Oracle Logons Test
User logons serve as good indicators of how applications are using the databases on the Oracle server. Abuse/inefficient use of the database can severely hamper the performance of the corresponding application.
This test reports the number of user logons that has occurred per second in each Oracle database on a monitored Oracle server.
This test is disabled by default. To enable the test, go to the enable / disable tests page using the menu sequence : Agents -> Tests -> Enable/Disable, pick Oracle Database as the Component type, Performance as the Test type, choose this test from the disabled tests list, and click on the << button to move the test to the ENABLED TESTS list. Finally, click the Update button.
Target of the test : An Oracle server
Agent deploying the test : An internal agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for every database on the Oracle server.

Logon rate: |
Indicates the rate at which the users are logged on in this Oracle database. |
Number/Sec |
A high logon rate may indicate that an application is inefficiently accessing the database. Database logons are costly operations. If an application is performing a logon for every SQL access, that application will experience poor performance as well as affect the performance of other applications on the database. If there is a high logon rate try to identify the application that is performing the logons to determine if it could be redesigned such that session connections could be pooled, reused or shared. |
