20 Monitoring Performance by Using Fusion Middleware Control

This chapter describes how to monitor Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 11g performance and shut down and start Oracle Adaptive Access Manager instances using Fusion Middleware Control.

20.1 Displaying Fusion Middleware Control

Fusion Middleware Control organizes a wide variety of performance data and administrative functions into distinct, Web-based home pages. The Fusion Middleware Control home pages make it easy to locate the most important monitoring data functions from a Web browser.

To display Fusion Middleware Control:

Enter the Fusion Middleware Control URL, which includes the name of the host and the administration port number assigned during the installation. The following shows the format of the URL:
```
http://hostname.domain:port/em
```
Enter the Oracle Fusion Middleware administrator user name and password and click Login.

The default user name for the administrator user is weblogic. This is the account you can use to log in to Fusion Middleware Control for the first time. The password is the one you supplied during the installation of Oracle Fusion Middleware.

The Fusion Middleware Control Login is shown in Figure 20-1.

20.2 Displaying Base Domain 11g Farm Page

When you first log in to Fusion Middleware Control, the Base Domain home page is displayed.

Fusion Middleware Control displays the target navigation pane on the left and the content pane on the right.

The farm home page is shown in Figure 20-2

Figure 20-2 Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Farm Home Page

Content Pane

The content pane displays the overall status of the Oracle Fusion Middleware environment and links to reference information.

From here, you can view

The status and target of the internal applications in the deployment.
The status, host, and CPU usage of the repository and server instances.
Resource information on concepts and tasks

Target Navigation Pane

The target navigation pane lists all of the targets in the farm in a navigation tree.

Oracle Adaptive Access Manager details in Fusion Middleware Control are divided into the following nodes within the navigation pane:

Application Deployments
WebLogic Domain
Identity and Access
Metadata Repositories

When you select a target, such as a Managed Server or a component, the target's home page is displayed in the content pane and that target's menu is displayed at the top of the page, in the context pane. For example, if you select a Managed Server, the WebLogic Server menu is displayed. You can also view the menu for a target by right-clicking the target in the navigation pane.

Farm Menu

Farm Menu in the upper left corner of the target navigation pane provides a list of operations that you can perform on the farm.

Figure 20-3 Farm Menu

Dynamic Menu

Dynamic Target Menu provides a list of operations that you can perform on the currently selected target. The menu that is displayed depends on the target you select. The menu for a specific target contains the same operations as those in the Right-Click Target Menu.

20.3 Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Cluster Home Page

To access the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Cluster Home page:

Log in to Fusion Middleware Control.
Expand the Identity and Access node.
Click the OAAM (cluster) node.

The Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Cluster Home page appears. Use this page to monitor the OAAM cluster.

From the Oracle Access Manager Cluster Home page, you can:

Monitor the OAAM cluster
View the status of the OAAM servers that are part of the OAAM cluster
View details of the database used by Oracle Adaptive Access Manager
Access general information about the OAAM cluster such as the name, version, Oracle Home, and domain home
Access the performance summary of the server instances in the cluster

Monitor the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager cluster

The Performance Overview section of the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Cluster Home page shows a graphical representation and a table view of the login statistics.

The data shown are for:

Number of successful logins during the last 5 minute collection interval
Number of logins failed during the last 5 minute collection interval

In the graphical representation, the x axis shows the time and the y axis shows the number of logins.

The performance overview is also available in tabular format when you click the Table View link at the bottom of the graph.

View the status of the servers that are part of the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager cluster

The Deployment section of the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Cluster Home page provides information on the statuses of the OAAM server instances.

You can view the following information:

Fields	Description
Instance Name	The name of the OAAM server instance. For example: oaam_server.
Status	The status of the OAAM server instance: Green Up Arrow indicates that the instance is running Red Down Arrow indicates that the instance is not running Clock indicates that the status information is currently unavailable.
Total Logins	The total number of logins attempted since startup.
Logins Successful	The total number of successful logins since startup
Logins Failed	The total number of failed logins since startup.

View details of the database used by Oracle Adaptive Access Manager

To view hostname, port, and service ID of the data repository, refer to the Data Store section. Oracle Adaptive Access Manager uses the RDBMS database as its data store.

Fields	Description
Hostname	The name of the server where the data store is located.
Port	The port on which the Listener is listening for Oracle connections
Service ID	The name of the database that Oracle Adaptive Access Manager is using.

Access general information about the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager

From the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Cluster Home page, you can access general information about the cluster and the datasource.

To view the target name, version, Oracle Home, and Domain home:

Click Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Cluster at the top of the home page to expand the dynamic menu.
Select General Information.

Access the Performance Summary for the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Cluster

To see a performance summary for insight into the current performance of the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager cluster:

Click Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Cluster at the top of the home page to expand the dynamic menu.
Click Performance Summary.

20.4 Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Server Home Page

The Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Server Home page displays a performance overview of the instance.

To access an Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Server Home page:

Log in to Fusion Middleware Control.
Expand the Identity and Access node.
Expand the OAAM (cluster) node.
Click an OAAM server node.

The Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Server Home page appears. From this page, you can:

View statistic summary for the OAAM server instance
View performance overview (graphical representation and table)
Access a List of Operations to perform

View statistic summary for the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager server instance

The OAAM Server Home Page displays a Performance Overview with key metrics.
