Monitoring Hosts

As a host administrator, you must have a grasp of how your host is functioning. Host monitoring can enable you to answer such questions as:

  • Is host swapping occurring?

  • Is the filesystem becoming full?

  • Is the CPU reaching maximum capacity?

  • Are the resources being used efficiently?

  • What is the best way to monitor multiple hosts?

  • How can I proactively schedule and purchase needed resources?

The answers to these questions are key for day to day monitoring activities and are available on the host monitoring pages explained in this chapter.

Note: This chapter explains many of the metrics available in Enterprise Manager, however it is not an exhaustive list. See the Oracle® Enterprise Manager Framework, Host, and Services Metric Reference Manual for a full description of all the host metrics available.
