Monitoring the Service
This section lists queries related to monitoring EPM Cloud environments.
How do I Monitor Service Performance?
Service Administrators can monitor performance through My Services, which provides historic performance metrics. Service Administrators can also view Activity Reports, which helps streamline application design by identifying calculation scripts and user requests that impact application performance. See Monitoring Your Service in Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud Getting Started with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud for Administrators.
Is There a Way to Performance Test an Environment Under Load?
Use the replay EPM Automate command to simulate system load to verify that user experience is acceptable when the service is under a specified load. For example, you can test the user experience on a test environment under a heavy load to ensure that the service will perform well after you migrate the application from the test environment to the production environment.
Also, see Preparing to Run the Replay Command in Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud Working with EPM Automate for Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud.
Is there an Activity Report in Narrative Reporting?
Activity Report and access logs are not available from within Narrative Reporting.
Activity Reports and access logs are generated and stored in Narrative Reporting environments. You can download them using the downloadFile EPM Automate command.
Additionally, you can generate a System Audit log (a CSV file) to identify changes to the service over a period of time. See Performing an Audit in Narrative Reporting Administering Narrative Reporting for detailed information.
How do I View Service Details?
Use My Services to view service status, uptime, and utilization data. Additionally, from My Services, you can access service console, environments, and the Oracle store.
See Viewing Service Details in My Services in Managing and Monitoring Oracle Cloud.
How Do I Monitor Notifications Related to Outages?
Use the My Services Notifications page to monitor ongoing service outages and planned service outages that Oracle schedules for service maintenance. You can filter and sort the list of notifications.
For more information, see Monitoring Notifications in Managing and Monitoring Oracle Cloud.
How Do I Ensure that Only Authorized Users can Access EPM Cloud Environments? How Can I Ensure that Users Can Only Connect Using Our Organization's VPN?
Use an allowlist or blocklist to control access to EPM Cloud environments. See these information sources:
- Setting Up Network Restricted Access in .Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud Getting Started with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud for Administrators.
- Managing Internet Protocol Allowlist and Blocklist Rules in Managing and Monitoring Oracle Cloud.
What are the Data Size Restrictions in EPM Cloud?
For information, see these topics in Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud Getting Started with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud for Administrators:
What is the Retention Limit for Files and Snapshots?
Files and snapshots that you create or upload to an environment are deleted after 60 days. The daily maintenance process monitors the environment and automatically removes snapshots older than 60 days. If the total size of all remaining snapshots exceeds 150 GB, it deletes snapshots created in the last 60 days but older than 48 hours, oldest first, until the total size of snapshots is less than 150 GB. The daily maintenance snapshot, irrespective of its size, is never deleted.
Business processes other than Narrative Reporting can use the deleteFile EPM Automate command to remove unnecessary files from an environment.
