2 Monitoring Agile Targets

Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control 10gR4 enables the monitoring of Agile PLM applications along with other Oracle and non-Oracle technologies through a single Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control console.

2.1 Key Benefits

It provides:

• Centralized, multi-tier, multi-instance Agile PLM monitoring.

• Discovery of Agile PLM servers and instances for each monitored SID.

• Comprehensive, efficient, and secure health status data collection.

• End-user experience monitoring for Agile PLM application modules.

• Agile PLM business service dashboards and performance trend reports.

Note: Use of this capability requires Agile PLM Plug-in for Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g. Use of other Oracle Enterprise Manager capabilities may require additional licenses

2.2 Prerequisites for Monitoring Agile Targets

After deploying Agile, perform the following steps to monitor an Agile target by using Enterprise Manager Grid Control:

• Install Enterprise Manager Grid Control with licenses.

• You must install EMGC 10.2.0.2.0 before you upgrade to 10.2.0.4.0.

• Name the queues OEM_AGENTS and OEM_METRICS.

• Install Enterprise Manager 10g R4 agent on the machine where you install the plug-in.

2.3 Agile Landscape Targets

Agile Landscape enables administrators to organize distributed targets for efficient and effective management and monitoring.

2.3.1 Adding an Agile Landscape

To add an Agile landscape:

1. Click the Targets tab, from the Enterprise Manager Console.

2. Click the Agile tab.

3. Click Add. The Add Agile Landscape page appears. Define values for all the parameters.

4. Click OK.

The progress page notifies you when Agile Landscape and its associated targets are created.

2.3.2 Removing Application Instances from an Existing Landscape

After creating an Agile Landscape and associated targets, you can manually remove individual application instances from that landscape. This, however, deletes the respective target information from the Enterprise Manager repository.

Note: Enterprise Manager does not monitor the target, once you delete an entry from the Enterprise Manager Repository.

Listed below are the two possible paths for manually removing application instances from an existing landscape:

To manually remove application instances from existing landscape - Path 1:

1. Navigate to All Targets tab.

2. Locate the application instances you want to delete.

3. Check the Select option.

4. Click Remove.

To manually remove application instances from existing landscape - Path 2:

2. Select Agile Landscape View.

3. Navigate to the enterprise you want to remove.

4. Check the Select option.

5. Click Remove.

Path 2 option removes the Agile server, targets, and all instances of the application.
