- 30. What is New in OEM 12c
- 31. What is New • Metric Extensions • Access • Database • Cloud Policies • Compliance Management and Reporting • Consolidation Planner • Incident Manager • Charge Back Administration
- 32. What are Metric Extensions? • Similar to User Defined Metrics in prior Oracle Enterprise Manager Releases • Extend Monitoring Capabilities • Custom Metrics with custom threshold • Allow full fledged metrics for many target types • Hosts, Databases, Fusion Applications, Oracle Exadata Databases and Storage Servers, Siebel Components, OBIEE Components
- 33. How Do Metric Extensions Differ from User- defined Metrics? • User-defined metrics (UDM) collect values through executing OS scripts or SQL statements. This imposed several limitations: • UDM - Custom scripts/other files required file(s) be manually placed on each target’s file system. • OS user-defined metrics cannot have child objects of servers by returning multiple rows, only for SQL user-defined metrics. • User-defined metrics collect multiple data pieces using multiple user-defined metrics. Cannot to refer to 2 data points from 2 metrics for alert generation as data is collected separately. • User-defined metrics only use the OS script and SQL execution, metric extensions can use protocols such as SNMP and JMX. • Only user defined metrics for host targets and SQL for database targets. No other target types allowed such as Weblogic.
- 34. Access • Enforced Security for Web Services • Username/Token-based Authentication for Accessing Web Services within OEM • Bulk Provisioning/De-provisioning of External Accounts • LDAP users can be provisioned in bulk to the Management Repository • De-provision accounts no longer needed. • LDAP Authentication • Kerberos and Secure Socket Layer Authentication (SSL)
- 35. Access • Fine Grained Privileges • 200 new granular privileges to control access • Targets • Objects • Resources • New Out of the Box Roles • Administration Groups • Manage Many Targets as a Single Entity • Automatic Deployments of Monitor Settings and Compliance Standard settings across all targets in a group.
- 36. Database • Database Creation in Enterprise Manager • Wizard to create Oracle Database from within OEM • Single Instance and RAC Cluster Database • Database Upgrade in Enterprise Manager • Single Instance and RAC Cluster • Upgrades from a Single Console • Database Cloning • enhanced to capture configuration properties
- 37. Database • Automatic Storage Management (ASM) Clusters as a Target • Manage ASM Clusters as a single target • Metric Monitoring for the cluster • Emergency Troubleshoot • Diagnose and troubleshoot hung or really slow database using memory access mode. • Bypasses the SQL information retrieval Layer • Read Performance Statistics directly from the SGA
- 38. Database • You can now use Enterprise Manager Cloud Control to centrally maintain settings for Oracle database and file system backups.
- 39. Cloud Policies • Policies are in a sense the rules under which actions are taken to correct things under defined situations. • Can define your own policies or use pre-defined policies • Can not update Pre-defined Policies • 2 types of policies • Performance • based on performance metrics of a target • Schedule Based • based on a defined schedule
- 40. Cloud Policies • Can be created in a hierarchy where a policy at a higher level inherits the properties of the policy at the lower level • Policy Levels • data center inherits zone level • zone level inherits server pools and server level • server pools and servers level
- 41. Compliance Management and Reporting • Standard best practices measured for targets • Business best practices for security, configuration and storage • Make recommendations for bringing the targets into compliance • Has database configuration data to be managed within the framework • allows for industry standard compliance such as PCI, PCI Requirement 10, PCI 10.5, etc • Compliance report a score based on how compliant target is to the compliance standard
- 42. Consolidation Planner • An increase in floor space, power, cooling and management drives consolidation • Organizations realize that in a lot of cases the servers are really only partially utilized • Allows the matching of servers you want to consolidate with virtual environments or Exadata they can be consolidated to • Leverages data collected from server targets and factors business and technical requirements to help determine the consolidation options
- 43. Incident Manager
- 44. Incident Manager • Show incidents/problems • Track and Manage Incidents/problems • Escalate • Assign • Comments • Acknowledge • See Incident/problem Details
- 45. Charge Back Administration • collects the metrics (metering if you will) of resource consumption based on configuration or usage basis. • ability to put metrics in place that allow the measurements of resource usage • gives us data that can be utilized as a resource planning tool
- 46. Charge Back Administration • 3 universal metrics of consumption • CPU • Memory • Storage • Key resources have a cost tied to them for example $1 per day of CPU, $1 per GB of storage utilized, $2 per day of Memory consumed. • Universal metrics can be applied to all types of targets such as a database, a WebLogic Server, etc.
- 47. Charge Back Administration • Cost = Resource Used * Charge per unit of resource • Example • 100G database using 10G of RAM and 2 CPUs at 25% • Storage Cost = 100G * 1 • CPU Cost = ($1 * 2cpus) * .25 percent used • Total Cost = Storage Cost + Ram Cost + CPU Cost
