Introduction

Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control and Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center are complementary technologies that are designed to provide an enterprise-level data center management solution for all levels, from applications to storage disks.

As shown in Figure 1, Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control software enables businesses to improve application, middleware, database, and operating system performance. Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center software enables businesses to manage the operating systems, virtual machines, servers, and storage devices.

Figure 1 Oracle Enterprise Manager

Description of Figure 1 follows
Description of "Figure 1 Oracle Enterprise Manager"

The plug-in module extends the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control monitoring features to include the additional infrastructure layers below the operating system that are provided by Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center, including:

Virtual assets, including Oracle Solaris Zones and Oracle Solaris VM Server for SPARC domains and guests

Service processors

Server containers (chassis)

Oracle SPARC Enterprise M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Server domains

To enable data to flow between the two applications, you must configure each application separately, then complete the connection.

Figure 2 Overview of Tasks to Deploy and Configure the Plug-in

Description of Figure 2 follows
Description of "Figure 2 Overview of Tasks to Deploy and Configure the Plug-in"

When you configure Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center and Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control applications to work together, the monitoring information is shared between both applications. Each user interface includes information about resources that are managed by the other application. Because each application provides operating system monitoring, operating system information is not shared between the applications.

Requirements

This section describes what is needed to enable monitoring of the infrastructure stack:

View Events, Problems and Incidents

Basic information gathered by both applications is accessible from both user consoles. For more detailed information, go to the software console that gathered the information.

What is an Event?

An event is a discrete occurrence detected by Enterprise Manager related to one or more managed entities at a particular point in time which may indicate normal or problematic behavior. Examples of events include: database target going down, performance threshold violation, change in application configuration files, successful completion of job execution, or job failure.

Previous versions of Enterprise Manager generated alerts for exception conditions (metric alerts). For Enterprise Manager 12c, metric alerts are a type of event, one of many different event types. This event model significantly raises the number of conditions in an IT infrastructure for which Enterprise Manager can detect and raise events.

What is an Incident or Problem?

An incident is an event or a set of closely correlated events that requires immediate action to resolve. A problem is defined as a less critical set of events.

In Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center 12c, events are associated with Informational, Warning, or Critical incidents. A critical incident in Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center equals an incident in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control. Earlier versions of Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center use the term problem instead of incident.

Table 2 shows the relationship of the terms between the applications and releases.
