Active Session History (ASH)

Good Day Guys,
We installed Oracle Database 12c in our production environment, recently I found the following statement in database alertlog.
   
Active Session History (ASH) performed an emergency flush. This may mean that ASH is undersized.
If emergency flushes are a recurring issue, you may consider increasing ASH size by setting the value of _ASH_SIZE to a sufficiently large value.
Currently, ASH size is 16777216 bytes. Both ASH size and the total number of emergency flushes since instance startup can be monitored by running the following query:

select total_size,awr_flush_emergency_count from v$ash_info;

By running the said query it shows the following result, now my question is how to adjust ASH size? does it gives big impact on the database performance?

Howdy, Stranger!
