Using Monitoring Profiles and Rules

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.
