Oracle Exachk provides a lightweight and non-intrusive health check framework for the full stack of Oracle Exadata software and hardware components.

Oracle Exachk is a component of the Oracle Autonomous Health Framework, provided as a value add-on to your existing support contract. Typically, Exachk is installed on Oracle Exadata as part of the initial configuration performed by the Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant (OEDA). You can also access Exachk through My Oracle Support document 2550798.1 (Autonomous Health Framework [AHF] - Including Trace File Analyzer and Orachk/Exachk). There is no additional fee or license required to run Exachk.

Exachk focuses on holistic system evaluation, including comprehensive configuration checks for various system components. In summary, Oracle Exachk:

• Automates risk identification and proactive notification before your business is impacted

• Runs health checks based on critical and reoccurring problems

• Presents high-level reports about your system health risks and vulnerabilities to known issues

• Enables you to drill-down specific problems and understand their resolutions

• Enables you to schedule recurring health checks at regular intervals

• Sends email notifications and difference reports while running in daemon mode

• Runs in your environment with no need to send anything to Oracle

• Optionally integrates health check findings into Oracle Health Check Collections Manager and other tools of your choice
