WASH

Web ASH

WASH - collectes ASH like data without AWR and enables HTTP access to the data in interactive charts. The web access requires that Apache be up and runnning.

Installing on LINUX Redhat

$ cd /var/www
$ # copy the tar.gz file from github here
$ gzip -d khailey-wash-155931c.tar.gz # name generated for github download
$ tar xvf khailey-wash-155931c.tar
$ mv  khailey-wash-155931c/* .

There are 3 basic files

1. ./cash.sh - collect ASH like data from Oracle into a flat file, it runs in a continual loop
2. ./html/ash.html - basic web page using Highcharts
3. ./cgi-bin/json_ash.sh - cgi to read ASH like data and give it to the web page via JSON

plus highchart javascript files in

htdocs/js/

Running

Now you are almost ready to go. You just need to start the data collection with "cash.sh" (collect ASH)

./cash.sh
Usage: usage <username> <password> <host> [sid] [port]

The script "cash.sh" requires "sqlplus" be in the path and that is all. It's probably easiest to

• move/copy cash.sh to an ORACLE_HOME/bin

• su oracle

• kick it off as in:

  nohup cash.sh system change_on_install 172.16.100.250 orcl &

The script "cash.sh" will create a directory in /tmp/MONITOR/day_of_the_week for each day of the week, clearing out any old files, so there are only maximum 7 days of data. (to stop the collection run "rm /tmp/MONITOR/clean/*end" )

To view the data go to your web server address and add "ash.html?q=machine:sid" For example my web server is on 172.16.100.250 The database I am monitoring is on host 172.16.100.250 with Oracle SID "orcl"
