Additional Setup for Real-time Monitoring

This section describes Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control's (Cloud Control) Compliance features include the ability to monitor certain elements of your targets in real time to watch for configuration changes or actions that may result in configuration changes.

These features include Operating System level file change monitoring, process starts and stops, Operating System user logins and logouts, Oracle database changes and more.
