Next Steps: Defining Entities for Monitoring and Analysis

Software or hardware resources, as well as business objects whose properties, configuration, status, and performance are tracked and analyzed are known to Oracle Management Cloud as entities.

After you install agents, you must add the entities that you want to monitor.

Note:

Wait for a few minutes before using the newly installed cloud agent to add entities from the Add Entity page in the Oracle Management Cloud Administration console.

You use the Oracle Management Cloud agent command-line interface tool, omcli, to add the entities in your IT ecosystem to Oracle Management Cloud. The omcli add_entity command adds the entities to Oracle Management Cloud by reading the entity details from JSON-formatted files that you create and pass as parameters to the command.
