The Automatic
Database Diagnostic Monitoring is enabled by default in Oracle database and it
is determined by the initialization parameter called STATISTICS_LEVEL. There
are 3 values allowed for this parameter – BASIC, ALL and TYPICAL. If the value
for the parameter is set as TYPICAL or
ALL then the ADDM is enabled for your database. If you set the value to
BASIC many of the oracle features will get disabled including ADDM and it is
strongly discouraged.
