Discover Autonomous Databases Using the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console

Autonomous Databases are treated as non-host targets in Oracle Enterprise Manager and are discovered manually using the declarative process.

1. From the Setup drop-down list, select Add Target, and then select Add Targets Manually.
2. On the Add Targets Manually page, click Add Target Declaratively on the Add Non-Host Targets Using Declarative Process tile.
3. In the Add Target Declaratively dialog box, select the host on which the agent that you are using to discover the Autonomous Database is installed and running.
4. In the Target Type field, enter and select Autonomous Transaction Processing Database, and click Add.
   Oracle Enterprise Manager discovers this target type on the host you selected in the previous step.
5. On the Add Database Instance: Properties page, specify the following monitoring details:
   1. Enter a name to identify the Autonomous Database target in the Target Name field.
   2. Upload the client credentials wallet .zip file that contains the credentials to access data in your Autonomous Database.
      After you upload the client credentials wallet .zip file, the Service Name, Monitoring Username, Monitoring Password, Role, and Connection Descriptor fields are automatically populated.

      Note that you can change the Service Name value, however it is recommended that you keep the default value, <dbname>_tp.

   3. Enter the monitoring (adbsnmp) password. Note that if you are a first time user, you must enter a new password to reset it and unlock the adbsnmp account. See About User Accounts.

After you have discovered the Autonomous Database in Oracle Enterprise Manager, you can verify if the discovery was successful by clicking the Targets drop-down list > Databases option. The Autonomous Database you discovered should be listed on the Databases page.
