APM Configuration and Compliance

  23. Application Performance Management Enabling End-to-End Management with ECID ECID • Real end-user experience • Monitor and filter by business KPI’s • Link user actions to ECID • Trace transactions across JVMs / tiers with ECID • Monitor and filter transactions with business KPI’s • Zero-overhead, production monitoring of JVM thread activity • Bi-directional integration with Database End-User Management Database Management Middleware Management • Capture DB activity via Diag & Tuning • Link activity to ECID • Tuning recommendations based on AWR repository

  24. Application Performance Management Complete End User Management using RUEI • Correlate actual FA app performance with benchmark • OOTB recognition of FA Taxonomy • Establish / report on KPIs • Capture location, browser type, etc. • Zero performance overhead

  25. Oracle-owned technology stack enables superlative diagnostics ECID is the lynchpin between end-user, middleware, and database activity Filter by JVM activity by Method, Thread State, Request Name, SQL, & ECID Direct contextual navigation between JVM Diagnostics feature and database diagnostics features Allows DBAs and Developers to communicate more efficiently. Expedites and facilitates the troubleshooting process Application Performance Management JVM Diagnostics: Zero Overhead Production Diagnostics

  26. Application Performance Management • Helpdesk receives a call from a user, complaining of an Application issue (e.g. performance, error, etc) • Use RUEI isolate user sessions. Capture ECID • Analyze WLS activity with JVMD (using ECID). • Analyze DB activity with ASH Analytics (using ECID) • Use case: Troubleshooting User Performance Problems

  27. Application Performance Management RUEI Homepage Multiple Dashboards for different business purposes Fusion Apps-specific content Seeded and Custom regions

  28. Application Performance Management Isolate a Specific User Session Multiple Dashboards for different business purposes Aggregated Fusion App violations, by Fusion Product Fusion Application violations by User id Fusion Application activity by User id

  29. Application Performance Management Isolate a Specific User Session Isolate a specific user session with Filters • Choose different “Dimensions” to analyze resulting session • Fusion Apps-specific • Technology-specific

  30. Application Performance Management Session Diagnostics: Locate and Troubleshoot Actual Sessions Isolate actual user sessions with Filters Complete record of all steps in the session in Fusion Apps Lexicon Performance data for each step, color-coded by satisfaction levels Access ECID details for end-to-End visibility and tracing

  37. Configuration and Compliance • Proper setup of HTTP server is critical for Fusion Applications. • The internal environment is highly dynamic, with multiple personnel having a hand in provisioning. • Admins want to quickly and easily verify that HTTP servers are correctly configured, as per Oracle’s Best Practices. • In the future, admins want to be alerted proactively if any “configuration drift” occurs. • Use Case for Compliance

  38. Configuration and Compliance Enforcing Best Practices with Compliance Rules • Guided modeling to create the Compliance Rule • Out-of-the-box Rules and Standards for Fusion Apps • Validate parameters in name-value pairs in managed files • Seeded and custom rules, using guided creation and modeling • Does the HTTP Server threads per Child equal 50? Yes No • Violation • Compliant

  39. Configuration and Compliance Organizing Rules with Standards and Frameworks Frameworks consist of multiple Standards Standards are groups of rules, by a particular Target type Standards are applied to Targets manually, or automatically via Admin Groups Standards are groups of related Rules (e.g., Database, Host, Fusion Apps Rule are individual validations against a specific Target type

  40. Configuration and Compliance Manage Compliance Scores Efficiently with Dashboards • Dashboards for measuring the compliance of a Standard • Quickly view which Rules, within the Standard, are compliant • Access more detailed information on specific violation • Address and/or resolve the violation

  41. Configuration and Compliance Leveraging Incident Rule Sets to Manage Compliance • Incident Rules automate the detection of an system event, as well as the associated response • Incident Rules can be grouped together in Incident Rule Sets

  42. Configuration and Compliance Leveraging Incident Rule Sets to Manage Compliance • One Rule in this Rule Set • Add a new Rule to the Set. The triggering event will be a decline in the Compliance score. • Specify actions to take: • Generate Alert Email • Create Incident • Update Incident
