8.2.2 Incidents and Alerts
An incident is a unit containing a single, or closely correlated set of events that identify an issue that needs administrator attention. Although incidents can correspond to a single event, incidents more commonly correspond to groups of related events.
The Oracle Enterprise Manager provides various options to respond to Incidents. Administrators can be notified automatically when an alert triggers and can set up corrective actions to resolve an alert condition automatically.
- Setting Metric Alerts and Incidents for Extract and Replicat
- Setting Metric Alerts and Incidents for Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Agent
- Setting Incidents and Alerts for Oracle GoldenGate Target Availability
You need to set alerts on Target Availability of Oracle GoldenGate targets to get notified when there are any issues with these targets.
