I agree with you John, I remember having a scenario where I want to have a time series Interconnect Traffic on 3 node RAC environment on 10.2.0.4. I need to get this data to correlate if I'm having an interconnect saturation. Apparently 10g does not have a DBA_HIST table for it... so I was using kSar (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ksar/) and checking it against the raw AWR reports you can see the details on this image http://lh5.ggpht.com/_F2x5WXOJ6Q8/TTJpfiKQPaI/AAAAAAAABA8/7WHc3xQGlk8/RACInterconnectTraffic.png I'm still on the process of figuring out how to get the "Estimated Interconnect traffic" in a time series manner in 10gR2 but on the newer version here are the relevant DBA_HIST views... In 11g Interconnect Ping Latency Stats - DBA_HIST_INTERCONNECT_PINGS In 11gR2 Interconnect Throughput by Client - DBA_HIST_IC_CLIENT_STATS Interconnect Device Statistics - DBA_HIST_IC_DEVICE_STATS, DBA_HIST_CLUSTER_INTERCON -- Karl Arao karlarao.wordpress.com karlarao.tiddlyspot.com
