Impact of reducing the AWR snapshot interval to 30 minutes

PeaceMongerMar 15 2017 — edited Mar 16 2017

DB version: 11g (11.2.0.4 )

Platform : RHEL 6.5

I have a 3-Node RAC DB which is 25 TeraBytes in size.

Lately, this DB was experiencing some performance issues. For better diagnosis, I want to reduce the AWR snapshot interval from 1 hour to 30 minutes using the below command.

exec dbms_workload_repository.modify_snapshot_settings

(

  interval  =>  30,

  retention =>  20160 -----> (minutes equivalent of 2 weeks)

);

Since this is a critical production system, application team have concerns on the below 2 items

1. Performance impact ( CPU, Storage I/O)

  Application team want me to quantify (in percentage) the performance impact.

  Is it safe to say that the DB will be 1 to 2% slower ?

2. Extra space requirements for SYSAUX

I gather that AWR data is stored in Sysaux tablespace. Any idea what will be extra space (in percentage) that will be consumed in

SYSAUX tablespace because of this change ?

Any other potential problems ?
