Use Chrome plugin to make Oracle AWR reports (formattter) friendly

Blogpost of Tom Kyte Thursday, April 28, 2011

An "AWR Formatter" written by a friend of mine, Tyler Muth. It's pretty cool - works as a Chrome plugin - and it makes an AWR report a little more 'friendly' to use. It creates hot links for many of the wait events (so you know what they mean) and it summarizes up a lot of stuff - making the AWR report a lot more "interactive". Check it out and give him feedback on it if you have time.

 

Installation:

• Open this URL in Google Chrome: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4131944/AWR-Format/AWR-Format.crx
• Choose “Install”
• Go to Tools > Extensions and check the “Allow access to file URLs” box. This is critical as it only works on local files.

You can watch a screencast of it in action here.
