is pretty much self explanatory with RI
constarints in place and besides (supprisingly)
statspack package is not wrapped, but ... With every
new release/feature you'll need to keep pace, which
doesn't sound like fun to me. With standard
out-of-the-box statspack you get it for free (stuff
like segment stats in 9i statspack)

Thanks again,
Boris Dali.

RE: statspack snapshots cause 3-4 sec of 100% CPU utilization

2003-06-06 Thread Boris Dali
Thanks, Dennis. I am with you on your point about GUI
tools...

 --- DENNIS WILLIAMS [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 Boris - I think John has an excellent point (as
 always). I just remembered
 that one vendor (can't recall which) has some sort
 of stealth method to
 directly sample the SQL buffer. They make a big deal
 about how it doesn't
 impact your system, so I would infer as John says
 that with a large shared
 pool this might be significant.
My point is to just collect the information that
 is of value to you. If a
 level 0 gets you everything you need, go with that.
 When I suggest writing
 your own routines, I'm not proposing that you could
 collect all the
 information STATSPACK collects more efficiently, but
 if you only use one or
 two pieces of information and you need a level 5
 snapshot to get it, then
 you might consider a quick script to collect just
 what you need. Also if you
 need frequent snapshots to capture certain critical
 data, you can avoid some
 snapshots.
CPU cycles are meant to be used, so if snapshots
 aren't affecting your
 overall system, then what is the problem? Well,
 unfortunately you would like
 to collect statistics when the system is the
 busiest.
I find STATSPACK to be the most useful when the
 system appears hung.
 With the GUI tools you are still clicking screens
 when the problem clears
 itself up. You can take a couple of STATSPACK
 snapshots and do damage
 control on the people side in between. But man are
 those snapshots SLW
 when the system is about belly up.

RE: statspack snapshots cause 3-4 sec of 100% CPU utilization

2003-06-06 Thread Boris Dali
Thanks, John.

No there's no paging/swapping going on (1GB real
memory for a single 200MB SGA and just a couple of
users). 

Out of curiousity, John. I usually measure paging via
vmstat (si/so columns on Linux and pi/po everywhere
else - everywhere else being HP-UX, Solaris and
AIX), as well as via sar -w (swpin/s, swpot/s) on
HP-UX/Solaris and sar -W on Linux (pswpin/s,
pswpot/s).

Is sar -r a better way? 

Quick check shows that on Linux it seems to report
memory and swap utilization (but not in terms of
rates, rather absolute numbers). On HP-UX it doesn't
seem to be covered by man pages, but effectively the
output is the same as -w. On Solaris it shows unused
memory pages and disk blocks. And I don't currently
have any IBM boxes around


As for the wrong bucket... well, I'll be able to
verify it in the next couple of weeks on Solaris and
for sure on HP-UX. One thing I know is that both
vmstat and sar -u agree here on Mandrake that it is
the kernel-mode that chews up most of the CPU for this
3-4 sec snapshot time.

Thanks,
Boris Dali.

RE: statspack snapshots cause 3-4 sec of 100% CPU utilization

2003-06-06 Thread John Kanagaraj
Boris,

Nice to discuss this with someone who understands the numerous (and various)
options of 'sar' :)  I use 'sar -r' to cross verify the 'rate of need for
swap' - a sudden increase may mean either bursts of I/O (eating up File
buffer space), memory leaks or a sudden rush of programs Could you take
a quick snapshot of the top 20 CPU consumers using the script below when the
snapshot runs? It takes the SID as a parameter to grep out only Oracle
processes for that SID. The interesting part is that the CPUTIME *and*
ELAPSED time is shown - you should run the snapshot as a script (as in
sqlplus perfstat/ @snapshot.sql) where snapshot.sql has an execute,
followed by an exit. This way, one has a crude set of CPU and Elapsed time
for that process as it runs...

I use this to quickly point out processes that are heavy and consistent CPU
consumers, allowing me to rap some knuckles ;-)

Re: statspack snapshots cause 3-4 sec of 100% CPU utilization

2003-06-06 Thread Mogens Nørgaard
Couldn't agree more. We need to stop using StatsPack for gathering lots 
and lots of stats we can't use for anything anyway. When two experts can 
look at the same summary data and get to different conclusions you're 
not gathering data at the correct level. It's sort of like the 
economists that will study the reams of data about GDP, GDI, money 
supply 1 thru 6, and what have you - and arrive at complete opposite 
conclusions. Same with bstat/estat, StatsPack, our own MirMon, etc.

 Thanks, John.
 
 Any insight as to why is it primarily the system mode
 CPU? I've seen high system mode CPU utilization in
 non-Oracle stuff (like NFS), but for Oracle I thought
 it should be primarily user mode?
 
 Does Oracle's CPU used by this session represents
 user-, kernel-mode or both? And what about c in the
 raw traces?

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION newwheel (p_tabname IN VARCHAR2, p_colname IN
VARCHAR2, p_whereclause IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 AS
TYPE rc_type IS REF CURSOR;
rc  rc_type;
v_col   VARCHAR2(2000);
v_resultVARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
OPEN rc FOR
'SELECT '||p_colname||' FROM '||p_tabname||'
'||p_whereclause;
LOOP
FETCH rc INTO v_col;
EXIT WHEN rc%NOTFOUND;
v_result := v_result||v_col;
END LOOP;
CLOSE rc;
RETURN(v_result);
END newwheel;   

Then I can:

SELECT newwheel('PERFSTAT.STATS$SQLTEXT','sql_text','WHERE HASH_VALUE =
1232131312')
FROM dual;


Hope this can help someone else!

Hey all,

In 8.1.7.4, does anyone have a SQL that will take the output from the
following:

SELECT sql_text
FROM PERFSTAT.STATS$SQLTEXT SS
WHERE SS.HASH_VALUE = :myhash
ORDER BY PIECE

...and append/concat all the rows into a single column.

I *know* someone's done this before and I don't want to re-invent the wheel
unless I have to.  

TIA!
Rich

   I've heard people talk about "downgrading" the statspack scripts

  "downgrade STATSPACK" on Metalink and OTN for starters.
