Since most of our databases are not licensed with the Oracle Enterprise Manager Diagnostic Pack, we cannot use AWR (Automatic Workload Repository) and ADDM (Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor). So we have to use the good old Oracle STATSPACK.

The goal of this article is to provide a quick reference for installing and maintaining STATSPACK for an Oracle database. It is based on the excellent “STATSPACK Survival Guide” of Akadia AG. If you need more information on STATSPACK, please refer to the Survival Guide or the Oracle documentation, since this article is only a really quick summary on how to install, configure and use STATSPACK.
