Terminology

  • An Association is a relationship between two targets. For example, if a host target uses and depends on a web server target, an association should be created between the web server and the host.

  • An Event is a significant occurrence on a managed target that typically indicates something has occurred outside normal operating conditions in an environment managed by Enterprise Manager. For example, events are raised when a target is detected to be down or when its performance metrics cross specified thresholds. For more details on events, refer to the Administering Cloud Control.

  • Groups are an efficient way to organize, manage, and query the targets in your environment. There are two types of groups: static groups and dynamic groups. Static groups contain a fixed list of targets managed by the user and dynamic groups have their list calculated dynamically based upon filters the user provides.

  • An Incident is a significant event or set of related significant events that need to be managed because it can potentially impact your business applications. These incidents typically need to be tracked, assigned to appropriate personnel, and resolved as quickly as possible. You perform these incident management operations through Incident Manager. For more details on incidents, refer to the Administering Cloud Control.

  • Metrics are how you evaluate your targets. Metrics are separated into two main categories: configuration metrics and performance metrics. Configuration metrics represent slowly changing data about a target such as the host operating system version. Performance metrics represent dynamic data about a target which may change rapidly such as the host CPU Utilization (%).

  • A Target represents a monitored resource such as a database, a host, or an application server. Enterprise Manager collects configuration, availability, and performance metrics for each target and defines associations between different targets to represent their relationships.

  • A Target Type describes the characteristics of the monitored resource.
