Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Observability and Management

Oracle observability and Management have the toolset to monitor, manage, and troubleshoot Oracle databases and Linux servers. In the past several months, we have seen tremendous enhancements in the service. Being a managed services provider, the tools, especially Operations Insights and Stack monitoring, are valuable to go back and check how the system behaved after-the-fact troubleshooting. Database Management looks good, but we are yet to explore it.
  • Stack Monitoring provides discovery and monitoring of an application including its underlying stack whether it is running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure or on-premises.
  • Stack monitoring for EBS provides insight into critical KPIs across E-Business Suite stack. You will see WebLogic, Concurrent manager and JVM utilization in the dashboard.
  • Operations insights helps to perform proactive performance management and improve application performance by tracking Oracle database SQL running across the enterprise.
  • More out-of-the-box configurations, especially various dashboards, will help get the service started quickly.
  • The stack monitoring set at first seems confusing and a lot of work. It will be easier if the setup and agent deployment is driven through a wizard.
  • The ROI is is great. O&M is like an insurance policy. You may not use it everyday, but when the need comes, the data and analytics behind O&M help to resolve issues quickly.
The product management team is very responsive. They are on LinkedIn and Twitter, responding to your questions and offering ideas. I have not opened an Oracle support ticket for this product yet.
