If database server CPU usage is showing 100%, or high 90%, DBA needs to find out which session is hogging the CPU(s) and
take appropriate action.
I will explain in the following that how can we find out the session(s) which are excessively using CPU.
v$statname and v$sesstat dictionary view contains different metrics values, and in this example we will
be checking values of 2 metrics highlighted in red bellow.
These metrics would help to find out CPU usage by the sessions.
SQL> set linesize 150
col name format a70
select statistic#,name
from v$statname
where upper(name) like '%CPU%';
STATISTIC# NAME
---------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
0 OS CPU Qt wait time
10 recursive cpu usage
16 CPU used when call started
17 CPU used by this session
61 IPC CPU used by this session
64 global enqueue CPU used by this session
229 gc CPU used by this session
248 cell physical IO bytes sent directly to DB node to balance CPU
581 parse time cpu
9 rows selected.
STATISTIC# NAME
---------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
0 OS CPU Qt wait time
10 recursive cpu usage
18 CPU used when call started
19 CPU used by this session
77 IPC CPU used by this session
80 global enqueue CPU used by this session
253 gc CPU used by this session
275 cell physical IO bytes sent directly to DB node to balance CPU
622 parse time cpu
9 rows selected.
If we want to check which session is top consumer of the CPU currently, we can use following script to find it out.

Script for 12c and above
Column CON_ID is added in the script to list the container id where sessions are connected. If CON_ID is 0, it would mean that this is an internal process/session. If value is 1, it would mean that this session is from container database. Any value other than 0 or 1 would represent a pluggable database sessions. Check v$containers to match container ID with your pluggable database.

LOGON_SECS column shows total time in seconds this session is connected to the database.
SESS_CPU_SECS columns shows number of seconds this session has spent using CPU.
LAST_CPU_SECS column shows the CPU taken by last execution call ¨C a single SQL may call CPU several times during its execution.
PERCENT column shows the percent of time this session has spent using CPU since this session has connect to the database.
Points to note
While on CPU, LAST_CPU_SECS would show zero (session status would be ACTIVE). During execution of SQL(s), session may be switching between CPU and IO - and hence we can see value changing under SESS_CPU_SECS and LAST_CPU_SECS columns as soon as session switches from CPU to IO.
If a session is on CPU, status would be ACTIVE and SESS_CPU_SECS would be showing last value captured for this session, and LAST_CPU_DECS would be 0.
If a session is on IO, status would be ACTIVE and SESS_CPU_SECS would be showing total seconds of CPU taken by the session until now.
LAST_CPU_SECS would show CPU seconds taken during last call to the CPU. I have also seen value of zero under this column even if session is not ACTIVE. I can't figure it out why, but most important thing is total time of CPU taken by the session which is under SESS_CPU_SECS.
See the following example where I have used ORDER BY SESS_CPU_SECS to display sessions which are at the top CPU consumption since log in.
If you see session bellow highlighted in red, it is connected to the database for 799 seconds
and out of which it has spent 260 seconds on CPU which accounts to 32.55 percent of total session time.
In real time scenario, if you see a session spending huge amount time on CPU, have a look at the SQL(s) it is executing (last column showing SQL_ID) and investigate further.
You can modify this script to ?°ORDER BY PERCENT?± to see which session has spent most of its connected time on CPU.
