Folks,
(I've been given the task of setting up monitoring for a number of Oracle
databases on AWS EC2 and unfortunately given little to no guidance, so I
apologize upfront if my question seems rather basic.)
Has anyone set up management agents on AWS EC2 environments to monitor from
an OEM outside of AWS? We did something similar in the past for RDS
environments but I was hoping we wouldn't have to rely on the OEM AWS
plugin, which only provides a rather limited subset of functionality of OEM
for the envs.
Since we have SSH key pairs set up to reach the AWS servers, my assumption
was I could perform agent installations from OEM (which resides outside of
AWS), using pre-defined Named Credentials that use SSH key pairs.
Unfortunately it seems the connection can't be made that way through OEM,
although I did prove I COULD connect at the OS level using the same method.
I did find a post by Pete Sharman from 5/2016 saying that under OEM 13c
we'd need to have an Amazon VPC configured and only then could a typical,
OEM to agent monitoring configuration and that the only other option is to
use the AWS plugin. But, that's just over 1yr old and I wasn't sure if
anything has changed since then.
Thx.
