Service configurations can be used to customize how Ops Insights behaves and what experience can be obtained on applications like Capacity Planning, filtering experience, and more; these can be found by navigating to Observability & Management, then Ops Insights, select Administration and click on Service configurations. When setting up configuration values, these can be set at the compartment level, or set at the root compartment level to allow all the compartments to apply those values.

• EM property to OCI tag mapping: Allows you to override the tag keys that get applied to Enterprise Manager (EM) resources
• OPSI tag filters: These are filters that can be created and will be visible along with other Ops Insights out-of-box filter

EM property to OCI tag mapping

Given the similarities between Enterprise Manager target properties and OCI tags, Ops Insights can automatically tag Enterprise Manager based Ops Insights resources with their respective global target properties and user-defined target properties as free-form tags. However, the target property keys may not be exactly the keys desired for the free-form tag key; Ops Insights Service Configurations allows mapping the EM property keys to the desired free-form tag key.

Note

For more information on user defined target properties see MOS note 2778043.1.

Figure 8-1 EM Property to OCI Tag Mapping

1. Within Service configurations click on EM property to OCI tag mapping
2. Enter the Enterprise Manager property key under EM Property.
3. Enter the free-form tag equivalent of your choosing under Tag Key.
   Note
   
   User defined target properties will have the format udtp_1.
4. To add an additional tag, click on New tag.
   Note
   
   Up to 5 tag keys are allowed.
5. Once all desired tags have been entered, click Save changes.

Remove and delete custom tag key values

To remove any custom tag key values and leave the configuration with no values, not allowing any parent or root inheritance to be applied select Clear configuration values.

To delete any custom tag key values, removing all custom values and leave the configuration with the default values, allowing any parent or root inheritance to be applied select Delete Configuration values.

OPSI tag filters

Ops Insights allows the creation of out-of-the-box tag filters, upgrading the OCI tag filter experience. These filters are compartment specific, unless added at the root compartment level. By creating a simple configuration, you can choose up to 15 tag keys (either defined tags or free-form tags) which you would like to become first class filters. To configure new out-of-box filters:

Figure 8-2 OPSI Tag Filters

1. Within Service configurations click on OPSI tag filters
2. Add defined and/or free-form tags:
   1. To add a defined tag, select the Tag namespace, Tag key, and specify a Filter label which will appear within the application user interfaces.
   2. To add a free-form tag, select None (free-form tag), Tag key, and specify a Filter label which will appear within the application user interfaces.
3. To add a new filter, click on New filter.
   Note
   
   Up to 15 filters are allowed to be added
4. Once all desired tags have been entered, click Save changes.

Remove and delete custom tag filter values

To remove any custom tag filter values and leave the configuration with no values, not allowing any parent or root inheritance to be applied select Clear configuration values.

To delete any custom tag filter values, removing all custom values and leave the configuration with the default values, allowing any parent or root inheritance to be applied select Delete Configuration values.

Use tags by filtering and grouping

Once the out-of-box tag filters are configured, they will appear within Capacity Planning for databases and hosts, as well as within Exadata Insights, allowing for convenient filtering and grouping options.
