RE: Log in Storm Caused Database Crash

You can also look at you listener log to see number of connection attempts to system.

If it was a true overwhelming connection storm then you will also probably have information in the alert.log where errors are being reported spawning against the database.

Hi Upendra,  

Thank you for your response. This is an internet facing application and we were expecting a burst load to check for the capacity of the system. Is there a way to measure what no of sessions in the database is breaking point. I was doubting if any Sub-Optimal Connection Pooling might have caused this.  

Highly appreciated your help here.

If you need to isolate where the connections originated from, you could look into DBA_Hist views.  

You may want to start with this one.. https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/statviews_3125.htm#REFRN23400

docs.oracle.com <http://docs.oracle.com>

DBA_HIST_ACTIVE_SESS_HISTORY. DBA_HIST_ACTIVE_SESS_HISTORY displays the history of the contents of the in-memory active session history of recent system activity.

Also look into any application server logs and see if there were any issues with the application server itself..

Hi List,  

We ran into an issue recently and wanted some help in figuring out this issue.  

Database was not responding and one thing from AWR observed before fail over was the login storm.      

Logons cumulative also increased during this interval.    

Logons cumulative were 1237 in total in the before AWR report. Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
