8.2.4 Metric Data

Metric data refers to the collection of data that changes frequently. You can create alerts on the metric data. Oracle GoldenGate delivers predefined metric types and default collection times for each target type.

To view the metric data for a target, click the Target drop-down, select Monitoring, and then click All Metrics.

For more information on the metric data specific to targets, see Supported Target Types. The metric data collected is saved to the Management Repository and is compared to the predefined thresholds for each target. If a threshold is reached, then the system generates an alert. The Incidents are displayed on each of the target's homepage.

• Enabling/Disabling Metrics
  You can view all the Metrics from the Metrics and Collection Settings page. By default, except the Log Event metric, the rest of the collection metrics are enabled.
