Visualization Components for Monitoring

The Siebel CRM Observability - Monitoring solution includes usage of various dashboard visualization tools.

This solution offers the following options for metrics data visualization and dashboarding:

• Grafana
• Oracle APM Dashboard (OCI Application Performance Monitoring)
• Prometheus UI

Grafana

Grafana is a popular Open Source visualization and dashboarding tool that connects to Prometheus to retrieve metrics data. It enables you query, visualize, alert on, and explore your metrics easily. Grafana also provides users tools to turn time-series database (TSDB) data into insightful graphs and visualizations.

Note that Grafana server/service is not distributed by Oracle. JSONs of various sample dashboards are provided by Oracle, to be imported into Grafana that is managed by the user. Features described in this document were tested with Grafana version 9.4.3.

Oracle APM Dashboard

OCI Application Performance Monitoring (APM) Dashboard is a web-based interface to configure and manage Oracle OCI Monitoring that helps in creating dashboards, setting up alarms, and exporting metrics data. Few sample dashboards are provided from Oracle Siebel.

Prometheus UI

Prometheus UI is an expressions browser visual interface directly on Prometheus – the most important component in the offering. It's invaluable in the technical exploration of metrics and configuration checks and hence an essential tool for troubleshooting and ad-hoc analysis. Prometheus UI enables exploring and alerting based on metrics, executing queries and gain insights into the monitored systems' performance. It supports PromQL for advanced selection and aggregation of time series data and display in real time.
