Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Monitoring (Oracle Cloud)
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Monitoring is a comprehensive solution provided by Oracle Cloud for monitoring the health, performance, and availability of resources and services within the Oracle Cloud environment. It enables users to collect, analyze, and visualize metrics, alerts, and logs to ensure optimal performance of their cloud-based applications and infrastructure. Let’s take a closer look at the key features and functionalities of OCI Monitoring.
Here are its key features and functionality:
- Metrics collection and visualization:
- OCI Monitoring collects metrics from various Oracle Cloud services, such as compute instances, databases, storage, and networking components
- Users can create custom dashboards using OCI Monitoring’s user-friendly interface, allowing real-time visualization of metrics and data
- Alerting and notifications:
- Users can define alerting rules based on metric thresholds or conditions using OCI Monitoring
- When alerts are triggered, notifications can be sent through multiple channels, including email, SMS, and Oracle Cloud Notification Service
- Integration with other tools:
- OCI Monitoring seamlessly integrates with other Oracle Cloud services, such as Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Notifications and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Events
- Log analytics:
- OCI Monitoring allows users to integrate with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Logging, enabling the collection and analysis of logs for monitoring and troubleshooting.
- Service-level agreement (SLA) monitoring:
- Users can set SLA-based alerting rules to ensure compliance with predefined SLAs.
- Automation and orchestration:
- OCI Monitoring enables the automation of actions based on alerts through integration with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Events, allowing users to trigger actions and workflows
- Advanced analytics:
- Users can perform advanced analytics and queries on collected metrics using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure MQL
