You need Oracle tuning pack/diagnostic pack licences if you want to use Grid control or Database control performance analyzer.
Statspack is free utility for performance monitoring and reporting and it's there since Oracle 8i. Lets start with Installation of Statspack in 11gR2 DB.
- You can create separate tablespace for Statspack objects or use existing tablespsace too.
PERFSTATS is the owner for Statspack repository and this user will be created automatically during Installation.
SQL> connect / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/spcreate
Choose the PERFSTAT user's password
-----------------------------------
Not specifying a password will result in the installation FAILING
Enter value for perfstat_password:
Choose the Default tablespace for the PERFSTAT user
---------------------------------------------------
Below is the list of online tablespaces in this database which can
store user data. Specifying the SYSTEM tablespace for the user's
default tablespace will result in the installation FAILING, as
using SYSTEM for performance data is not supported.
Choose the PERFSTAT users's default tablespace. This is the tablespace
in which the STATSPACK tables and indexes will be created.

Pressing <return> will result in STATSPACK's recommended default
tablespace (identified by *) being used.
Enter value for default_tablespace:
Using tablespace SYSAUX as PERFSTAT default tablespace.
Choose the Temporary tablespace for the PERFSTAT user
-----------------------------------------------------
Below is the list of online tablespaces in this database which can
store temporary data (e.g. for sort workareas). Specifying the SYSTEM
tablespace for the user's temporary tablespace will result in the
installation FAILING, as using SYSTEM for workareas is not supported.
Choose the PERFSTAT user's Temporary tablespace.
