Current Sessions

Performance Analysis for Oracle

Current Sessions Node

The Real-Time mode Current Sessions node traces real-time instance and session activity sorted in accordance with chosen Resource and Toolbar settings. The Time range selector is unavailable, as all displays are fixed on real-time presentation.

Current Instance Activity

The = 4) BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event)" CLASS=BSSCPopup id=A1>Activity Timeline dynamic representation displays the instance resource consumption in a layered manner, and the Resource Breakdown in pie-chart fashion, both, as of the last minute.

Activity Summary Panes

The following two panes are displayed/hidden by clicking on the / icon. 

The Oracle Sessions Summary pane displays a current reading of the number of existing Oracle sessions, and their grouping as to whether active or idle. Active sessions are further classified as to their current wait state usage. These readings indicate how your Oracle sessions are employing system resources.

The System Resource Usage pane displays the CPU and Memory resources as follows:

  • CPU - Total percentage of CPU being used, divided into the portion used by this Oracle instance and the portion used by all other activities.

  • Memory - Server computer RAM, divided into the amount used by this Oracle instance, the amount used by all other activities and the remaining idle capacity.

Current Session Pane Listing

The list pane displays a current snapshot of all presently live sessions sorted in accordance with the = 4) BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event)" CLASS=BSSCPopup id=A2>resource selection.

Select individual current sessions () for further analysis and display by double-clicking the session of interest. The selected session then joins the left node listing, where it remains until up-to-an-hour after the session expires (that is, becomes inactive) or the user disconnects from Performance Analysis.

Use this feature to easily identify the most resource-demanding sessions currently affecting your system.

Right clicking within this area displays the following pop-up menu:
