Oracle Exadata Performance Monitoring Maximizes Your ROI
Oracle Exadata is a massive investment in performance. But this engineered system can't fix bad SQL. SolarWinds® Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) gives you deep observability into performance issues, helping you optimize every workload and maximize the return on investment of your Oracle Exadata system.
Optimize system health with server uptime monitoring
Hardware resource bottlenecks not only affect application and server uptime, but they can be a symptom of overall poor server performance. SolarWinds® Server & Application Monitor (SAM) is built to monitor your most important hardware resources to help you see where resources may be spread too thin and where you run the risk of downtime.
SAM is also designed to monitor the key metrics you need to better understand overall server health. For example:
- Measuring CPU load can provide insight into whether server hardware needs to be upgraded.
- Poor disk performance can indicate a storage performance issue.
- Physical and virtual memory usage may show where there’s a strain on the system, which can lead to issues.
With insight into these metrics and more, it’s possible to both optimize server health and plan to ensure continued service uptime.

Do you find yourself asking...
Oracle Exadata performance monitoring involves collecting and analyzing metrics from the entire Exadata engineered system. This includes the database servers, the Exadata Storage Servers (cells), and the unique software features that connect them.
Effective monitoring tracks not only standard Oracle database metrics (such as CPU, wait events, and SQL workload) but also Exadata-specific data such as Smart Scans efficiency, Flash Cache hit rates, and cell-level I/O requests and latency. The goal is to identify bottlenecks and find the root cause of performance issues, whether they're in the hardware, the database configuration, or the SQL code itself.
