OS Statistics

In case you dont have access to the database server console, but want to get some
key performance figures like CPU
and memory utilization at the operating system level, you might find what youre
looking for through the v$osstat
view. Its content, thanks to the comments column, is self-explanatory. Note that
whereas some of the figures provided
by the value column are cumulated since the database instance startup (for example,
all the statistics providing
timing information), others are constant (for example, the values relative to the
number of sockets, CPUs and cores)
or the current values (for example, the amount of free memory). Also be aware that
the actual content depends on
the Oracle Database version and platform you run it on. The following query shows
an example based on version 12.1
on Linux:
SQL> SELECT stat_name, value, comments
2 FROM v$osstat
3 WHERE stat_name LIKE '%MEMORY_BYTES';
