Utilization Impact Risk of OEM Cloud Control Agent on Monitored Systems

Oracle's implementation is designed to be a low risk deployment using scripts to ensure consistent deployments across all customer implementations. Furthermore, the implementation is validated for monitoring within Oracle test systems. Oracle makes no changes to customer applications or files outside of the steps described in the relevant sections on impacts on the environment above.

The table below outlines the utilization impact that OEM has on the monitored systems.

Overhead Impact of the Oracle Tools in the Environment
Metric
OEM
CPU Utilization
The OEM Agent uses from 0.02% to 1% of CPU utilization.
The agent may utilize more CPU cycles, depending on the number of processes or applications monitored.
Memory Utilization
The OEM Agent needs from 1GB to 2GB RAM to operate correctly.
The actual memory utilization of the agent varies depending on the number of processes or applications monitored.
Disk Space Utilization
The OEM agent requires at least 2GB of free disk space for the installation files.
After installation is complete, the installation files are removed. The installed OEM agent requires about 1GB of space initially. As the agent operates, disk space gradually increases up to 5GB.
To apply patches to the agent, 5GB of space is required in /tmp to download and extract the installer before updating the agent binaries.
Oracle Autonomous Health Framework (AHF) software requires 2GB of space in /opt and a minimum of 6GB (with a recommendation of 10GB) on /u01 to store the diagnostic bundles created by the software for configuration review and troubleshooting.
