Use Thresholds and Compliance to Analyze Incidents

Thresholds and compliance provide a method to perform incident management, provided you have performed the set up in advance. For example, if an issue is not corresponding to an incident on the dashboard, but you suspect a memory issue:

  1. Set a threshold for Component Memory Usage using the instructions provided in the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Administrator's Guide.

  2. If the timing of the threshold incident correlates with the reported issue, try increasing the memory allocated to the component.

  3. If the timings do not correlate, you have established that the issue is probably not memory related and you can develop a different theory and set a new threshold and repeat the process.
