The ASH Analytics tab shows Active Session History (ASH) analytics charts
that you can use to explore ASH data. This tab is displayed by default.
You can use this tab to drill down into database performance across
multiple dimensions, such as Consumer Group, Wait
Class, SQL ID, User
Name, and so on.
In the ASH Analytics tab, you can select an Average Active Sessions
dimension and view the top activity for that dimension for the selected time period.
The Average Active Sessions chart has a control at the right end of the chart to
select the displayed resolution of ASH data.
The ASH Sample Resolution menu gives users the ability to control the
sampling of ASH data displayed in the Average Active Sessions chart.
Data resolution means displaying more or fewer data points in the sample
data in given time period. Lower resolution displays coarser data with better
performance and less effect on the database. Higher resolution aggregates more data
to display finer detail, but can have a corresponding cost in latency and effect on
the database.
The Sample Resolution menu is displayed at the right-side of the chart.
The data resolution options are:
Low: The chart displays the fewest data
points in the selected data sample.
Medium: The chart displays more data
points in the selected data sample.
High: The chart displays more data points
in the selected data sample.
Maximum: The chart displays the most data
points available in the selected data sample.
For information about how to use this feature, see:
By default, two tables under the Average Active
Sessions graph display the top SQLs and user sessions for the time period
covered by the Average Active Sessions graph. To view activities by other
dimensions, use the menus at the top-left of each of the two tables.
You can use the ASH Analytics tab to monitor real-time SQL activity.
