About Alert Thresholds and Notifications

You can set alert rule conditions and specify your preference for receiving notifications when alerts are triggered. To set up alert rules for your enterprise, you must log in to the services as an Oracle Management Cloud Administrator user.

By default, the following alert rules are available for your use:

• Exadata IOPS Capacity Headroom Rule
• Exadata Storage Capacity Headroom Rule
• Host CPU Capacity Headroom Rule
• Host Memory Capacity Headroom Rule

You receive these alerts as early warnings that inform you about capacity utilization of your host resource types such as Exadata IOPS, Exadata storage, host CPU and host memory. You can then take remedial measures to manage capacity, such as move the workload to another host, add more capacity, or analyze the reason for increased resource usage and resolve the issue.

The alerts appear both on applications such as Host Resource Analytics and on the Oracle Management Cloud console.
