Monitor your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Quick links

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is a comprehensive suite of integrated cloud services, offering everything from computing to storage to networking. It provides solutions for building, deploying, and managing workloads in the Oracle cloud, with a focus on security, performance, and scalability. 

Why monitor your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure?

Monitoring your OCI is essential for maintaining the health, performance, and security of your cloud resources. Without effective monitoring, you may face challenges such as downtime, performance bottlenecks, and security vulnerabilities. Regular monitoring helps identify and resolve issues proactively, ensures optimal resource utilization, and provides insights for cost management.

How does Site24x7 monitor the Oracle cloud?

Site24x7 offers a comprehensive monitoring solution for OCI that integrates seamlessly with your cloud environment.

Site24x7 sends one or more requests to the cloud API of each resource and derives data for each minute. Data collection happens every five minutes by default. However, you can customize data collection frequency to match your specific needs. Site24x7 analyzes the data and presents it in user-desired reports or dashboard formats. If the user has set thresholds, Site24x7 checks whether the derived data corresponds to the configured threshold limit. If there is any breach, an alert will be triggered.

Site24x7's OCI monitoring is done by creating policies which allows the Site24x7 tenancy to access your Oracle cloud tenancy. To discover the resources, you need to provide the Compartment ID. The performance metrics for OCI monitoring are collected using the OCI Java SDK API.
