Tibero Scans Test

Full table scans on a database instance can degrade the performance of the database. This test monitors the extent of full table scans happening on the database.

Target of the test : A Tibero Database server

Agent deploying the test :An internal agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each target database server being monitored.

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter	Description
Test Period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The host for which the test is to be configured.
Port	The port to which the specified host listens. By default, the port number is 8629.
User and Password	In order to monitor a Tibero database server, a special database user account has to be created in every Tibero database instance that requires monitoring. A Click here hyperlink is available in the test configuration page, using which a new Tibero database user can be created. Alternatively, you can manually create the special database user. When doing so, ensure that this user is vested with the select any dictionary and create session privileges. The sample script we recommend for user creation for eG monitoring is: create user tibeg identified by tibeg default tablespace <users> temporary tablespace<temp>; grant create session, select any dictionary tibeg; The name of this user has to be specified in the User text box, and the password of this user has to be entered in the Password text box. This login information is required to query Tibero's internal dynamic views, so as to fetch the current status / health of the various database components.
Confirm Password	Confirm the Password by retyping it here.
Tibero SID	Specify the SID of the target Tibero database instance that is to be monitored in this text box.
Detailed Diagnosis	To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option. The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled: The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

Measurements made by the test
Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Full table scans	Indicates the number of full table scans that happened on the database instance during the last measurement period.	Number	This type of scan reads all rows from a table and filters out those that do not meet the selection criteria. Full table scans may happen due to several reasons. For instance, the indexes of a table may not be used properly in queries. By tuning the queries, the full table scans can be reduced and the database performance significantly improved.
