V$MUTEX_SLEEP_HISTORY

V$MUTEX_SLEEP_HISTORY displays time-series data. Each row in this view is for a specific time, mutex type, location, requesting session and blocking session combination. That is, it shows data related to a specific session (requesting session) that slept while requesting a specific mutex type and location, because it was being held by a specific blocking session. The data in this view is contained within a circular buffer, with the most recent sleeps shown.
