Configuring the On-demand Data Port

Use the On-demand Data Settings view in the Databases Administration dashboard to define a port for each Foglight Agent Manager to be used by for retrieving data and integrating with Performance Analysis.

To configure a port for the collection of on-demand data:
1
Select the check box near the names of the requested Foglight Agent Managers.
2
Click Set port.
The Set On-demand Data Port dialog box opens.
3
Type the name of the requested port.
4
Click Set.
5
Click Validate connectivity.
The Validate connectivity progress bar appears. At the end of the validation process, the connection status appears on the Status column.
If the connection failed, take the requested correction measures and try again.
* 
IMPORTANT: Changes to the On-demand Data Port view take effect immediately and do not need to be saved.

Changing the Monitoring Mode of the RAC One Node Agents

Use the RAC One Node view in the Databases Administration dashboard to change the monitoring mode of agents configured as RAC One Node, enabling the monitoring of such agents as regular RACs.

* 
NOTE: The RAC One Node view is only relevant for agents configured as RAC One Node. If no such agent was selected before entering the Databases Administration dashboard, this view will be empty.
To change the monitoring mode of a RAC One Node agent:
1
Click anywhere on the row of the RAC One Node agent (the root).
The Convert to Regular RAC dialog box appears, displaying one or more hosts.
2
Click the row of the RAC that is to be converted to regular RAC.
The Convert to Regular RAC dialog box opens.
3
From the list of hosts that appear in the dialog box, select the host that is to be converted to a physical RAC.
4
Click Validate to verify the selected host’s connectivity.
5
After the connectivity validation completes successfully, click Set.
* 
IMPORTANT: Converting a RAC One Node to a regular RAC is an irreversible process. The Save changes button is disabled on the RAC One Node view, and after clicking Set, the selected host is immediately converted to a physical RAC. Therefore, ensure that the requested host is selected before clicking Set.

After the selected host was converted to a physical RAC, use the Oracle Monitoring Installer wizard to add the other hosts monitored through this agent as nodes to the newly created RAC. For further details, see Using Foglight for Oracle .

Administering SQL Performance Investigator

The SQL Performance Investigator view in the Administration dashboard allows you to enable and disable SQL PI monitoring for selected agents. In addition, you can start and stop the collection of change tracking data.

In the SQL PI view, select one or more agents to enable or disable or for which to modify the change tracking status.
