This chapter describes how to monitor OAM 11g performance using Oracle Fusion Middleware Control. This chapter focuses on general tasks that administrators can perform for Oracle Access Manager from Fusion Middleware Control. This information does not replace details in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.
This chapter includes the following topics:
Displaying OAM 11g Menus and Pages in Fusion Middleware Control
Displaying Farm Routing Topology in Fusion Middleware Control
Oracle Fusion Middleware Control must be deployed with Oracle Access Manager 11g on the WebLogic Administration Server, as described in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Identity Management.
Within Fusion Middleware Control OAM information is updated dynamically during live sessions.
Fusion Middleware Control organizes a wide variety of performance data and administrative functions into distinct Web-based pages. This helps administrators easily locate the most important monitoring data and the most commonly used administrative functions from a Web browser.
Note:
Enterprise Manager Grid Control is an independently licensed product that provides additional capabilities not found in Fusion Middleware Control (primarily, the ability to collect and maintain data for historical purposes and trending).Oracle Access Manager 11g is deployed as a Java EE application in a WebLogic container. For high availability and failover, OAM is typically deployed in a WebLogic cluster environment. A WebLogic Server domain can have multiple clusters. To provide monitoring and performance statistics for all clustered components requires a composite target. This target provides status and rolled-up load and response performance metrics for member instances. In addition to the metrics exposed for OAM, generic performance metrics are also available for Java EE application and composite Java EE applications.
Fusion Middleware Control must be deployed with Oracle Access Manager 11g on the WebLogic Administration Server, as shown in Figure 16-1.
Using Fusion Middleware Control for OAM targets is supported through the Oracle Dynamic Monitoring Service instrumentation within OAM. This instrumentation is used to provide:
OAM performance overview and drill down
OAM log message searches and dynamic log level changes
OAM routing topology overview
OAM Mbean browser
This section provides the following topics:
The Fusion Middleware Control Login page provides the usual fields for the User Name and Password. The bottom of the Fusion Middleware Control Login page provides topics that you can click for additional information. The Login page is shown in Figure 16-2.
Only Fusion Middleware Control administrators can perform this task.

Figure 16-11 shows the Log Levels configuration page Fusion Middleware Control.
The Log Levels tab on the Log Configuration page allows you to configure the log level for both persistent loggers and active runtime loggers:
Persistent loggers are saved in a configuration file and become active when the component is started.
The log levels for these loggers are persisted across component restarts.
Runtime loggers are automatically created during runtime and become active when a particular feature area is exercised.
For example, oracle.j2ee.ejb.deployment.Logger is a runtime logger that becomes active when an EJB module is deployed. Log levels for runtime loggers are not persisted across component restarts.
Table 16-6 explains the configuration status and options for log levels.
