Understand Oracle Cloud Observability and Management Platform Stack Monitoring Service for PeopleSoft Applications

The Stack Monitoring services in Oracle Cloud Observability and Management Platform for PeopleSoft applications deliver essential insights into application health, including real-time performance tracking and out-of-box metrics. These services offer integrated visibility across your PeopleSoft stack, enabling efficient troubleshooting, performance optimization, and proactive issue resolution to ensure seamless and reliable operation of your enterprise applications.

Configure Your Environment

Before you can use the Stack Monitoring service, you must set up your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure environment to allow communication between the different components and services. This section explains the steps to set up Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for Stack Monitoring.

Note:

The full procedures for completing the steps in this topic are beyond the scope of this playbook. Please refer "Getting Started" in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation, which you can access from "Explore More", elsewhere in this playbook.
To properly configure your OCI envieronment, you need to complete these three steps:
  1. Create or Designate a Compartment to Use
    You can create a new compartment or use an existing compartment to install and configure the Stack Monitoring service. Stack Monitoring supports the following configurations to create a single-pane of glass for monitoring all resources:
    • All resources are deployed within the monitoring compartment.
    • Resources deployed in a compartment different than the monitoring compartment.
  2. Install Management Agents

    Next, you need to install the Management Agent, which is a prerequisite for using the Stack Monitoring service. You can learn more about the Management Agent in the following topic, "Learn About the Management Agent in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure".

  3. Enable the Stack Monitoring Service

    Finally, you need to enable the Stack Monitoring service, from the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console. Navigate to Stack Monitoring located under Observability and Management, Stack Monitoring. Select the compartment you want to monitor, and click Enable Stack Monitoring.

Learn About the Management Agent in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

The Management Agent in OCI is a lightweight software component that facilitates monitoring and management of on-premises resources and hybrid cloud environments. It securely connects these resources to OCI services such as Monitoring, Logging, and Operations Insights, enabling centralized visibility and control. As mentioned in the previous topic you need to set up this component to deploy stack monitoring.

The key Management Agent features are:
  • Monitoring: Provides detailed metrics and logs from on-premises resources to OCI Monitoring.
  • Logging: Sends log data from on-premises environments to OCI Logging for analysis and troubleshooting.
  • Operations Insights: Enables operational insights and automation for hybrid cloud environments.
  • Security: Ensures secure communication with OCI using encryption and authentication mechanisms.

See "Management Agent" in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation, which you can access from"Explore More".
