Monitoring Data Guard Operation

Monitoring Data Guard Operation

As we saw in the last article on installing DataGuard in Oracle 19C, we will now see how to monitor Data Guard.

— This script is to be run on the Standby of a Data Guard Physical Standby Site

set echo off
set feedback off
column timecol new_value tstamp
column spool_extension new_value suffix
select to_char(sysdate,’Mondd_hhmi’) timecol from sys.dual;
column output new_value dbname
select value || ‘_’ output from v$parameter where name = ‘db_name’;

— Output the results to this file
