This chapter describes how to monitor the middle tier using Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Applications Control (Fusion Applications Control) and Oracle Enterprise Manager (Cloud Control).
This chapter includes the following topics:
Section 12.2, "Monitoring and Viewing Performance Status of Oracle Fusion Middleware"
Section 12.5, "Performing Proactive Performance Monitoring with Cloud Control"
Section 12.6, "Tuning Middle Tiers for Oracle Fusion Applications"
The procedures referenced in the Oracle Fusion Middleware guides describe using Fusion Middleware Control. These procedures also apply to Fusion Applications Control.
Both Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Applications Control (Fusion Applications Control) and Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control (Cloud Control) automatically and continuously measure run-time performance. The performance metrics are automatically enabled; you do not need to set options or perform any extra configuration to collect them.
You can monitor the following aspects of the middle tier with this control:
Monitor the state and performance of the Oracle Fusion Applications products and applications and an Oracle Fusion Middleware targets by providing out-of-the-box performance metrics
Monitor CPU usage, heap usage, Work Manager, JMS servers, and JDBC and JTA usage for Oracle WebLogic Server
Monitor JVM performance in terms of heap versus non-heap usage, garbage collection, and threads performance
Monitor applications and web services deployed to an Oracle WebLogic Server
Monitor a wide range of application metrics for servlets, JSPs, and EJBs are available, as well as web services metrics for faults, invocations, and violations. Such metrics are accessible from a target's home page.
Access customizable performance summary pages to help administrators monitor performance and diagnose problems. These charts can be modified to display content that is relevant to your domain. A target or component might be added to the chart so that you can compare the performance information for two targets in one chart.
You can also monitor a specific set of metrics for performance tuning information. With Cloud Control, you can also view historical data. See Section 12.5 for more specific information about usage of Cloud Control.
Use the following sections for specifics on using Fusion Applications Control:
Section 12.2, "Monitoring and Viewing Performance Status of Oracle Fusion Middleware"
Section 12.5, "Performing Proactive Performance Monitoring with Cloud Control"
Use the following sections for specifics on using Cloud Control:
Monitoring the health of the underlying Oracle Fusion Middleware environment and ensuring that it performs optimally is an important task.

Information about the servers, both the Administration Server and the Managed Servers in the domain
Information about the clusters in the domain
Information about the deployments in the domain
This section contains the following topics:
Fusion Applications Control provides a Topology Viewer for the farm. The Topology Viewer is a graphical representation of routing relationships across components and elements of the farm. You can easily determine how requests are routed across components.
The Topology Viewer enables you to easily monitor your Oracle Fusion Applications environment. You can see which entities are up and which are down.
You can also print the topology or save it to a .png file.
To view the topology with Fusion Applications Control:
Click Topology.
The Topology Viewer is displayed in a separate window.
From the View menu, choose Routing: Group By Application to view the topology of applications or choose Routing: Group by Middleware to view the topology for the middleware.
To see information about a particular target, place your mouse over the target. To view additional information, click More. The following figure shows additional information for the LedgerApp target.
From the Options menu, you can save or print the image, expand or collapse all of the nodes, change the orientation of the topology to be left to right or top to bottom, or show and hide the routing navigator.
In addition, you can refresh the status and the metrics or update the topology. To refresh the status and metrics, click Refresh Target Status and Metrics. To update the topology shown in the viewer, click Recreate Topology. If a target has been added or deleted, the target list and relationships are updated. This option also updates the status and metrics.
With Topology Viewer, you can also:
Search for a target within the topology. This makes it easier to find a target if you have many targets. Enter the name in the Find box. The target is highlighted and the topology is repositioned so you can see the target if it was not previously visible in the viewing area.
You can also specify criteria for the search. From Find, choose the one or more types of Status or one or more of Target Type, or both.
View the targets by status. Choose Up, Down, or Unknown from the Target Status at the top of the page.
Navigate to the home page of a target. Right-click the target, and choose Home.
Hide or show the status or metrics. From the Annotations menu, choose Status or Metrics.
If you select Metrics, one key performance metric for the component is displayed. (You cannot change the metric that is displayed.)
View the routing relationships between components.
Perform operations directly on the target by right-clicking. The right-click target menu is displayed.
To change what is visible in the topology view, drag the shaded section in the navigator window, which is located in the bottom right.
Notes:
If you use Mozilla Firefox, when you click an entity in Topology Viewer to take you back to the main Fusion Applications Control window, focus is not returned to the main window. For example, if you right-click an entity and choose logs from menu, the focus remains on the Topology Viewer window. (If you go back to the main window, the Logs page is correctly displayed.)
To workaround this problem, make the following change in Firefox:
From the Tools menu, choose Options, and then Content. Click Advanced. In the Advanced JavaScript Settings dialog box, select Raise and lower windows.
If you use Internet Explorer, turn off the Always Open Popups in New Tab option.
See Section 11.11.

For information on locating specific metrics to monitor, see Section 12.4.4.1.
During installation, Oracle Fusion Applications automatically deploys each application to a Managed Server in a cluster. For each Managed Server in the cluster, there is an instance of the application on each Oracle WebLogic Server.
There are times when you want to monitor the system performance of the application on an individual server, and times when you want to monitor the overall performance of the application across all the servers in the cluster.
For example, normally, you would manage the overall performance of the application to determine if there are any performance issues affecting all users of the application, regardless of which instance users access. If you notice a performance problem, you can then drill down to a specific instance of the application to determine if the problem is affecting one or all of the application instances in the cluster. Cloud Control and Fusion Applications Control provides monitoring pages for both of these scenarios.

Managing applications and the underlying middleware technology can be difficult and IT organizations often have to rely on a variety of specialized tools. This can lead to inefficiency and may introduce complexities and risks.
Cloud Control enables you to discover middleware targets. To access these pages, see the following topic:
In addition to drilling down to specific targets for performance metrics, Oracle recommends the following best practices:
After you have added a middle tier target through discovery, you can view general information about the targets, including their status and availability on the Middleware page. You can select a specific type of target, such as Oracle WebLogic Server domain, to narrow the view. You then can drill down into each target to get further details like how the target is performing, where it is deployed, the version, location of its home directory, and so on.
You can also view the number of critical, warning, and error alerts generated for the past 24 hours. These alerts indicate that a particular metric condition has been encountered. For example, an alert is triggered when a metric threshold is reached. Using these details, you can drill down to investigate the target and the problem that triggered the alert.
You can also use Cloud Control to monitor performance metrics as a current real time value (30 seconds, 1 minute, or 5 minutes) or a previous value (past 24 hours, 7 days, or 31 days). The historical information is displayed as graphs and a table. By using graphs, you can easily watch for trends, and by using tables, you can examine details of past metric severity history.
Figure 12-1 shows the Middleware page for Oracle WebLogic Server domains in the Oracle Fusion Applications environment.
Figure 12-1 Middleware Target Home Page of Cloud Control
To access the Middleware target home page in Cloud Control:
From the Targets menu, choose Middleware.
From the Search area, click Advanced Search.
From the Type list, choose a specific target type to monitor, and then click Search. In Figure 12-1, the target selected is Oracle WebLogic Domain.
For more information about discovering and monitoring middleware targets, see the chapters in the "Managing Oracle Fusion Middleware" part in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Getting with Fusion Middleware Management.
Monitoring templates simplify the task of setting up monitoring for large numbers of targets by allowing you to specify the monitoring and policy settings once and applying them as often as needed. You can save, edit, and apply these templates across one or more targets or groups. A monitoring template is specified for a particular target type and can only be applied to targets of the same type. For example, you can configure a monitoring template for Oracle WebLogic Server domains.
To create a monitoring template from Cloud Control:
From the Enterprise menu, choose Monitoring > Monitoring Templates to access the Monitoring Templates main page.
Modify a pre-built monitoring template, or create a new template without any data from another template:
To modify a pre-build monitoring template:
In the Template Name field, enter Fusion Apps or FMW.
Click option Display Oracle provided templates and Oracle Certified templates.
Click Go.
From the table, select the template, and click Edit.
To create a new template, click Create.
Fill out the tabs accordingly.
In the Metric Threshold tab, select the metrics to add to the template. Use the following tables in the Oracle Fusion Applications Performance and Tuning Guide for tips on recommended metrics to add to the template:
Blackouts allow you to suspend collection of metrics on a target when performing scheduled maintenance on the target. Blacking out a target suspends monitoring on the target for the duration of the blackout. Blackouts are named entities that mainly consist of a list of targets that participate in the blackout and the schedule that defines when the blackout is in effect. Blackouts may be defined on a single target or on aggregate targets such as groups, hosts, systems, or web applications.
To create a blackout from Cloud Control:
From the Enterprise menu, choose Monitoring > Blackouts to access the Blackouts main page.
From the table, click Create.
Cloud Control displays a wizard page to guide you through the steps required to create a blackout. Click Help from any wizard page for more information on specific steps.
You can associate corrective actions with metrics whose alerts trigger them.
To register corrective actions for these notifications from Cloud Control. From the Setup menu, choose Notifications > Notification Methods access the Notifications Methods page.
See the "Notifications" chapter in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Administrator's Guide to complete the configuration.
One of the most challenging aspects of performance tuning is knowing where to begin. Start with the following documentation resources:
