• Machine Learning and Statistical Inference address scale, dynamics
and interdependency in Clusters and Clouds
• An ML Model is an in-memory representation of a normally
behaving application over time, learned from historical operational
data , in the form of a collection of vectors of operational data
• The similarity or distance of a monitored data point to a vector in
the in-memory model is the basis to for a comparison between the
normal data and the actual data

• ORAchk/EXAchk provides a single source for all upgrade checks
• ORAchk , EXAchk checks , Database AutoUpgrade checks , Cluster Verification Utility
(CVU) checks
• AHF proactive findings
• Tail Alert and Attention logs and build the timeline
• Dig deeper – AHF to either collect data , analyze
• Performance Issue
• OS or Network Issue

2021-12-01 02:59:45.0 Database oltpacdb DB Log File Switch (oltpacdb_2) [detected]
Problem: DB Control File IO Performance
Description: CHA has detected that reads or writes to the control files are slower than expected.
Cause: The Cluster Health Advisor (CHA) detected that reads or writes to the control files were
slow because of an increase in disk IO.
The slow control file reads and writes may have an impact on checkpoint and Log Writer (LGWR)
performance.
Action: Separate the control files from other database files and move them to faster disks or
Solid
State Devices.
Problem: DB Log File Switch
Description: CHA detected that database sessions are waiting longer than expected
for log switch completions.
Cause: The Cluster Health Advisor (CHA) detected high contention during log switches
because the redo log files were small and the redo logs switched frequently.
Action: Increase the size of the redo logs.

A model captures the normal load phases and their statistics over time , and thus the
characteristics for all load intensities and profiles . During monitoring , any data point similar to one of the vectors
is NORMAL. One could say that the model REMEMBERS the normal operational dynamics over time
