This blog post is a continuation of the previous blog post titled , Oracle Exadata Statistics in AWR report – Part 1 (Basics). In this post we continue on to describe the performance details displayed in the section “Exadata Outlier Summary”.

Outlier Summary Cell Level

This section displays cells that have performance outliers. The Awr Views DBA_HIST_CELL_DISK_SUMMARY, and DBA_HIST_CELL_GLOBAL_SUMMARY contains samples for each cell, disk and flash card.
The individual sample values, the number of samples, the average, the square of the value are all stored. Using this data the mean and the standard deviation are calculated and the range is defined as the average + or – standard deviation. Cells that have values that are above the mean + standard deviation are displayed.

This section will help us identify cells that have performance metrics, which are outside of the standard operating norms of that cell.

Outlier Summary – Disk Level

This section displays Disks that have performance outliers. The Awr Views DBA_HIST_CELL_DISK_SUMMARY contains this info.The individual sample values, the number of samples, the average, the square of the value are all stored. Using this data the mean and the standard deviation are calculated and the range is defined as the average + or – standard deviation. Disks that have values that are above the mean + standard deviation are displayed.

This section will help us identify Disks (Flash or Hard disk) that have performance metrics, which are outside of the standard operating norms of that Disk.

Exadata OS IO Statistics – Outlier Cells

This section displays cells that have IO statistics that are outliers. Per Cells averages, Per Disk Mean, Standard Deviation, Range’s of the IOPS and IO MBPS information is displayed. Averages exceeding the maximum stated capacity of the disk or cell are shown in Dark red.

This section helps identify whether there are cells or disks that exceed their stated capacities.

Exadata OS IO Statistics – Outlier Disks

This section displays disks (Flash and Hard disk) that have IO statistics that are outliers. Per Disk Mean, Standard Deviation, Range’s of the IOPS, IO MBPS and Disk utilization percentage information is displayed. Averages exceeding the Normal Ranges are shown in Dark red.

This section helps identify whether there are disks that are outside of the standard operating norms of that disk.

Exadata OS IO Latency – Outlier Cells

This section displays cells (Flash and Hard disk) that have IO latencies that are outliers.
Aggregated Across all cells, the Mean, Standard Deviation, Range’s of Average Serice times and Average Wait Times are displayed.
If there are cells Averages that exceed the Normal Range, they are displayed as outliers.

This section helps us identify whether there are cells that have I/O latencies that are outside of the standard operating norms for cells in this system.

Exadata OS IO Latency – Outlier Disks

This section displays disks (Flash and Hard disk) that have IO latencies that are outliers.
Aggregated Across all cells, the Mean, Standard Deviation, Range’s of Average Serice times and Average Wait Times are displayed.
If there are disks whose Averages that exceed the Normal Range of the cells, they are displayed as outliers.

This section helps us identify whether there are disks that have I/O latencies that are outside of the standard operating norms for disks in this system.
Exadata OS CPU Statistics – Outlier Cells

This section displays cells that have Cpu utilization that are outliers.
Aggregated Across all cells, the Mean, Standard Deviation, Range’s of Cpu utilization is displayed.
If there are cells whose Average Cpu utilization that exceed the Normal Cpu utilization Range of the cells, they are displayed as outliers.
