Monitoring rules, profiles, and plans detect components or attributes of a managed asset or resource that are not operating within specified parameters. A resource is a generic term for any resource managed through Enterprise Manager Ops Center, it can be an asset, a group, a network, or a library. An Enterprise Manager Ops Center administrator has permissions to edit and add monitoring rules and profiles.
The following are the main components of a complete monitoring configuration:
Monitoring Rules - Express alerting conditions. You can apply one or more rules to an asset in order to monitor the asset and raise an alert when the monitoring rule condition is met.
Monitoring Profiles - A set of monitoring rules targeted to a specific asset type. Default monitoring profiles contain a set of rules that are automatically applied. You can copy a profile and manually configure the rules in the profile.
Note:
For more information about monitoring profiles and rules, see the "Monitoring Profiles and Rules" topic in the Advanced User section in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center 11g documentation.
