ora_cpu.pl tool for Linux
A very brief update.
One of the smaller (and nicer) part of ORA_MEM package is ora_cpu.pl utility that shows graphically what active db processes are doing at the moment … be it running SQL, accessing db object or waiting for something.
As an added benefit, it also shows some important OS statistics, such as process state or ‘spot’ CPU utilization for your database sessions.
Previously, this tool was only available for AIX, but now I ported it to Linux as well.
If you run it as:
You will see a color coded picture like the one below (click on it to see the picture full scale):
Alternatively, run it with -h option to see what else the tool can do.
Linux version of ora_cpu.pl is now available at the TOOLS section of the site, or you can use this direct link to download.
Give it a try and Enjoy
