compared to how often it has to be read from
the disk.

QOS_ORACLE_buf_cachehit_ratio_users pct Same as buf_cachehit_ratio, only per user. It 4.6

helps to find a poor query or application.

QOS_ORACLE_check_dbalive State This checkpoint tries to connect to an 4.6

instance. In case the connection cannot be
established, an alert is generated.
 Note: This checkpoint cannot be deactivated.

QOS_ORACLE_database_size Bytes Monitors the space size (in bytes) for each 4.6
database, log and data files together.

QOS_ORACLE_datafile_status State Reports all files being in other status as 4.6

'ONLINE'.
