Enable Monitoring

Enable the Enterprise Edition license to begin using Oracle Analytics Cloud and Database Resource Analytics. After the license is enabled, add the entities you want to monitor to your service.

Enable the Enterprise Edition License

Oracle Management Cloud offerings are categorized and available in different license editions, including the Enterprise Edition. Oracle Management Cloud – Enterprise Edition – Government is a variation of the Enterprise Edition model that is specifically designed for national and local governments.

The Oracle Management Cloud – Enterprise Edition and Oracle Management Cloud – Enterprise Edition – Government offer the following:
  • Oracle Application Performance Monitoring: Provides a platform for monitoring and managing applications.

  • Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring: Monitors the status and health of the entire IT infrastructure from a single platform and alerts administrators about issues.

  • Oracle Orchestration: Automates cloud and on-premises infrastructure and executes tasks by calling REST API or third-party automation framework.

  • Oracle IT Analytics: Provides a 360-degree insight into the performance, availability, and capacity of applications and infrastructure investments.

In the non-government model, you can select one or more license editions, based on your business requirements. In the Government Subscription Model, you can only enable the license editions that you subscribe to. For example, if you subscribed to Oracle Management Cloud – Enterprise Edition – Government, then you can only enable this license edition and the offerings it provides.

Enable Oracle Management Cloud - Enterprise Edition on both the Host (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure system) and the database.

Add Entities for Monitoring

To monitor various entities, such as databases, you need to first add them to Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring. Add entities to your service to make Cloud agents aware of the entities.

When adding an entity from the Oracle Management Cloudconsole, the entity-specific properties are submitted as a discovery job.

Wait five minutes after a Cloud agent installation to allow time for the agent configuration information to become available in the user interface.

  1. From the Management Cloud console navigation pane, click Administration, then click Discovery, and then click Add Entity.
    The Add Entity page is displayed.
  2. Select the Entity Type.
    Property and monitoring credential fields specific to the selected entity type are displayed.
  3. Complete the required fields for your entity type.
    The default Job Name is the entity type and timestamp.
  4. (Optional) Add tags to define additional relationships between entities.
    Tags help you to search and group the entities in Oracle Management Cloud. For example, you may want to use the same tag for all entities that are physically in the same location, or entities that are part of the same custom logical group. The Tag all members option applies to composite entities and allows you to specify the same tag to all members discovered under this entity
  5. Click Add Entity.
