Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Monitoring


Oracle Cloud - An Overview

Oracle Cloud is Oracle's in-built cloud platform that helps you build and run a wide range of applications and services in a highly available hosted environment. Oracle Cloud services such as IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, and DaaS are used to build, deploy, integrate, and extend applications in cloud.

Oracle Cloud Monitoring - What we do

Applications Manager's Oracle Cloud Infrastructure monitoring tool will give you complete visibility into every component of your Oracle Cloud environment thereby allowing you to optimize the performance of business critical Oracle cloud services. With our root cause analysis capabilities, you can easily identify the root cause of performance issues and troubleshoot them quickly.

Our Oracle cloud monitoring capabilities will allow you to:

  • Effortlessly monitor compute elements of your Oracle cloud infrastructure.
  • Collect and monitor key metrics like CPU usage, disk I/O, memory utilization, etc.
  • Keep tabs on critical parameters like boot volume, block volume, etc.
  • View network status and understand performance trends.

Follow the steps given below to create a new Oracle Cloud monitor:

  1. Click on New Monitor link.Select Oracle Cloud under Cloud Apps category.
  2. Specify the Display Name of the Oracle cloud application.
  3. Enter the Services you want to monitor.
  4. Specify the Regions you have subscribed to. Click here to view supported regions
  5. Specify the Tenancy OCID and User OCID.
  6. Provide the PEM file path. Follow these instructions to generate API signing key.
  7. Enter the Fingerprint of the public key.
  8. If you choose the Advanced Settings option, input the number of compartments you want to monitor.
  9. Enable Stop discovery if you want to stop discovering resources under a particular service.
  10. Select the Action you want to perform on the terminated resources.
  11. Specify the Polling interval in minutes.
  12. Click Add Monitor(s). This discovers the Oracle cloud and starts monitoring it.

Monitored Parameters
