New Release and now Open Sourced

VisualAWR has been an interesting project for me while at Oracle.  A great use case was for assessing customer DB workloads for health and capacity planning during Excite 20/20 engagements.  Since moving on to AWS, I see opportunities to use this tool for assessing workload sizing (CPU/Mem/Storage/IOPS) for migration the cloud.  Migration to cloud could mean lift-and-shift to RDS (Oracle flavor) or migration to other relational databases.  Both approaches will need to know historical resource consumption for sizing of infrastructure required to run a database in the cloud, which is where this tool comes in.

I have uploaded a new version which now allows Batch processing of AWRMiner files.  See download option to the right.

I have also opensourced this project on github:  https://github.com/sfurlong/visual-awr

Looking forward to continued collaboration with folks interested in this project.
