Things to consider
Running time
- Anywhere from few minutes (small system) to many hours (system with lots of databases)
- Overhead: by default, restricted to 8 parallel tasks (CPUs) – can be increased or lowered (
--tasks
option) - Oracle RAC is known to sometimes run very long to generate AWRs
- dbcollect retrieves performance data already available on the system (AWR/Statspack, SYSSTAT)
File size
- The generated ZIP file can be several 100 MB up to several GB if there are lots of databases
- Make sure there is enough space in /tmp or change tmpdir with
--tempdir
