RE: Long term AWR retention

If space is an issue in the database you would like to keep historical AWR data 
for, then you can always export the AWR data via the scripts provided in 
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin and build a dba data warehouse on a separate server 
for analysis across all databases.
That also (obviously) has the benefit of offloading any resource intensive SQL 
you would like to run against the captured performance data.

I think Mark Farnham (sp?) was the first person I noticed pushing this idea and 
I have plans to implement this in the very near future.

Subject: RE: Long term AWR retention

Just something else to keep in mind – it can take a significant amount of space 
to store a lot of history, especially if you increase the frequency of 
snapshots to 15 minutes like I do and run them 24x7.  On one of my systems the 
perfstat schema is about 12GB for approximately 6 months of snapshots taken at 
15 minute intervals 24x7.  I’m guessing AWR would be similar.  I know 12GB 
isn’t huge by today’s standards, but just something to consider.  If you use 
statspack you can cut down on the space consumption by increasing the 
thresholds for the top SQL that is captured.  Tim Gorman has a good script for 
that here:

I think you can do the same thing for AWR but can’t remember for sure off the 
top of my head.

Brandon

What is the real downside to setting retention to something, like, 10 years?
