1 Oracle Database Fault Diagnosability Infrastructure/DBMS_HM

Oracle Fault Diagnosability Infrastructure consolidate all the error log and store the files in the ADR ( automatic diagnostic repository ) outside of Oracle database. Here are the error log tyeps

 

• Alert: XML base alert log.
• Cdump: Core dumps for the database.
• Trace: Trace files, including the text format of alert logs
• Incident: one for each incident.
• Health Monitor log

Health monitor check can be manually invoke by DBMS_HM package. Here are the Health Monitor check related tables:

• V$HM_RUN : List all the Health Check has been executed
• V$HM_FINDING : List the finding
• V$HM_RECOMMENDATION : List the recommendation.
• V$HM_CHEK: List all the check can be run by DBMS_HM
  

List all the diagnostic log file location

 show parameter diagnostic_dest

 col Name format A22

 col value format A50

 select Name,Value from v$diag_info;

List the check can be perform by DBMS_HM

 SELECT name FROM V$HM_CHECK WHERE INTERNAL_CHECK = 'N'

Invoke DBMS_HM check

exec dbms_hm.run_check('Dictionary Integrity Check', 'MY_HM1');

 

List the check has been run

select run_id, name from v$hm_run;

 

Retrieve the report

SET LONG 100000

SET LONGCHUNKSIZE 1000

SET PAGESIZE 1000

SET LINESIZE 512

SELECT DBMS_HM.GET_RUN_REPORT('MY_HM1') FROM DUAL;

adrci:

adrci – Automatic diagnostic repository command line interface is the command line which we can use to retrieve the alert log , HM report.   $ORACLE_HOME/bin/adrci

 

 

Use adrci to retrieve the alert log

show alert -tail

show homes

set homepath diag/rdbms/oradb0/oradb0

show alert -tail

The tail is the same result if we use linux tail command to tail the alert log

Use adrci to retrieve the health monitor report

show report hm_run HM_RUN_1

The output is going to be the same if we view the file under HM directory .
