Summary

See all your databases in numbers, and open the list of databases behind each number.

The Overview of Summary with four vitals at the top and the Needs attention, Grew the most, Busiest and Database mix cards

Before you begin

  • Open Tools › Summary. You need View Summary.
  • Summary uses the data that Scops already has, mostly the daily inventory, so it adds no load to your databases. A new database shows completely after its first inventory.
  • The figures can be 15 minutes old. The refresh button builds them again.

Set the period

Click 1M (default), 3M, 6M or 1Y at the top right. The period sets the vitals and Grew the most.

Open the list behind a number

  1. Click a vital, a card, a row or a figure. Its list opens in a panel.

  2. Click a database in the list to open its Dashboard.

The Backups panel with the backup bar and the databases with a backup older than 36 hours
The oldest backups come first. Standby marks a backup on a physical standby.

In the Size panel, Projection shows the next period as a dashed line. It needs Scops AI.

Overview

VitalWhat it shows
DatabasesThe registered databases, and the distinct ones: a RAC database registered node by node counts one time.
SizeThe allocated size of all databases, and its growth as a yearly rate.
LoadThe active sessions of all databases on the last day. Amber when the last 3 days are 25% above the first 3 days of the period.
BackupsThe primary databases with no full or incremental backup in 7 days (red), or a backup older than 36 hours (amber).
CardWhat it shows
Needs attentionDatabases that are offline, with no backup in 7 days, with a warning, or with a backup older than 36 h.
Grew the mostThe most growth in the period.
BusiestThe most active sessions in the last 7 days.
Database mixThe databases by environment, version, platform and container.

A bar is the true share of the total. A database with 5% of the growth has a short bar, also at the top of the list.

Inventory
