Cloud Control

The primary monitoring tool for Recovery Appliance administrators is the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control (Cloud Control) incident and event notification framework. The primary interface is the Recovery Appliance home page, which prominently displays warnings, alerts, and errors. The monitoring framework integrated with Cloud Control is an effective way of managing issues and tracking them until resolution.

Space management is a crucial part of administering the Recovery Appliance. To have sufficient time to accommodate storage demands, you must know when estimated storage needs are approaching the amount of total storage available. Cloud Control provides warnings and error messages regarding aggregate storage usage, providing ample time to make necessary changes.

Cloud Control enables you to customize settings to meet your management goals. For example, you can receive warnings if the space needed to meet the recovery window goal of a specific database is a user-specified percentage of its reserved space. You can also configure email alerts so that you receive immediate notification of issues without having to log in to the system.
