Tablespace Allocated Space (MB)

The allocated space of a tablespace is the sum of the current size of its data files. A portion of this allocated space is used to store data while some may be free space. If segments are added to a tablespace, or if existing segments grow, they will use the allocated free space. The allocated free space is only available to segments within the tablespace. If, over time, the segments within a tablespace are not using this free space, the allocated free space is not being used.

This metric calculates the space allocated for each tablespace. It is not intended to generate alerts. Rather it should be used in conjunction with the Allocated Space Used (MB) metric to produce a historical view of the amount of space being used and unused by each tablespace.

Metric Summary

The following table shows how often the metric's value is collected.

Data Source

Tablespace Allocated Space (MB) is calculated by looping though the tablespace�s data files and totalling the size of the data files.

Also, if this file is expected to be offline, the user should insure that the temporary tablespace it belongs to has other available online temporary files.

Tablespace Free Space (MB)

As segments within a tablespace grow, the available free space decreases. If there is no longer any available free space, meaning data files reached their maximum size or there is no more disk space, then the creation of new segments or the extension of existing segments will fail.

This metric checks for the total available free space in each tablespace. This metric is intended for larger tablespaces, where the Available Space Used (%) metric is less meaningful. If the available free space falls below the size specified in the threshold arguments, then a warning or critical alert is generated.

If the version of the monitored database target is Oracle Database 10g Release 1 or later and the tablespace uses Local Extent Management, then the Oracle Database Server evaluates this metric internally every 10 minutes. Alternatively, if the version of the monitored Database target is Oracle 9i or earlier, or the tablespace uses Dictionary Extent Management, then the Oracle Management Agent tests the value of this metric every 30 minutes.

Data Source

MaximumSize� Total Used Space where:

• TotalUsedSpace: Total used space in MB of tablespace

• MaximumSize: Maximum size (in MB) of the tablespace. The maximum size is determined by looping through the tablespace�s data files, as well as additional free space on the disk that would be available for the tablespace should a data file autoextend.

User Action

Perform one of the following:

• Increase the size of the tablespace by: Enabling automatic extension for one of its existing data files, manually resizing one of its existing data files, or adding a new data file.

• If the tablespace is suffering from tablespace free space fragmentation problems, consider reorganizing the entire tablespace.

• Relocate segments to another tablespace, thereby increasing the free space in this tablespace.

• Run the Segment Advisor on the tablespace.

Tablespace Space Used (%)

As segments within a tablespace grow, the available free space decreases. If there is no longer any available free space, meaning data files have reached their maximum size or there is no more disk space, then the creation of new segments or the extension of existing segments will fail.

This metric checks the Available Space Used (%) for each tablespace. If the percentage of used space is greater than the values specified in the threshold arguments, then a warning or critical alert is generated.

If the version of the monitored database target is Oracle Database 10g Release 1 or later and the tablespace uses Local Extent Management, then the Oracle Database Server evaluates this metric internally every 10 minutes. Alternatively, if the version of the monitored Database target is Oracle 9i or earlier, or the tablespace uses Dictionary Extent Management, then the Oracle Management Agent tests the value of this metric every 30 minutes.

• MaximumSize: Maximum size (in MB) of the tablespace. The maximum size is determined by looping through the tablespace�s data files, as well as additional free space on the disk that would be available for the tablespace should a data file autoextend.

User Action

Perform one of the following:

• Increase the size of the tablespace by: Enabling automatic extension for one of its existing data files, manually resizing one of its existing data files, or adding a new data file.

• If the tablespace is suffering from tablespace free space fragmentation problems, consider reorganizing the entire tablespace.

• Relocate segments to another tablespace, thereby increasing the free space in this tablespace.

• Run the Segment Advisor on the tablespace.

Segments Not Able to Extend Count

This metric checks for segments that cannot allocate an additional extent. If the number of segments is greater than the values specified in the threshold arguments, a warning or critical alert is generated.

Metric Summary for Database Control and Cloud Control

The following table shows how often the metric's value is collected and compared against the default thresholds. The 'Consecutive Number of Occurrences Preceding Notification' column indicates the consecutive number of times the comparison against thresholds should hold TRUE before an alert is generated.

Data Source

After checking for the largest chunk free space in the tablespace, this is the number of segments that cannot allocate an additional extent.

For additional information about the data source, refer to the problemTbsp.pl Perl script located in the sysman/admin/scripts directory.

User Action

Perform one of the following:

• Increase the size of the tablespace by enabling automatic extension for one of its existing data files, manually resizing one of its existing data files, or adding a new data file.

• If the tablespace is suffering from tablespace free space fragmentation problems, consider reorganizing the entire tablespace.

• Relocate segments to another tablespace, thereby increasing the free space in this tablespace.

Segments Not Able to Extend

This metric checks for segments that cannot allocate an additional extent.

This is a database-level metric. For cluster databases, this metric is monitored at the cluster database target level and not by member instances.

Metric Summary

The following table shows how often the metric's value is collected.

Data Source

The first 10 segment names that cannot allocate an additional extent in the tablespace.

User Action

Perform one of the following:

• Increase the size of the tablespace by enabling automatic extension for one of its existing data files, manually resizing one of its existing data files, or adding a new data file.

• If the tablespace is suffering from tablespace free space fragmentation problems, consider reorganizing the entire tablespace.

Segments Approaching Maximum Extents Count

This metric checks for segments nearing the upper limit of the number of maximum extents. If the number of segments is greater than the values specified in the threshold arguments, a warning or critical alert is generated.

Metric Summary for Database Control and Cloud Control

The following table shows how often the metric's value is collected and compared against the default thresholds. The 'Consecutive Number of Occurrences Preceding Notification' column indicates the consecutive number of times the comparison against thresholds should hold TRUE before an alert is generated.

Data Source

Number of segments for which the maximum number of extents minus the number of existing extents is less than 2.

For additional information about the data source, refer to the problemTbsp.pl Perl script located in the sysman/admin/scripts directory.

User Action

If possible, increase the value of the segment�s MAXEXTENTS storage parameter. Otherwise, rebuild the segment with a larger extent size ensuring the extents within a segment are the same size by using a locally managed tablespace. For a dictionary managed tablespace, specify STORAGE parameters where NEXT=INITIAL and PCTINCREASE = 0.

Segments Approaching Maximum Extents

Segments nearing the upper limit of maximum extents. This is a database-level metric. For cluster databases, this metric is monitored at the cluster database target level and not by member instances.

Metric Summary

The following table shows how often the metric's value is collected.

Data Source

The first 10 segment names approaching their MaxExtent in the tablespace.

User Action

If possible, increase the value of the segment�s MAXEXTENTS storage parameter. Otherwise, rebuild the segment with a larger extent size ensuring the extents within a segment are the same size by specifying STORAGE parameters where NEXT=INITIAL and PCTINCREASE = 0.

For segments that are linearly scanned, choose an extent size that is a multiple of the number of blocks read during each multiblock read. This ensures that the Oracle multiblock read capability is used efficiently.
