If the ASM manages audit trails or session data, the database writer may have hit a connection limit. The health checker attempted to write a "heartbeat" record and timed out.

| ID | Requirement | |----|--------------| | FR1 | System must track the state of each ASM health check item across runs | | FR2 | Detect difference between current_failures and previous_failures | | FR3 | If new_failures_count > 0 , trigger a notification | | FR4 | Include in alert: failure name, timestamp, component, severity (if available) | | FR5 | Suppress duplicate alerts for same failure unless it re-occurs after being resolved |

Appendix: Minimal quick runbook (steps to execute immediately)

SUCCESS: ALTER DISKGROUP... followed by immediate GMON dumping or failure notes.

By following the diagnostic steps, applying the appropriate fix, and implementing preventive measures like ASMFD and regular scrubbing, you can ensure that this alert remains a minor reminder—not a major incident.
