Use the Exalogic Elastic Cloud Dashboard to view status information about software and hardware targets in the Exalogic Elastic Cloud:
To display and use the Exalogic Elastic Cloud Dashboard, follow these steps:
Use the Software tab on the Exalogic Elastic Cloud Dashboard to display status information including alerts and key performance metrics of the following targets in the Exalogic Elastic Cloud:
Application Deployments - see Viewing Application Deployments in the Exalogic Elastic Cloud Target
WebLogic Domains - see Viewing WebLogic Domains Hosted on the Exalogic Elastic Cloud Target
Coherence Clusters - see Viewing Coherence Cluster Targets
Hosts - see Viewing Host Targets on the Exalogic Elastic Cloud Target
SOA
OTD
Note:
See Deploying the Management Agent for Servers for details to deploy the Management Agent to enable the Software tab.
The Software tab (as show in Figure 5-1) displays an Incident section in the table for each element, such as Application Deployments or WebLogic Domains, that shows alerts on which you can drill down for more information.
Figure 5-1 Exalogic Dashboard - Software Tab
You can also use the Software tab to view the alarms that are generated in Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center for an Exalogic Elastic Cloud system as incidents for an Exalogic system target. The Software tab displays alarms and incidents generated for Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center as incidents in Cloud Control for an Exalogic System target so that you can view all the issues from both the systems at one place. This allows you to use the existing integration between Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control and the ticketing system to manage the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center incidents.
The Software tab displays large numbers of software targets that are members of the Exalogic system. You can use the inter-region filtering option to conduct a page level search. For example, if the search is performed for an Oracle WebLogic Domain, the Applications region is also filtered to show all the applications deployed on the WebLogic servers that are members of the searched WebLogic domain. Similarly the Host region is filtered to show hosts that are hosting the WebLogic servers that are part of the searched WebLogic domain.
You can also use the Exalogic Elastic Cloud Dashboard page to access the Hardware tab (as shown in Figure 5-2)where you can view information about the hardware and infrastructure of the Exalogic Elastic Cloud. You can view information such as Temperature (by turning on the Temperature option at the top of the Exalogic Schematic) and Status, as well as a Hardware Schematic depicting the current state of the hardware.
Figure 5-2 Exalogic Dashboard - Hardware Tab
The Hardware tab displays the number of hardware units in each category along with their status in the Overview section. It also shows the Incidents associated with the hardware. The Exalogic Hardware schematic shows the position of each hardware component on the rack. You can use the Incidents section to monitor hardware issues that arise and then drill down to the Incident Manager page by clicking the Incident Summary for more details about the incident.
Use Enterprise Manager Cloud Control to visualize relationships among Exalogic software and hardware components. To see the routing topology among these components, follow these steps:
You can analyze the impact of component failures in an Exalogic environment by following these steps:
