After deploying the Enterprise Manager plug-in, there are a number of tasks that must be completed before you can begin to use the plug-in to monitor your processes. This section shows you how to complete these tasks.
You must perform the following steps to create the Oracle Wallet and to add the password that the Oracle Management agent uses to connect to the Oracle GoldenGate agent to receive metric values.
To create the Oracle Wallet:
You must configure your Oracle GoldenGate instance to work with Oracle Enterprise Manager by setting property values for hosts, ports, and monitoring type.
To configure monitoring for Oracle Enterprise Manager:
OGG_AGENT_ORA_HOME
directorycfg/Config.properties
file:
This topic shows you how to start your Oracle GoldenGate and the monitor or JAgent agent using GGSCI commands.
For more details see, Oracle GoldenGate GGSCI Commands.
This topic shows you how to create SSH Key named credentials.
This topic shows you how to set the preferred credentials on all agents where you want to deploy Enterprise Manager Plug-In for Oracle GoldenGate.
To set the preferred credentials:
This topic explains the monitoring of High Availability features for Oracle GoldenGate Management Pack. For the High Availability feature to properly function with Oracle GoldenGate plug-in, virtual IP (not the physical IP) of the Oracle GoldenGate host must be provided at the time of Oracle GoldenGate target discovery.
There can be two scenarios where High Availability is required:
Oracle GoldenGate instance is failed over from one node to another in the cluster: In this scenario, the existing Master Agent continues monitoring the Oracle GoldenGate instance in a seamless manner and the Host Name parameter oin the Oracle GoldenGate Manager page displays the physical host name of the new node.
Current Master Agent stops functioning: In this scenario, the EM Agents that are currently running, must be marked as Slave for this Oracle GoldenGate instance. When the current Master Agent stops functioning, one of the Slave agents is assigned as Master for the Oracle GoldenGate instance, and monitoring continues.
This procedure uses both the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control portal and a console connection.
Before verifying and validating the Enterprise Manager Plug-In for Oracle GoldenGate, you must promote the GoldenGate target that is found during auto-discovery.
For more details, see Discovering, Promoting, and Adding Targets.
After waiting a few minutes for the Enterprise Manager Plug-In for Oracle GoldenGate to start collecting data, use these steps to verify and validate that Enterprise Manager is properly monitoring the plug-in target:
After successfully deploying the Enterprise Manager Plug-In for Oracle GoldenGate, you must add the plug-in target to Enterprise Manager Cloud Control for central monitoring and management.
Enterprise Manager provides instance-level security flexibility to provide target-level privileges to administrators. For example, if an Enterprise Manager Plug-In for Oracle GoldenGate is managing three Oracle GoldenGate (OGG) instances (for example, OGG1, OGG2, and OGG3), a user can be granted privileges to any of these instances and their sub-targets (that is, their OGG processes).
