5 Explore Data and Build Dashboards
Oracle IT Analytics lets you search and explore your IT operational data to find information specific to your needs, and to analyze the data by various dimensions. You can save important analyses as widgets, build dashboards, and present custom views for your stakeholders, such as line of business executives and analysts.
Data Explorer lets you perform custom and advanced analytical tasks that are beyond the possibilities offered to you by the other Oracle IT Analytics applications.
Through Data Explorer, you can:
-
Search and explore real-time and historical IT operational data, including IT assets, configuration metrics, events, and topologies, by setting your own criteria.
-
Conduct a time-series analysis and view the trend of resource utilization of your database and middleware targets, and forecast values for a specific time period.
-
Identify the top database and middleware targets by a specific attribute. For example, you can view data for the top 10 Oracle WebLogic Server servers by heap.
-
Conduct a categorical analysis to identify on which days your database and middleware targets have performed better or worse than on other days.
-
Analyze events by searching for data specific to critical events and alerts, grouped by targets or target types.
Note:
Oracle IT Analytics retains the raw data (the metric data that is collected and uploaded by agents on the target hosts) for eight days. Before purging the raw data, it rolls up the data into hourly and daily intervals. The rolled up data is then retained for 13 months to provide historical metric information. Data becomes inaccessible at the end of the 13-month period.
