Monitoring

The Monitoring utility is an internal custom plug-in that leverages Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) to monitor the Argus application.

What does it do?

Oracle uses a wide variety of tools to monitor the Cloud Service environment at every layer of the Oracle technical stack. Monitoring collects, compiles, and provides information about the operational state, performance, and configuration of the Oracle applications running in the environment.

The Monitoring utility scans the Argus Web and Argus Transaction servers, using a large number of metrics:
