28 Web Cache

You can use Oracle Enterprise Manager to view the overall status of OracleAS Web Cache. You can also use Enterprise Manager to view OracleAS Web Cache performance metrics that have been collected by the Oracle Agent.

Cache Performance

This metric serves as a container for the Cache Performance metrics.

Allocated Cache Memory (%)

The percentage of the maximum cache size that is allocated to cached objects. The maximum cache size is configured in the Resource Limits and Timeouts page of (Web Cache Home page > Administration tab > Web Cache> Resource Limits link).

Metric Summary

The following table shows how often the metric's value is collected and compared against the default thresholds. The 'Consecutive Number of Occurrences Preceding Notification' column indicates the consecutive number of times the comparison against thresholds should hold TRUE before an alert is generated.
