Oracle Database is a powerful, cloud-based, enterprise-level relational database management system (RDBMS) from Oracle Corporation. It provides a variety of features including high availability, performance, scalability, security, and data integrity for applications of any size. Oracle Database is used by businesses to store, manage, and analyze large amounts of data.
The prerequisites for monitoring OracleDB with Netdata are to have OracleDB and Netdata installed on your system.
Netdata auto discovers hundreds of services, and for those it doesn’t turning on manual discovery is a one line configuration. For more information on configuring Netdata for OracleDB monitoring please read the collector documentation.
You should now see the OracleDB section on the Overview tab in Netdata Cloud already populated with charts about all the metrics you care about.
Netdata has a public demo space (no login required) where you can explore different monitoring use-cases and get a feel for Netdata.
Session activity is an important metric to monitor when using Oracle Database. It indicates the number of active user sessions, the usage of session limits, and the number of logon attempts. High session activity can indicate a potential issue with your database, as too many sessions can lead to performance issues. Monitoring session activity helps you to identify potential problems and take corrective action before they become a major issue.
Disk activity is another key metric to monitor when using Oracle Database. It indicates the amount of read/write operations on physical disks, the number of sorts on disk, and the number of full table scans. High disk activity can indicate a potential issue with your database, as too many operations can lead to performance issues. Monitoring disk activity helps you to identify potential problems and take corrective action before they become a major issue.
Database and buffer activity is another important metric to monitor when using Oracle Database. It indicates the database wait time ratio, the amount of free shared pool memory, the ratio of in-memory sorts, the SQL service response time, the amount of user rollbacks, and the number of enqueue timeouts. High database and buffer activity can indicate a potential issue with your database, as too many operations can lead to performance issues. Monitoring database and buffer activity helps you to identify potential problems and take corrective action before they become a major issue.
Cache is an important metric to monitor when using Oracle Database. It indicates the cache hit ratio, and the amount of global cache blocks events. High cache activity can indicate a potential issue with your database, as too many operations can lead to performance issues. Monitoring cache activity helps you to identify potential problems and take corrective action before they become a major issue.
Activities is an important metric to monitor when using Oracle Database. It indicates the amount of activities that are being performed on the database. High activity can indicate a potential issue with your database, as too many operations can lead to performance issues. Monitoring activity helps you to identify potential problems and take corrective action before they become a major issue.
Wait time is an important metric to monitor when using Oracle Database. It indicates the amount of time that a process has been waiting for a response from the database. High wait time can indicate a potential issue with your database, as too much waiting can lead to performance issues. Monitoring wait time helps you to identify potential problems and take corrective action before they become a major issue.
Tablespace is an important metric to monitor when using Oracle Database. It indicates the size, usage, and usage in percent of a tablespace. High tablespace usage can indicate a potential issue with your database, as too much usage can lead to performance issues. Monitoring tablespace helps you to identify potential problems and take corrective action before they become a major issue.
Allocated space is an important metric to monitor when using Oracle Database. It indicates the size, usage, and usage in percent of an allocated space. High allocated space usage can indicate a potential issue with your database, as too much usage can lead to performance issues. Monitoring allocated space helps you to identify potential problems and take corrective action before they become a major issue.
