    regaring wait events

    Do we need to tune the wait event if total_timeouts column from v$system_event corresponding to that wait event is 0 or not increasing? Though the value in time_waited is high. The instance has been rebooted 3-4 days ago.

                                                         Total Wait    wait       Waits
    Event                                  Waits   Timeouts      Time (s)   (ms)     /txn
    ---------------------------- ------------ ---------- ---------- ------ --------
    db file sequential read           15,425           0        121           8         2.1
    direct path read                  190,330          0        109           1        25.5

    Don't be lazy and use the code tags

    Why would I do that when you can post it properly with wrap code tags?

    The avg wait time (ms) for the top events are 8, 1, 2, 5. When these numbers are not very high, should I need to worry about the events? No.
    Did any user complaint about performance?

    For an instance running for four days wait events suggest very little activity.
    "db file scatered read" doesn't even show on your top wait events.
    Is anybody complaining about performance? - if this is the case address the specific query user is complaining about.

    Yes, there are complaints. All I am supposed to do is to find something wrong if it is there. I checked out the memory structures, etc. Everything seemed to be alright. I had a doubt about wait events. So just felt like asking it. I would collect more data on Monday and then share it.


    And Yes, I wanted to represent the above output in the righteous manner but after so many attempts, I just couldn't find the right option. Thanks anyways!

    1- Identify the top five complains - start for the ones bothering management.
    2- Identify offending queries.
    3- Fine tune offending queries.
    4- Once offending queries are fixed document execution plan, cardinality of involved tables and, response time - tkprof-ed trace wouldn't hurt.
    5- Go to #1
