How much CPU is that Oracle database instance using?

This came about from an interesting discussion with our DBAs.
They run multiple databases on a single host, and he wanted to know which of his databases was taking up the lion's share of the CPU.
Memory usage is easy, because you can limit it on the database, but CPU not so much. The database isn't a single process.
After playing about, I figured out a way to tally up the CPU usage of all the processes related to a single database instance.
Once I had done that, I realised that we could do this for all databases, and present the results to Xymon for graphing. The usage trends have proven very useful. We are using the results for job scheduling, capacity planning, and license reduction by reducing the number of available CPUs.

So, that's what it does.
It plots the CPU usage of every database instance it can find.
It can also alert if one is using too much, and for fun, it can add the “idle” and “other” CPU figures, to complete the 100% and make a stack graph.

Client side

  1. Copy the 2 scripts to ~/client/ext/
  2. chown root prustat.pl
  3. chmod 5744 prustat.pl
  4. Add the following to ~/etc/clientlaunch.cfg
[db_cpu]
        ENVFILE $XYMONCLIENTHOME/etc/xymonclient.cfg
        CMD $XYMONCLIENTHOME/ext/db_cpu.ksh
        LOGFILE $XYMONCLIENTHOME/logs/db_cpu.log
        INTERVAL 5m

Server side

Edit xymonserver.cfg

Add to the TEST2RRD variable

db-cpu=ncv

Add to GRAPHS variable

db-cpu::100

Add the following config entry.

SPLITNCV_db-cpu="*:GAUGE"
Add the following code to graphs.cfg

This is the code for a stack graph. Probably works better if you include the idle and other usage figures.

[db-cpu]
  FNPATTERN db-cpu,(.*).rrd
  TITLE Database %CPU Utilisation
  YAXIS %
  -l 0
  -u 100
  DEF:p@RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:lambda:AVERAGE
  AREA:p@RRDIDX@#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@:@STACKIT@
  GPRINT:p@RRDIDX@:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur)
  GPRINT:p@RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max)
  GPRINT:p@RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min)
  GPRINT:p@RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n

For a line graph, use this code. If you are not including the idle and other CPU usage, then this is probably a better option.

[db-cpu]
  FNPATTERN db-cpu,(.*).rrd
  TITLE Database %CPU Utilisation
  YAXIS %

This is a slightly modified version of Brendan Gregg's excellent dtrace script.
I take no credit for it at all. (As much as I would love to)
Go look here for more of his awesome work.
I changed the PATH definition to hard coded in the script, instead of inherited from the environment, which could cause security issues because the script is running as root.

The Numbers

The numbers are not 100% accurate. They can't be.
I am getting the database numbers and the idle numbers at different times. Only seconds apart, but a lot can change in a second.
The database numbers are about as accurate as I can get them, and they are all collected at the same time, so relative to each other, they are accurate.
Accurate to 4 decimal places of a percent. But this means that anything using less than 0.0001% of the CPU will not be counted, and enough of these could add up.
That said, I think 4 decimal places should be OK. If not, maybe we can get Brendan Gregg to write a 6 decimal place version of his script.
I am also calculating the value for “other”, and then fudging it a little when I need to.
The numbers are not 100% accurate!
However, within a 1% uncertainty range, I think it's good enough.

Graphs

I have provided 2 graph types. Line2 and stack.
The line2 graph doesn't really make sense if you have SHOW_IDLE=1 in the script.
The stack graph doesn't work with older versions on Xymon.
However, I would suggest you try the options, and see what works best for you.
Just remember, if you have SHOW_IDLE=1 and then change it, you will have to manually remove the “idle” and “other” rrd files from the server to prevent them from hanging about and potentially making your graphs look crappy.

rm ~/data/rrd/<$HOST>/db-cpu,Other.rrd
rm ~/data/rrd/<$HOST>/db-cpu,Idle.rrd
Real Bugs

The following bugs have been fixed.

  • Bug with grep causing additional processes to be included under specific conditions where a database instance name is a sub-string of another instance name.
  • Top is not part of a standard Solaris install. Updated to use sar is top is not available.
  • Now it can handle the case of no databases running.


At present I am unaware of any further bugs, but if you find any, let me know, and I will do my best to fix them.

Rest.
Where are my laurels?

Much of the credit for this must go to Brendan Gregg.
Without his magic, I would never have been able to create this script.

And some credit goes to a curious pair of DBAs who actually seem to care what their database is doing to the system. Or maybe they just love pretty graphs.

Thanks to Andrey Chervonets for pointing out a possible issue with the grep command, which could cause a dramatic skewing of the CPU usage.

Credit also to Nick Pettefar for reminding me that SMCtop is not part of a standard Solaris install, and is not available everywhere.

  • 2013-03-01
    • Initial release
  • 2013-03-07
    • Updated grep to ensure databases are correctly identified when you have a instance name that is a sub-string of another instance name. e.g. testdb and testdb2
    • Updated to use sar if top is unavailable
  • 2013-04-23
    • Updated to handle the case of no databases running. Previously, it just didn't bother doing anything, but now it will report there are no databases, and can trigger a colour change if there are no databases found.
  • 2014-02-27
    • Updated to run with Solaris 11.
    • If top isn't available, (Solaris 10 and earlier) will use iostat to get idle stats.
    • Fixed a few display bugs.
