An automated rotation cycle failed, leaving the secret in a broken state or causing a mismatch with the target database. Step-by-Step Diagnostic Framework
Fix: Clear out old UCS files or decrease the log storage period in your logging profile. Use df -h in the CLI to verify space. 3. ASM Policy Synchronization
If only one new failure exists, this yields exactly one row with actionable details. asm health checker found 1 new failures
Heavy traffic causing the ASM engine to respond slowly to the health probe.
Note the , Disk Name , and the specific OS Error Codes ( osderr ) provided in the trace. 2. Verify Diskgroup and Disk Statuses An automated rotation cycle failed, leaving the secret
If your monitoring dashboard flags this error, follow these structured steps to isolate and fix the root problem:
A single "1 new failure" is rarely a crisis, but escalate if: Note the , Disk Name , and the
If you are preparing for Oracle certification, understanding the nuances of ASM health checks and their outputs is often a key exam topic, highlighting its importance in the skillset of any serious Oracle DBA.
Introduction The terse message “asm health checker found 1 new failures” appears straightforward but carries significant operational weight: it signals that an ASM (Automatic Storage Management, or a similarly named subsystem) health-check routine has detected a failure. Whether that ASM is Oracle ASM, a cloud Autoscaling/Service Mesh monitor, or a custom “Application Service Monitor,” the phrasing implies an automated health-scan discovered one additional fault relative to its prior baseline. This essay examines the message’s possible meanings, root causes, investigative approach, risk implications, and systematic remediation and prevention strategies. The aim is to move from alarm to actionable resolution, and from reactive fixes to durable system hardening.
