Oracle Cloud Observability and Management Platform

Application Performance Monitoring

Application Performance Monitoring provides observability capabilities for end-to-end visibility and diagnosis across the entire IT environment. It’s a centerpiece of Oracle’s integrated observability and management solution. Using distributed transaction tracing, it connects user experiences with underlying technology to automate problem identification and diagnosis with a business-centric approach.

Features

• Compatible with OpenTracing and OpenMetrics for distributed tracing
• Combines end user monitoring with synthetic monitoring for complete end-to-end insights
• Ingests telemetry from microservices deployed in Kubernetes or Docker containers
• Service diagnostics and transaction execution analysis with Trace Explorer

Database Management

Oracle delivers key features of Oracle Enterprise Manager and more in this cloud service to enable DBAs to use the features they know and love without software deployment overhead.

Features

• Use Fleet monitoring and management of Oracle databases across on-premises and cloud deployments
• Simplify troubleshooting and ensure quicker resolution of performance bottlenecks with performance diagnostics
• Proactively detect and identify the root cause of database performance issues using advanced management and administration features
• Optimize resources with database administration tools for simplified management of usage, configurations, users

Logging

Logging enables easy ingest of log data and analysis to diagnose issues.

Features

• Quickly search and discover logs
• Use log rules to take action in near real time
• Integrate with Oracle Streaming, Monitoring, Functions, and Notifications
• Based on the CloudEvents standard by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)
• Uses CNCF’s Fluentd to ingest logs from hundreds of sources

Logging Analytics

Logging Analytics is a machine learning-based cloud solution that monitors, aggregates, indexes, and analyzes all log data from customers’ on-premises and multicloud environments. It enables users to search, explore, and correlate this data to troubleshoot problems faster, derive operational insights, and make better decisions.

Features

• Monitor cloud logs or any other multicloud log by using the 250+ out of the box parses
• Rapidly troubleshoot issues with smart, machine learning-based clustering and pattern recognition
• Find the “needle in the haystack” among millions of rows of logs in a couple of clicks

Monitoring

Monitoring enables users to gain insights on cloud infrastructure and workloads with out-of-the-box metrics for health and performance. Users can configure alarms with thresholds to detect and respond to infrastructure and application anomalies.

Features

• Ease of use with real-time, out-of-the-box metrics
• Flexible configuration of alarms
• Ability to receive alarms via third-party apps, email, and more, and take remedial action via Functions
• Monitoring Query Language (MQL) for deeper insights
• Support for CLI, SDK, Console, and Grafana plugins
• Free allocations of several hundred million data points

Notifications

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Notifications is a highly available, low-latency publish/subscribe (pub/sub) service that sends alerts and messages to Oracle Functions, email, and message delivery partners, including Slack and PagerDuty.

Features

• Get notified when Oracle Events are triggered
• Get notified when alarms are breached
• Execute serverless Oracle Functions in response
• Ensure message security with Oracle Identity Management
• Get started with Console, CLI, or REST API
• Leverage Oracle Cloud Free Tier and pay-per-message delivery

Operations Insights

Operations Insights empowers IT operations staff to optimize for performance by quickly analyzing performance patterns over time. Performance issues due to seasonal demand as well as slowly degrading performance issues can be avoided using long-term resource and capacity usage analysis for both on-premises and cloud systems.

Features

• Use capacity planning to predict capacity utilization issues with daily forecasting
• Quickly identify the largest, most utilized, and fastest growing databases
• Use automated insights of SQL performance history to proactively identify SQL issues

Resource Manager

Terraform-based cloud infrastructure automation

With Resource Manager, IT staff can easily and reliably deploy and manage Oracle Cloud resources using this infrastructure-as-code service. They can use an unmodified, open source codebase that simplifies migrations from and to other environments.

Features

• Terraform as a service
• Open-source–based; no lock-in
• Support for API, CLI, SDK, and console
• Deep integration with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
• Easily manage state files and improve collaboration

Service Connector Hub

Service Connector Hub is a free, managed service that moves data between Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services. Unlike competing cloud offerings, Service Connector Hub provides a central place for describing, executing, and monitoring data movements between services such as Logging, Object Storage, Streaming, and Monitoring. It can also trigger Functions for lightweight data processing and Notifications for alerting.

Features

• Single pane of glass to manage and monitor all data movement
• Easy to setup Service Connectors to move data to Object Storage, Streaming, Monitoring, or trigger Functions and Notifications without writing code.
• Seamless integration with third-party services
• Filters for moving data that govern data movement between source and destination services

Enterprise Manager

Enterprise Manager provides comprehensive monitoring and management for Oracle Applications, Middleware, Database, and Engineered Systems deployed in hybrid clouds. With features to help automate operations, users can harden databases for improved security and eliminate manual effort. Built on an extensible platform, Enterprise Manager enables users to manage mission-critical operations at hyperscale.

• Hybrid cloud management: Monitor, manage, and move data across the entire IT estate—on-premises and in the cloud

• Operations automation: Automate and modernize key management tasks

• Extensibility: Supports open standards to allow interoperability with third-party ecosystems

• Blog - Enterprise Manager Best Practices
• Demonstration series
• Enterprise Manager documentation
• Enterprise Manager Training and Certification
• Install and configuration best practices
• Enterprise Manager downloads
• Enterprise Manager Deep Dive Webinar and LiveLabs Workshop Series
