Hi Max,

Few ideas below and some slightly OT.

  • Business might not "get it" and appreciate the analytics done on AWR data. If possible ask this guys if they can point to any public anonymized sample data in consumer product goodsspace http://www.datameer.com/pdf/Datameer_Consumer_Packaged_Goods.pdf (I don't work for them :))
  • Connect Excel to your Hadoop cluster and use some out of the box chart types to display your results, business love charts/visual and if they are in Excel they will like it even more (it is very easy using ODBC setup, Google it)
  • Coming to AWR data, what questions you would want to ask of AWR data from multiple systems? Does it make sense to relate AWR data from multiple systems? Interesting perspective, here are some sample questions that can be asked but do they make sense? *Do the answers provide any useful information, value? You might want to ask Tanel Poder. *
    • Top 5 wait events across all systems
    • Top 5 wait events across all systems vs DB Time/Elapsed Time, across all systems
    • .....

Thanks
Paresh
