PROMPT IMPORTANT PARAMETERS RELATING TO LOG FILE SYNC WAITS:
column name format a40 wra
column value format a40 wra
select inst_id, name, value from gv$parameter

PROMPT HISTOGRAM DATA FOR LFS AND OTHER RELATED WAITS:
PROMPT
PROMPT APPROACH: Look at the wait distribution for log file sync waits
PROMPT by looking at "wait_time_milli". Look at the high wait times then
PROMPT see if you can correlate those with other related wait events.
column event format a40 wra
select inst_id, event, wait_time_milli, wait_count
from gv$event_histogram
where event in ('log file sync','gcs log flush sync',
'log file parallel write','wait for scn ack',
'log file switch completion','gc cr grant 2-way',
'gc buffer busy','gc current block 2-way') or
event like '%LGWR%' or event like '%LNS%'
order by 2 desc,1,3;

PROMPT
PROMPT ORDERED BY WAIT_TIME_MILLI
select inst_id, event, wait_time_milli, wait_count

'log file switch completion','gc cr grant 2-way',
'gc buffer busy','gc current block 2-way')
or event like '%LGWR%' or event like '%LNS%'
order by 3,1,2 desc;

PROMPT
PROMPT REDO WRITE STATS
PROMPT
PROMPT "redo write time" in centiseconds (100 per second)

PROMPT ASH THRESHOLD...
PROMPT
PROMPT This will be the threshold in milliseconds for average log file sync
PROMPT times. This will be used for the next queries to look for the worst
PROMPT 'log file sync' minutes. Any minutes that have an average log file
PROMPT sync time greater than the threshold will be analyzed further.
