Often when I have a 10046 trace file, especially when looking at I/O issues, I want a histogram of I/O response time.  To get I/O response time I’ve hacked out incomple awk scripts from time to time, always meaning to write a more complete one, well now I don’t have to. It’s already been done!

Here is a cool perl script from Clive Bostock: README.TXT 10046.pl

(also checkout orasrp which produces a more indepth report in HTML. I like both. I like 10046.pl as a short  easy portable script that I can modify, whereas orasrp is a binary and only works on some ports)

For example, if I trace a session with 10046, and retrieve the tracefile, then I can run:

$ 10046.pl -t  mytrace.trc

and it will output  a header and three sections

Header

  1. Summary of all events for tracefile

  2. Events by object summary

  3. Events by object histogram

This looks like

wait histogram by object

EVENT HISTOGRAM BREAKDOWN
===========================
This section splits the event counts into elapsed time
buckets so that we can see if there are any suspiciousn
or anomalous response time / frequency patterns.
Object Id : Wait Event              <1ms <2ms <4ms <8ms <16ms <32ms <64ms <128ms <256ms <512ms >=1024ms
