  3. Add Oracle Identity Manager

Add Oracle Identity Manager

You can add Oracle Identity Manager entities using the Add Entity UI or using the cloud agent command line interface (omcli) with the appropriate JSON files.

Step 1: Prepare Oracle Identity Manager for monitoring.

Prerequisites

Same credentials used to discover the WebLogic Domain.

Note:

Refresh of IDM targets is now supported. To refresh any IDM domain run omcli refresh_entity idm_domain.json

where the content of idm_domain.json is:
{ "entities":[
{
"name": "Idm Domain",
"type": "omc_weblogic_domain"
}
]}

Step 2: Decide how you want to add the Oracle Identity Manager.

You can add Oracle Identity Manager entities using one of two ways:

  • Add them from UI
  • Use the agent's omcli add_entity command with the appropriate JSON files

Adding Entities from the UI

  1. From the Management Cloud main menu, select Administration, Discovery, and then Add Entity. The Add Entity page displays.
  2. Select the Oracle Identity Manager Entity Type.
  3. Enter the following UI properties.
    Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) UI Fields
    • Entity Name: Name of this entity displayed in the Oracle Management Cloud console.
    • Port: Port used for the WebLogic Admin Server(Console)
    • Protocol: Protocol used for the WebLogic Server. For example: t3
    • Administration Server Host: Fully-qualified WebLogic Admin Server Host Name where the WebLogic Admin Server is installed.
    • Discover Coherence: Discover Oracle Coherence.
    • Cloud Agent: Cloud agent monitoring the host where OIM is installed.

    Monitoring Credentials (WebLogic Server Credentials)

    • Username: WebLogic Domain Entity User Name.
    • Password: WebLogic Domain Entity Password.

See Add Entities from the Console for detailed instructions on using the Add Entity UI.

Using omcli and the Appropriate JSON Files

  1. Download and extract the required JSON file(s) from the master JSON zip file. See the table below for the specific JSON files you'll need.
  2. Edit the file(s) and specify the requisite properties shown below.
    Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) JSON Files and Properties

    Definition File: omc_weblogic_domian.json

    • displayName: WebLogic Domain Entity Display Name that is displayed in the Infrastructure Monitoring UI time zone.
    • Region: Time Zone (tz database time zones). For example: America/New_York.
    • port: Port used for the WebLogic Admin Server(Console)
    • protocol: Protocol used for the WebLogic Server. For example: t3
    • admin_server_host: Fully-qualified WebLogic Admin Server Host Name where the WebLogic Admin Server is installed.

    Credential File: omc_weblogic_domain_creds.json

    • user_name: WebLogic Domain Entity User Name.
    • password: WebLogic Domain Entity Password.
  3. Add the entity using omcli.
    omcli add_entity agent DEFINITION_FILE [-credential_file CREDENTIAL_FILE [-encryption_method_gpg]]
  4. Verify the status of the newly added entity. 
    omcli status_entity agent DEFINITION_FILE

See step 4. Adding Entities to Your Service of Add Entities Using JSON Files for more information.

Step 3: (Optional but recommended) Set up alerts.

To enable lights-out monitoring, you can set up alert rules to generate alerts and send notifications if your entities have performance issues.

See Set Up Alert Rules and Set Up Alert Thresholds and Notifications.
