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
