Most of our DBA's have built/used previous versions of Grid. We are on Cloud
13c and it took a while to get this thing going. We only have two of the
management packs and for security reasons can't connect this thing outside the
organization so we're not downloading patches or uploading SR's to Oracle. I
think most of us can use the information provided, or will be able to with
some time. I'd like to shorten up the learning curve and have it ready to
merge into a multi-site operation with full time monitoring. I think I'm
missing the bigger picture here.
I'm relatively unfamiliar with some of our new sites and apps that we are
onboarding other than that they use Oracle. I guess I would describe them as
cats and dogs. We have a development site with 500 instances running which
is not being managed or monitored in grid. They have a limited amount of
additional resources to add a grid framework. The entire site is "dirty."
Management is interested in the custom piece.... they want to know that
application processes x, y, and c, are working and that interfaces a, b, c are
up. They want this information (on a dashboard?) on a LSD hanging on the
wall. So, I just started reading about custom metrics and reviewing the
sites you provided.

Donald,
Kellyn listed a number of great resources of which I've used I think all of
them. Are you looking just for help on various items or some sort of starting
point and perhaps "best" practices (or at least what some of us have done and
how it's worked)? If you want I could share a quick rundown on how we've
defined various items, in case that'd help.

I would recommend my blog <http://dbakevlar.com/> posts on EM, as well
as
Courtney Llamas <http://courtneyllamas.com/> and Pete Sharman's
<https://petewhodidnottweet.com/enterprise-manager-archives/> .
Brian Pardy <https://pardydba.wordpress.com/category/cloud-control/>
and Ray
Smith <https://oramanageability.com/> has done some awesome stuff, too. If
you want to look into the command line interface
<https://www.amazon.com/Oracle-Enterprise-Manager-Command-Line-Interface/dp/1484202392>
, Ray Smith, Seth Miller and I took that one on a while back, too. I know I'm
missing some other awesome blogs, but this should keep you busy for awhile...

Hi all,
Our customer is undergoing a major reorg and consolidation.
We went from
failed project with 100's of job losses, back to shoestring
operation, to a
new five year contract. As other projects come up for rebid
they are being
folded into the new contract. We are expanding to operations
in three
different hosting sites and building a coop at the 4th.
Sometime this year
they will gut the center third of our building and turn it into
an
operations center. Right now we're in a cube farm.
With no Grid or Cloud Control experts we managed to stand up
working
instances in three domains. I was challenged this morning to
move all our
legacy monitoring jobs and scripts into The scripts all
running in Solaris
cron monitor various jobs and interfaces. We have both Unix
and Oracle DBA
reports being run this way
I'd rather just skip the whole trial and error period and move
on to world
class monitoring. I know I can define custom metrics in EM and
fold some of
this stuff in. Before this goes out of control and gets
trashed I'd like
some tips on things to definitely do and definitely don't do.
If there is
a good book. Blog, or article on this I'd love to hear about
it. I'm
envisioning large screen displays on the walls being driven by
EM. Any
suggestions?
