peek into inner mechanics of Oracle using bpftrace

Hi guys!

It's a pleasure to announce the next Oracle Beer Stammtisch.

Christoph Lutz from Swisscom will give the fabulous presentation he gave at the last SOUG Day in Winterthur.

Here's the description from the SOUG Day:

====================================================================

Troubleshooting and analyzing complex problem scenarios requires the use of appropriate tools. While modern BPF based
tracing tools have gained a lot of traction in many areas, they haven't been widely adopted by Oracle DBAs yet.
This presentation aims to fill that gap by demonstrating how to leverage bpftrace to peek into the inner mechanics of Oracle.
Using dynamic instrumentation, we will look at how to probe Oracle kernel functions and study introspection techniques to directly
read data from the Oracle SGA to examine and observe the behavior of session level activity, wait events and latches.

====================================================================

Looking forward to see you again!

Because of the limited space there's attendee limit.
