ManageEngine announced significant upgrades to the Oracle database monitoring feature in Applications Manager, its application performance monitoring solution.
For Applications Manager users, the move improves tuning and troubleshooting of Oracle systems by enhancing real-time visibility into the health and performance of Oracle databases and their related applications.
ManageEngine is demonstrating Applications Manager and its new Oracle database monitoring enhancements at Oracle OpenWorld, which continues through September 26 at Moscone Center in San Francisco. ManageEngine is in booth 2220 in the Moscone South exhibition hall.
As Oracle-powered businesses continue to find new and different ways to use their data to gain competitive advantage, IT departments are witnessing an explosion of applications. DBAs and IT operations staff are consequently under increasing pressure to ensure the Oracle databases and business-critical applications perform optimally and meet service level standards. For the IT people, the challenge becomes understanding the complex interrelationships among the databases and applications to quickly reach and troubleshoot the root problem in an Oracle system that is underperforming.
“Whenever a business-critical Oracle application or process is underperforming, IT teams tend to point fingers at areas that are not well understood,” said Sridhar Iyengar, VP of Product Management at ManageEngine. “Applications Manager monitors across the Oracle application stack — and any other heterogeneous set of servers, app servers and databases. The performance insight now offered by Applications Manager reveals exactly what’s running and whether a problem is at the application, database or network level; so, you can solve performance problems faster and spend less time playing the blame game.”
Applications Manager provides comprehensive Oracle performance monitoring to minimize downtime and performance degradation as well as take action proactively before problems arise. It also helps to optimize the performance of Oracle databases as well as the applications powered by Oracle.
The new key performance indicators monitored by Applications Manager include attributes for database backup status, Oracle ASM (automatic storage management) instances, block corruption, PGA (program global area) details, processes, scheduled jobs, objects approaching max extents and more. These performance attributes are tracked across all versions of Oracle, including the latest 12c version.
Among its many capabilities, the Oracle monitoring in Applications Manager helps IT personnel:
- troubleshoot performance bottlenecks
- achieve performance targets for applications, batch processes and other Oracle services
- monitor resource utilization
- fine tune the Oracle system
In addition to Oracle databases, Applications Manager monitors the health and performance of Oracle E-Business Suite, MySQL as well as WebLogic and Oracle Application Servers. Applications Manager also supports MS SQL, Sybase, IBM DB2 and PostgreSQL databases; NoSQL databases such as MongoDB, Cassandra and Memcached; and the Redis key-value store.
