Administering Foglight for Oracle

You use the Databases Administration dashboard to set options for collecting, storing, and displaying data about monitored Oracle instances.

Opening the Databases Administration Dashboard

You can edit settings for one or more Oracle instances on the Databases > Administration dashboard.

* 
NOTE: If you attempt to select instances of more than one type of database, such as an SQL Server database and an Oracle database, an error message is displayed.
To open the Databases Administration dashboard:
1
In the navigation panel, under Homes, click Databases.
2
Select the row check boxes beside one or more Oracle instances.
3
Click Settings and then click Administration.
The Administration dashboard opens, containing settings for all the selected agents. Settings are broken down into categories, which are organized under an Oracle tree.
* 
TIP: The list of agents you selected can be found by clicking Selected Agents.

Reviewing the Administration Settings

Use the Databases Administration dashboard to set options for collecting, storing, and displaying data, which apply to all of the currently selected agents. Click a category of settings on the left (for example: Connection Details) to open a view containing related settings on the right.

The metrics defined on the Databases Administration dashboard apply to all of the agents that were selected before opening the Administration dashboard. As a result, the same unit of measure and aggregation value for display are enforced for all currently selected agents.

To view the full list of selected agents, click Selected Agents button at the upper right corner of the screen. To change the list of agents to which the metrics apply, exit the Databases Administration dashboard, select the required agents, and re-open the dashboard.

If the settings vary between the selected agents (for example: one agent uses the measurement unit kilobyte, while another uses megabyte), the fields that contain non-identical values are displayed as empty and marked with an Inconsistent Values () icon.

Changes made to settings should be saved before selecting another category of settings.

To save changes made in an Administration dashboard view:
1
In the Database Administration dashboard, select a category of settings from the left-hand panel.
2
Make changes to settings as necessary.
3
Click Save changes at the bottom of the view.
If you attempt to exit the view without saving changes, a Warning dialog box prompts you to confirm your action.

Defining Connection Details

Use the Connection Details category to define global connection settings, which apply to all instances and hosts selected in the view. You can enable user-defined collections and set VMware connection details.

* 
NOTE: The following sections instructs how to define the connection settings for monitored Oracle instances.
