Oratop工具——实时数据库性能监控工具
原文地址：Oratop工具——实时数据库性能监控工具 做者：realkid4 php
在任何系统优化过程当中，“80/20原则”是咱们必定要关注的问题。简单的说，就是咱们系统80%的性能问题、现象，都是有少数几个甚至一个问题形成的。这就须要咱们面对复杂的系统性能问题的时候，要学会“拨开云雾、蛇打七寸”。 html
落实在Oracle优化过程，一样如此。从10g开始，咱们开始频繁接受“Top-xxx”的概念，不管是从OEM（Oracle Enterprise Manager）仍是借助AWR过后报告库，解决主要矛盾，发掘主要Top Events就成了咱们平常工做不可缺乏的部分。 node
实际工做中，对Top的发掘和Oracle动态信息的收集，不少时候仍是有点力不从心和滞后之感强烈。Oracle官方的客户服务网站MOS，常常有一些有用的小工具，提供给咱们使用。本篇中，咱们主要来介绍下Oratop工具的特色和使用。 linux
1、Oratop工具简述 面试
Oratop源自MOS的一篇文章和工具连接（oratop - utility for near real-time monitoring of databases, RAC and Single Instance [ID 1500864.1]）。从名称上看，Oratop最大特色是支持实时轻量级监控。在Oracle 12c的EM Express以前，OEM仍是一个重体积的组件。相比之下，oratop彻底适合那些想使用数据库实时监控功能，可是又不肯意启动OEM的用户须要。 sql
从功能上看，Oratop主要有三大特色： shell
ü 监控当前的数据库活动； 数据库
ü 监控数据库性能； bash
ü 识别当前阻塞会话和瓶颈会话； 服务器
目前，Oratop是在MOS上免费下载，分别有32位和64位两个版本。
2、软件安装初启动
从网站上下载软件以后，是一个命名为oratop.v13.2.1_X8664的可执行程序，注意要区分32位版和64位版。
首先，判断适合的Linux版本，而且建立程序目录。Oratop是一个典型的“绿色”软件，不须要安装，只须要给一个运行目录便可。
--64位操做系统
[root@localhost ~]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jun 13 18:24:36 EDT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[root@localhost ~]# mkdir /oratop
[root@localhost ~]# cd /oratop
[root@localhost /]# cd oratop/
[root@localhost oratop]# ls -l
total 0
[root@localhost oratop]#
进行目录的权限转换和程序拷贝。为了方便执行，咱们最好还要进行一下重命名工做。
[root@localhost /]# chown -R oracle:oinstall /oratop
[root@localhost /]# su - oracle
[oracle@localhost ~]$ cd /oratop/
[oracle@localhost oratop]$ ls -l
total 92
-rw-r--r--. 1 oracle oinstall 93640 May 17 13:39 oratop.v13.2.1_X8664
[root@localhost oratop]# ls -l
total 92
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 93640 May 17 13:39 oratop.v13.2.1_X8664
[oracle@localhost oratop]$ mv oratop.v13.2.1_X8664 oratop
[oracle@localhost oratop]$ ls -l
total 92
-rw-r--r--. 1 oracle oinstall 93640 May 17 13:39 oratop
注意：使用oratop在环境变量上须要一些额外的配置内容。主要是对于变量LD_LIBRARY_PATH的配置。咱们通常都不会去配置这目录，可是oratop要求必须进行配置。
配置方法是修改根目录上的.bash_profile文件。
[oracle@localhost ~]$ vi .bash_profile
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1
export ORACLE_SID=isis2db
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
（篇幅缘由，掠过部份内容……）
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
".bash_profile" 36L, 901C written
[oracle@localhost ~]$
[oracle@localhost ~]$ env | grep LIB
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/lib
下面咱们来试着执行如下命令。
[oracle@localhost oratop]$ ./oratop -i 10 / as sysdba
oratop: Release 13.2.1 Production on Fri May 17 13:43:34 2013
Copyright (c) 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Processing ...（等待片刻……）
参数-i表示数据刷新间隔，也就是多长实际更新一下页面数据信息。/ as sysdba表示登陆本机链接。注意，这也就意味着咱们能够远程使用oratop链接到其余服务器上面去。更进一步说，经过远程链接的方法，能够链接到任何版本操做系统上的Oracle服务器的。
出现字符界面显示。

3、初识Oratop
从字符界面上看，oratop结果集合分为四个部分，分别为：Header Section、Database Section、DB Events Section和Processes Section。
Header Section中，包括了链接数据库的整体信息，包括运行多长时间、实例个数（for RAC）、内存大小和数据库占据CPU时间的比例。
Database Section中，包括了各个实例（for RAC）下，每一个实例的基本参数和复杂信息。如每一个实例活动会话个数、每秒的事务数量和内存使用状况等。
DB Events Section是从Wait Event角度进行评估。评估排在头几位的等待事件信息，默认状况下，这个度量是累计的，也就是从启动数据库到当前时间。咱们能够切换到当前时间模式下。
Processes Section是记录下处在Block和Contention状态的链接会话信息。当数据库出现有会话被阻塞的状况，就会记录在这个Section里面。
4、丰富的帮助系统
Oratop结果显示中，大量使用的简写和缩写，这在必定程度上阻碍咱们阅读结果。为此，Oratop开发人员设计了完备功能的帮助体系。
在使用-h参数，或者运行过程当中按下键盘h，就能够切换到帮助界面。
使用h按键

动态按键（Dynamic Keys）实际上就是在运行过程当中，能够动态实时点击，查看不一样维度结果的案件。
笔者比较喜欢d按键，这样能够从累计Event信息到实时Event信息，把握最新的数据库等待时间状态。

另外一部分帮助就是显示对四个section的解释，解释的很是详细，值得读者学习。篇幅缘由，这里只显示一份结果。
Section 1- HEADER (Global information)
"oratop" : program name
: instance_id to which oratop is connected to
: oratop's SID

: Total DB memory cluster wide (SGA+PGA)
[F]: User sessions (idle & active)
[F]: Number of distinct users (idle & active)
<%db> : %database busy, 0% indicate idle db
5、复杂应用
Oratop的本质和优点在于轻量型和实时。一个很小的程序，能够在自身消耗较小的状况下发现问题。
Block and Contentio是Process Section部分重点问题。阻塞是数据库内部资源征用的一种结果，及时发现Blocking和Contention是很是重要的。
下面片断是笔者模拟的一个两个会话同时修改一行数据，以后一个会话被阻塞时，oratop监控到的状况。
锁定等待
ID SID SPID USR PROG PGA OPN SQLID/BLOCKER E/T STATUS STE WAIT_EVENT W/T
1 187 25971 SYS DEDI 908k DEL 1:193:25968 20s ACTIVE WAI enq: TX - 20s
在信息中，等待Session信息、SQL信息和等待事件信息都是咱们进行进一步调优的依据。
另外，咱们能够在一台Linux上安装oratop，监控链接另外一台远程数据库服务器，好比AIX系统。
首先，咱们须要创建本地链接名。
[oracle@localhost oratop]$ netca
Oracle Net Services Configuration:
Default local naming configuration complete.
Created net service name: nbstest
Oracle Net Services configuration successful. The exit code is 0
[oracle@localhost oratop]$ tnsping nbstest

Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.1.15.66)(PORT = 1521))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = nbstest)))
OK (0 msec)
监控时候，就是用对应的用户名密码和链接名进行链接。
[oracle@localhost oratop]$ ./oratop -i 10 sys/sys@nbstest as sysdba
oratop: Release 13.2.1 Production on Fri May 17 14:07:39 2013
Copyright (c) 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved.
6、形色参数
最后咱们介绍一下oratop可使用的参数。在示例中，咱们见到了-i参数。
-i参数表示监控间隔。后面通常跟着一个数字，表示每隔几秒钟进行一次数据收集。这个参数要进行选择的，若是太大，不少关键数据不能收集查看。若是设置太少，oratop自身也会形成性能瓶颈。
-b批量运行模式。实时数据若是须要输入到一个结果集合文件，供下一步处理使用，可使用b模式参数。当设置b参数以后，oratop会持续运行，或者在事先设计好的次数后结束。
-n设置最大迭代操做次数。
-d一改默认是累计事件的统计状况，采用实时统计。
[oracle@localhost oratop]$ ./oratop -i 5 -b -d / as sysdba

CONFIGURING
oratop is now distributed and integrated with Trace File Analyzer Collector (TFA) along with all the other tools that are a part of the Support Tools Bundle.
So rather than downloading oratop separately the preferred method for obtaining oratop is to download the latest version of TFA. This integration means
that anytime TFA is upgraded (PSUs, download from MOS, etc) the latest version of oratop and the other Support Tools of the bundle will also be obtained.
If your Grid Infrastructure version is 11.2.0.4 or 12.1.0.2 then TFA will automatcially be installed. In either case we recommend that the TFA installation be
upgraded to the latest version available from TFA Collector - Tool for Enhanced Diagnostic Gathering (Doc ID 1513912.1) in order to obtain the Support Tools
Bundle which was first bundled with TFA version 12.1.2.3.0, as well as various other new features, bug fixes and optimizations.

INSTRUCTIONS
Quick Start Guide
Note: For detailed instructions on how to run oratop please download and review the latest oratop Users Guide.
Use the tfactl CLI to set the database context for oratop, ie., the target database that oratop should connect to, eg.,
$ $TFA_HOME/bin/tfactl db orcl <== set the target database context in TFA for oratop to use
$ $TFA_HOME/bin/tfactl oratop <== oratop will connect to the orcl database, no need to worry about any of the oratop pre-reqs, TFA takes care of all that
OR
Use the tfactl shell to set the database context for oratop, ie., the target database that oratop should connect to, eg.,
$ $TFA_HOME/bin/tfactl <== invoke the tfactl shell prompt
tfactl> db orcl <== set the target database context in TFA for oratop to use
Set db to orcl
orcl tfactl> oratop
To run oratop in "batch mode" for a spoecific number os snapshots
$ $TFA_HOME/bin/tfactl
tfactl> db orcl
Set db to orcl
orcl tfactl> oratop -bn10 <== this example would run 10 snapshots at the default 5 second interval unless the interval had been changed eg. oratop -i 10 -bn10
Once oratop is invoked and running within the TFA framework its operation is exactly the same as if run standalone with the exception that the database must be running on the node from which the "tfactl oratop" command is executed. If the database is running remotely on one or more nodes of a RAC cluster, log in one of those nodes and run the "tfactl oratop" command on there after setting the database context. In other words when oratop is run from within TFA there is no remote database access, a bequeath connection is used instead.
Another thing to be aware of is that when oratop is run from within the TFA framework in batch mode as in the above example the ouput is automatically redirected to the oratop specific directory in the TFA repository location $TFA_REPOSITORY/supptools/oratop for automatic collection by TFA Collector. In standalone mode you would need to use the redirection symbol ">" and specify the path and file name for re-direction and TFA would not necessarily know where to collect the resultant file unless it is redirected to one of the know diagnostic directories.
Running oratop standalone
- Log in to the system as the Oracle RDBMS software installation owner
- Stage the oratop executable on the server on which the tool will be executed. On a RAC system it is only necessary to stage the executable on one node as it is RAC aware.
- Change the name of the executable, eg.
-
$ mv oratop* oratop
- Validate the permissions for oratop are 755 (-rwxr-xr-x). If the permissions are not currently set to 755, set the permissions on oratop as follows:
$ chmod 755 oratop - Configure the execution environment as follows (if not already set accordingly)
-
$ export TERM=xterm #or vt100$ export ORACLE_HOME=<11.2 database home>$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib$ export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH$ export ORACLE_SID= #only needed if connecting to a local database
- Invoke the tool to monitor a local database as follows (interval can be any interval in seconds):
$ ./oratop -i 10 / as sysdba - Non-dba privileged user requires specific grants to use the tool. See User Guide for grants required.
- Databases can be monitored remotely using a tns alias as described in the oratop Users Guide.
-
$ ./oratop -i 10 username/password@tns_alias$ ./oratop -i 10 system/manager@tns_alias
- To exit the program simply press the keyboard key "q". To abort, CTRL-C.
CAUTION
SCRIPT
The tool is a compiled c program.

Abstract
oratop can be used to monitor Oracle databases (release 11.2 onwards) on any platform but the executable must run on Linux with an Oracle compatible client. To monitor databases on other platforms simply define an alias in tnsnames.ora of the Linux client and connect to the databases remotely as you would with sqlplus.
INTRODUCTION
The Oracle program named oratop allows users with select privilege to a set of Oracle’s views to monitor 11.2 or higher version of oracle database activities. It runs dynamically in near real time and provides a live window to a running database. It is Single instance/ RAC/ ASM aware utility. (see sample snapshot shown in Figure 1 below) Key motivations include:
? Monitoring current database activities,
? Database performance,
? Identifying contentions and bottleneck
Figure 1. oratop text-based user interface (default mode)
ENHANCEMENTS
? SQL Monitoring
? Database Service
? Multitenant Database (12c oracle CDB/PDB)
? Active Data Guard
SECTIONS
The “oratop” displays relevant database activity information presented in four sections.
? Section 1 - HEADER: Global database information
? Section 2 - DATABASS: Database instance Activity
? Section 3 - DB EVENTS: AWR like “Top 5 Timed Events“
? Section 4 – PROCESS/SQL: Processes/SQL information
Specific detail of the various sections data can be obtained using the interactive help (see
Runtime usage Sections Detail below)
CLIENT
Connection method is largely similar to sqlplus. If it works for sqlplus, then it should work the same for oratop.

Figure 5. Runtime switch Option ‘k’ (process,“EVENT/[3]LATCH “ & “FILE#:BLK#”)
Usefulness
The “FILE#:BLOCK#” values are significant when there is a long wait on an object. It is possible to identify the reason for a bottleneck (e.g. concurrency, user_io, etc.) by correlating with the wait class and the wait event in the detailed (long) format.

SNIPPETS
1. [ Auto Toggle ] – Section 4 EVENT/LATCH column
“EVENT/*LATCHcolumn auto toggle across refreshes. The auto toggle is activated whenever there is a wait on a latch and potential process hang or spin is detected. It provide a useful information if such hang or spin last for a long duration.
Figure 15. Auto toggle between Event and latch name (process mode)
2. Data Guard
Significant data guard indicators are highlighted in yellow as shown Figure 16 below. In particular, the value for the apply rate (ar) is highly desired.
Figure 16. Snapshot from monitoring a standby database
3. Database Service
Figure 17 below shows an example of oratop started with the “-c” option connecting via the user defined service named “sro”. Service centric values are highlighted in light brown. Values not highlighted are database/ instance overall values.
Note. when in service mode, the database name in the header section will be replaced by the service name and highlighted in red.

4. 12c Multitenant Database
4.1. Connection to CDB[6] root
Relevant indicators to the Multitenant database are highlighted in yellow. At CDB root, the header (section 1) will show the number of tenants housed in this Multitenant database. For example, Figure 18 shows 3 pdbs (not including seed database).
The “CID” column in the SQL mode stands for Container_ID.

4.2. Connection to a PDB[7](pluggable database)
Indicators to a tenant database are highlighted in a yellow for the next two subjects.
4.2.3. Connection without the “-c” command line option
Figure 19 shows a non-service based connection (not using “-c” flag) to a tenant having database name “pdb1” with container id (cid) 3 (which is the 1st pdb). Columns with values being dimmed are not pdb specific, they are generic root level (CDB) unless they are enabled in the database.

4.2.4. Connection with the “-c” command line option
Figure 20 shows shows relevant stats when connecting via service and using the“-c” flag to the same tenant “pdb1”.
Highlighted values in red color shows significant differences with the previously shown Figure 19.

5. Batch Mode
Figure 21 below shows a snapshot from a batch run with output redirected to standard system file.

Note.
In RAC environment, while section 2 of oratop (Database section) is restricted to the top 5 instances in the text-based user interface, all of the available instances will be listed in the batch mode.
Miscellaneous
? RED
Values flagged and highlighted in red color are merely a warning or to emphasize importance.
? Exiting
To quit the program, user may press any of the following keyboard keys:
? Character "q" or "Q", or Esc key
? Ctrl+c (to abort)
In all cases, proper OCI session cleanup and logout is performed.
? Unprivileged user
To allow the non-privileged user to use oratop, the system administrator with DBA privileges may issue the following grants:
grant select on to ;
v$active_services v$instance v$latchname v$parameter V$PDBS (12c) v$recovery_file_dest v$sqlcommand v$system_event

TECHNICAL DETAILS
The “oratop” program is written in C program, using OCI API. It is not intrusive to a database server, and it leaves small footprints on the server, namely the sqls used by the program. It employs Unix “termio, “ioctl” libraries, and VT100 escape characters to achieve cursor control, font colors, program exit control and terminal (xterm) resizing capability.
Overhead
On the client side, the oratop program is a very light process that uses minimal CPU and Memory. For the server process, its resources are server dependent.
Remark.
oratop’s specific queries are intentionally filtered out from the SQL section to reduce noise. Information regarding these queries can be found on the server using AWR.
The intention of using this utility is to get a quick glance at the database. The oratop SQL statements will show up in the top SQL section of AWR due to the high execution rate when running for a long duration and a short interval. Like any other SQL, oratop SQL performance will be impacted on over loaded systems.
Limitations
? The program is not portable; it runs on Linux platforms only
? The program is compatible with oracle client version11.2 and 12cR1
? Requires server to have been started with the following parameter statistics_level=TYPICAL[8]
Caveats
The program may exhibit anomalies at run time, most of which are expected since an event may occur while the program is in the middle of executing/ fetching operations.
Blank Screen
On a busy server, the following operations may leave the terminal blank for a short period:
? A program initialization
? A terminal resizing (shrink/expand the terminal)
? An instance joining/leaving the cluster
? Quitting interactive keys menus
? Upon exiting the program
Sluggish response to keyboard key press
Pressing a keyboard key to interact with the program may appear to have slow response on a busy server. Key press response time depends on the interval/execution state.
Abnormal termination
Like any SQL session, the program may fail due to a server error, and the particular error will be displayed.
Abnormal exit
In some situation (corner cases) the program may leave the terminal (xterm) SHELL environment in an undesirable setting. To restore the terminal to its original settings, he user may issue the Linux command “reset”.
CONCLUSION
The oratop utility provides dba user a quick overview of a running database status and activity. It aggregates useful diagnostics such as overall database performance degradation, bottleneck, identifies potential blocker(s), and helps to detect memory leak from processes. The utility also reports badly performing SQL operations as well.
Furthermore, it helps in tuning some aspects of the database like user concurrency.
