Oracle Database Overview

The Oracle Database Overview page in the OCI Console enables you to view and manage all of your tenancy's Oracle Database resources using a single dashboard tool.

The Overview page provides information on all of your work requests, alarms, announcements and more, regardless of whether the databases use Autonomous Database, Base Database Service, Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure, or Exadata Database Service on Cloud@Customer infrastructure.

This article describes the Overview page in detail. The following topics are covered.

Resource Summary Section

The resource summary tiles provide you with details on how many Oracle Databases you have currently provisioned in your tenancy.

The Autonomous Database tile provides total numbers of databases by workload type and infrastructure type.

The Databases tile provides total numbers of bare metal, or virtual machine databases by database edition type, and total numbers of Exadata databases by infrastructure type.

At the bottom of each tile are messages reporting whether or not usage of the resources listed in the column are near or at service limits for the tenancy. For resources that at near or at service limits, you can request a service limit increase. For more information on service limits and requesting a service limit increase, see Service Limits.

Operations Section

The tiles for alarms, activity, announcements, and service health allow you to quickly assess whether any of your Oracle Database resources need attention, how normal operations are proceeding, and if there are service-related announcements you need to know about to effectively manage your resources.

The Alarms tile displays the OCI Monitoring service alarms for your Oracle Database service resources. You can click the alarm icon in the alarms tile to navigate to detailed information about the alarms. In the list view of your tenancy's alarms, you can limit the list by compartment, alarm status, and alarm severity. For more information on managing alarms, see Managing Alarms.

The Activity tile displays the number of in-progress work requests for your Oracle Database service resources. You can click on the tile's activity icon to navigate to a complete list of in-progress work requests in your specified compartment. For more information on work requests, see Work Requests.

The Announcements tile displays the number of unread Oracle Database announcements for your tenancy, if any. You can click on the tile's announcements icon to navigate to your unread announcements. For more information on announcements, see Console Announcements.

The Service Health tile displays the availability status of all Oracle Database instances in the selected region, and allows you to easily navigate to the OCI status page to check the availability status of all OCI services, by region. For more information, see OCI Status.
