License High Water Mark in Alert Log

The message was originally intended to let you know the maximum number of users sessions were used between bounces so that you could check this against how many sessions you were licensed for.

[root@localhost ~]# cat /u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/orcl/orcl/trace/alert_orcl.log |grep high
License high water mark = 169

You can query the V$LICENSE data dictionary view for the high water mark, it is a sessions_highwater column. Also, the current limits for all of the license settings, the current number of sessions, and the maximum number of concurrent sessions for the instance can be queried in V$LICENSE.

[oracle@localhost ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdba
