− Oracle Management Repository
− Oracle
− mySQL
 Management Agents
− Oracle Management Service Agent (PBS)
− Remote Management Agent
22

22. Technical Overview 23

23. Architecture Overview 24

24.  Central Enterprise Manager
− One source of truth for all
− Data via agents
− Repository Persistant Store
 2 WebLogic Server Applications
− Console
− Provides UI and Target specific
management
− Platform Background Services
(PBS)
− A set of background services critical for
monitoring and management
Oracle Management Service (OMS) 25

25. Repository
 Most critical part of EM system
− Deploy with performance and availability in mind
 Persistant store of data collected from the managed targets
− Performance and availability metrics
− Configuration and compliance information
 Used to store a variety of EM configuration
− Users and privileges
− Monitoring settings
− Job definitions
26

26. Targets
 Components that are managed/monitored by
Cloud Control
 Hundreds out-of-te-box types
 Examples
− Host, Database, ASM, WebLogic Server, Fusion
Applications, Service Bus, Coherence, mySQL, …
− But also Oracle Home’s…etc.
27

27. Agents
 Collect monitoring and configuration data from the
targets and store locally in XML files
− Collected data uploaded at scheduled intervals to
Management Service using HTTP/HTTPS
− XML files are purged once data has been uploaded
 Execute tasks on behalf of Enterprise Manager
users
− Real time data collections, Jobs
− Deployment procedures

29. Focus
 Infrastructure
 Enterprise Monitoring
 Application Management
 Database Management
 Middleware Management
 Hardware and Virtualization Management
 Heterogeneous (Non-Oracle) Management
 Cloud Management
 Lifecycle Management
 Application Performance Management
 Application Quality Management
30

30. Centralized Management & Out-of-box Monitoring
 Manage multiple domains centrally
 Monitoring spans:
− Databases, Servers and Clusters
− Applications (servlets, JSPs, EJBs)
− Other Resources (JDBC connection pool,
data sources), ESB, Coherence, MySQL,
etc.
 Predefined metrics
− Performance and availability
− Real-time monitoring
− Historical monitoring for trending and
reporting
 Monitor all from one console
31

31. Event Monitoring
 Specify critical vs. warning thresholds for
metrics
 Various notification methods: email/page,
SNMP trap, OS command
 Notification rules and schedule for when
to receive alerts
 Corrective Actions: Start/stop Database,
OS Scripts, WLS, WLST scripts
 Predefined & user-defined monitoring
templates
 Be aware of availability & performance problems 24x7
32

32. Centralized Incident and Problem Management
 Centralized incident management
− View, manage, diagnose and resolve
incidents from one console
 Support for lifecycle operations
− Assign, acknowledge, prioritize, track
status, escalate, suppress
 “My Oracle Support” integration
 Integrated with Helpdesk Systems
− Out-of-box connectors for Remedy, HP
Service Center
33

33. Customizable Performance Summaries
 Specify time range from which to
display data
 Choose charts to be displayed
 Arrange order of charts
 Display data from multiple components
in single chart
 Display prior performance data
alongside current data
 Save customizations as named chart
set accessible in future
 Save baseline of current performance
data to be compared with future data
 Analyze and correlate performance data efficiently
34

34. Metric Extensions
 Next generation user-defined metrics
 Wizard guides you through process of creating custom metrics
 Re-use or (Shell) scripts, SQL, PL/SQL, WLS, ANT, Java, etc.
 Extend default monitoring to meet needs
35

35.  Increase efficiency and productivity
• Provides single dashboard with
complete visibility (e.g. incidents,
performance, compliance) across
multi-tier environments
• Supports all major target types, like
databases, OS; with specialized
regions for JVMs, Services, SLAs,
Coherence
• Regions can be customized and
personalized to display any relevant
metric
• Routing topology view displays all
target relationships
36Composite Management

36. Problem Analysis Flow
 Navigate from key metric
alerts into problem
analysis flow to correlate
targets
 Review performance
summaries for related
targets
 Review related metrics
 Expand and analyze
different timeframes for all
correlated targets
 Reduce problem resolution time
37

37. Diagnostics Advisor
 Diagnose problems with advisory
findings instead of only raw metrics
and configuration details
 Utilizes algorithms to provide findings
based on
− Various metrics
− Server, application and host
configuration properties
 Resolve problems immediately with
integrated configuration and lifecycle
management capabilities
Resolve problems more quickly with guided help
38

38. Diagnostic Snapshots
 Persist and maintain
snapshots of diagnostics
correlated with other
(middleware) metrics and
logs
 Export/Import snapshots and
share them with other users
or Oracle support
 Capture and analyze logs,
metrics together in single
packaged snapshot for
analysis at any point in future
 Correlate and import/export critical diagnostics
39

WebLogic and Middleware
log files from single console

messages to file
 Gain access to log files regardless of where they reside
40

40. Routing Topology Viewer

like Assembly Builder
 Supports Access rights for each
image/assembly
Centralized Software Library 42

patches and critical patch updates
across domain via Patch Plan
 Eliminate downtime by applying
patches in rolling mode (parallel
mode also supported)
 Rollback already applied patches
in cases where new problems
occur
 Automate application of patches
across managed servers
43

43. DBaaS Service Governance
 Create homogeneous
infrastructure of platform pools
capable of hosting standard
database services
 Define placement policies
 Define access control on
those pools
 Define quota based on CPU,
storage, number of databases,
etc and assign them to roles
 Define retirement policies, e.g.
retire after a month of
inactivity
44

44. DBaaS Service Catalog
• Create Service Template
 Capture gold image (from reference system) for the provisioning payload
 Define Deployment Procedure for the provisioning logic
• Grant the Service Template to specific users
