I released OraSRP v1.9
A little changes in outputs (only get rid of irrelevant numbers in
Summary section).
Added three new flags:
--stdin tells orasrp to read data from stdin. By using this flag its
possible to analyze gzipped/compressed trace files on the fly. Like
this:
$ gzip -cd trace_file.trc.gz | orasrp.py -s --stdin > trace_profile.html
--pattern flag is used in http server mode. It tells OraSRP to
show/process only those files which names contain specified pattern.
--htpasswd flag is also used in http server mode. It instructs
OraSRP to use .htpasswd file for client authentication. To create
.htpasswd file one can use either htpasswd utility from apache web
server or htpasswd.py supplied with new versions of OraSRP.
Combination of --pattern and --htpasswd flags allows DBA to grant
access to developer for analyzing of his/her own trace files without
breaking security. I mean, that by default Oracle server process
generates trace files accessible only to DBA. And this is good from
security point of view (and, btw, setting up _trace_files_public=true
is bad from security point of view). But, contrary, disallowing
developer to access to his/her own trace files is bad from performance
point of view. Here's the three-step solution for this dilemma:
1. DBA tells developer to use unique tracefile_identifier (alter
session set tracefile_identifier='uniq_devid') before enabling
extended SQL trace.
2. DBA creates .htpasswd file in user_dump_dest and adds an entry in
this file for this developer.
3. DBA runs OraSRP on the server (let's call it prod01) like this:
$ orasrp.py -d /path/to/user_dump_dest --htpasswd
--pattern=uniq_devid --port=3000
After that DBA just provide the developer with the link (http://prod01:3000/).
Voila! Developer can now analyze his/her own trace files. But he/she
still is not able to view raw traces (with systemstate dump, for
example).
