--
-- File name:   snapper.sql (Oracle Session Snapper v4)
-- Purpose:     An easy to use Oracle session-level performance measurement tool
--              which does NOT require any database changes nor creation of any
--              database objects!
--
--              This is very useful for ad-hoc performance diagnosis in environments
--              with restrictive change management processes, where creating
--              even temporary tables and PL/SQL packages is not allowed or would
--              take too much time to get approved.
--
--              All processing is done by a few sqlplus commands and an anonymous
--              PL/SQL block, all that's needed is SQLPLUS access (and if you want
--              to output data to server-side tracefile then execute rights on
--              DBMS_SYSTEM). Snapper only queries some V$ views (and in advanced
--              mode some X$ fixed tables, but it does not enable any traces nor
--              use oradebug.
--
--              The output is formatted the way it could be easily post-processed
--              by either Unix string manipulation tools or loaded to spreadsheet.
--
--              Snapper v4.20 Oracle 12c CDB and PDB grouping
--              Snapper v4 supports RAC and requires Oracle 10.1 or a newer DB version.
--              Snapper v3.5 works on Oracle versions starting from Oracle 9.2 (no RAC support)
--
-- Note1:       The "ASH" functionality in Snapper just samples GV$SESSION view,
--              so you do NOT need Diagnostics Pack licenses to use Snapper's
--              "ASH" output
--
-- Note2:       Snapper just reports you performance metric deltas in a snapsphot
--              and does not attempt to solve any performance problems for you.
--              You still need to interpret and understand these standard Oracle
--              metrics yourself

--  Usage:
--
--      snapper.sql <ash[1-3]|stats|all>[,out][,trace][,pagesize=X][,gather=[s][t][w][l][e][b][a]]> <seconds_in_snap> <snapshot_count> <sid(s)_to_snap>
--
--          ash      - sample session activity ASH style, waits and SQL_IDs from gv$session and
--                     print a TOP SQL/wait report from these samples (this is the default from
--                     Snapper 3.0). The columns chosen for TOP calculation are defined in CONFIG
--                     section below.
--
--          ash=sql_id+event+wait_class
--                   - the above example illustrates that you can also specify the gv$session
--                     columns for TOP report yourself. The above example will show a TOP
--                     activity report grouped by SQL_ID + EVENT + WAIT_CLASS
--                     Note that the columns are separated by a "+" sign (as comma is a snapper 
--                     parameter separator, not ASH column separator)
--
--          ash1
--          ash2
--          ash3     - in addition to "ash" report you can have 3 more reported during the same
--                     snapper sampling snapshot. Just include ash1=col1+col2,ash2=col3+col4,...
--                     parameters if you want multiple TOP reports per Snapper snapshot
--
--          stats    - sample gv$sesstat,gv$sess_time_model,gv$session_event performance counters
--                     and report how much these stats increased (deltas) during Snapper run
--          all      - report both ASH and stats sections
--
--          out      - use dbms_output.put_line() for output. output will be seen only when
--                     Snapper run completes due to dbms_output limitations. This is the default.
--          trace    - write output to server process tracefile
--                     (you must have execute permission on sys.dbms_system.ksdwrt() for that,
--                      you can use both out and trace parameters together if you like )
--
--          pagesize - display header lines after X snapshots. if pagesize=0 don't display
--                     any headers. pagesize=-1 will display a terse header only once
--
--          gather   - if omitted, gathers s,t,w statistics (see below)
--                   - if specified, then gather following:
--
--                        Session-level stats:
--                          s - Session Statistics from gv$sesstat
--                          t - Session Time model info from gv$sess_time_model
--                          w - Session Wait statistics from gv$session_event and gv$session_wait
--
--                        Instance-level stats:
--                          l - instance Latch get statistics ( gets + immediate_gets )
--                          e - instance Enqueue lock get statistics
--                          b - buffer get Where statistics -- useful in versions up to 10.2.x
--                          a - All above
--
--          sinclude - if specified, then show only GV$SESSTAT stats which match the
--                     LIKE pattern of sinclude (REGEXP_LIKE in 10g+)
--          linclude - if specified, then show only GV$LATCH latch stats which match the
--                     LIKE pattern of linclude (REGEXP_LIKE in 10g+)
--          tinclude - if specified, then show only GV$SESS_TIME_MODEL stats which match the
--                     LIKE pattern of tinclude (REGEXP_LIKE in 10g+)
--          winclude - if specified, then show only GV$SESSION_EVENT wait stats which match the
--                     LIKE pattern of winclude (REGEXP_LIKE in 10g+)
--
--          you can combine above parameters in any order, separate them by commas
--          !!!don't use spaces as otherwise they are treated as next parameters by sqlplus   !!!
--          !!!if you want to use spaces, enclose the whole sqlplus parameter in doublequotes !!!
--
--      <seconds_in_snap> - the number of seconds between taking snapshots
--      <snapshot_count>  - the number of snapshots to take ( maximum value is power(2,31)-1 )
--
--      <sids_to_snap> can be either one sessionid, multiple sessionids separated by
--      commas or a SQL statement which returns a list of SIDs (if you need spaces
--      in that parameter text, enclose it in double quotes).
--
--      if you want to snap ALL sids, use "all" as value for
--      <sids_to_snap> parameter
--
--      alternatively you can use "select inst_id,sid from gv$session" as value for <sids_to_snap>
--      parameter to capture all SIDs. you can write any query (with multiple and/or)
--      conditions to specify complex rules for capturing only the SIDs you want
--
--      starting from version 3.0 there are further session_id selection options available in 
--      instead of sid you can write such expressions for snapper's <sids_to_snap> parameter:
--
--         sid=123     -- take sid 123 only (the same as just writing 123)
--         user=tanel  -- take all sessions where username is 'tanel' (case insensitive)
--                     -- this is the same as writing following subquery for the 
--                     -- <sids_to_snap> parameter:
--                            select inst_id,sid from gv$session where lower(username) like lower('tanel')
--                     
--         user=tanel% -- take all sessions where username begins with 'tanel%' (case insensitive)
--                     -- the = means actually LIKE in SQL terms in this script
-- 
--          spid=1234  -- all these 3 parameters do the same thing:
--          ospid=1234 -- they look up the sessions(s) where the processes OS PID=1234
--          pid=1234   -- this is useful for quickly looking up what some OS process is doing
--                     -- if it consumes too much of some resource
--          qc=123     
--          qcsid=123  -- show query coordinator and all PX slave sessions
--
--         program=sqlplus%     -- the following examples filter by corresponding gv$session coulmns 
--         machine=linux01      -- machine
--         osuser=oracle        -- os username
--         module=HR            -- module
--         "action=Find Order"  -- note the quotes because there is a space inside the parameter
--                              -- value
--         client_id=tanelpoder -- show only sessions where client_identifier is set to tanelpoder
--                              -- this is very useful in cases with (properly instrumented)
--                              -- connection pools
--
--
--      Note that if you want to change some "advanced" snapper configuration parameters
--      or default values then search for CONFIG in this file to see configurable
--      variable section

--      NB! Read the online examples, these are more detailed and list script output too!

--       Wait, gv$sesstat and gv$sess_time_model statistics are reported by default
--       Starting from V3 the ASH style session activity report is shown as well)
--

--      (Output one 1-second snapshot of session 515 using dbms_output and exit
--       only Wait event statistics are reported, no ASH)
--
--      @snapper ash,gather=st 1 1 515
--      (Output one 1-second snapshot of session 515 using dbms_output and exit
--       only gv$sesstat and gv$sess_Time_model statistics are gathered + ASH)
--
--      @snapper trace,ash,gather=stw,pagesize=0 10 90 117,210,313
--      (Write 90 10-second snapshots into tracefile for session IDs 117,210,313
--       all statistics are reported, do not print any headers)
--
--      @snapper trace,ash 900 999999999 all
--      (Take a snapshot of ALL sessions every 15 minutes and write the output to trace,
--       loop (almost) forever )
--
--      @snapper out,trace 300 12 "select inst_id,sid from gv$session where username='APPS'"
--      (Take 12 5-minute snapshots of all sessions belonging to APPS user, write
--       output to both dbms_output and tracefile)
--
--  Notes:
--
--      Snapper does not currently detect if a session with given SID has
--      ended and been recreated between snapshots, thus it may report bogus
--      statistics for such sessions. The check and warning for that will be
--      implemented in a future version.
