Health Assessment Portal

Here are some key details about the new portal:

  • Health assessment rules are defined in a new Health Assessment Type entity. The product comes with some pre-defined rules and allows custom rules to be added as needed.
    • Each assessment type calculates an measured value and scores it as either Failure, Warning or Pass.
    • The calculation also provides a Percentage to Failure value that indicates how close the measured value from a failure score as a proactive alert mechanism.
    • A pass score is set to 0% and a failed score to 100%.
    • An assessment type may be associated with eligibility conditions like only in a production environment, only in cloud, or more.
    • An assessment type may be classified as critical or not.
    • An assessment type may belong to a category for reporting purposes.
    • Each assessment type includes rationale and remediation instructions for completeness.
    • An assessment type may be associated with an optional portal for reviewing specific details about an assessment score. This is an optional configuration and would only be used for complex rules as needed.
    • The owner of the assessment type can set it to inactive to deprecate its future use. You cannot inactivate a base rule.
  • An internal batch process periodically applies eligible rules and stores the calculated scores in a designated Health Assessment entity.
    • The batch process is scheduled on the cloud as an internal process. For on-premise installations, this would rely on the customer to schedule the batch process. This is similar to how product metrics are managed.
  • A Health Assessment Dashboard portal was introduced to provide a high level compliance summary.
    • You can mark certain product assessment types to be hidden from this dashboard display. These rules are still assessed and collected, but you may choose to view them or not on this dashboard.
    • You can drill into a Health Assessment portal for more information about a given rule over time. When applicable, you may also further navigate to a specific portal associated with the rule (if available).

Proactively highlighting potential issues assists in minimizing risks and costs by reporting on them as early as possible. This approach also leverages best practices based on proven strategies from other Oracle products to ensure consistency and efficiency.

Tips and considerations

Introducing custom health assessment types that are based on custom algorithms requires you to have access to configuration tool application services. For example, you need the ability to create scripts and algorithms.
