Oracle Enterprise Manager 13c: Oracle WebLogic Server Management Pack — Lesson 2: Metrics, Dashboards, Thresholds, and Incident Management

Technical Scope

• domain, server, JVM, JDBC, JMS, and application metrics
• home pages, performance views, charts, and target comparisons
• warning and critical thresholds, metric extensions, and baselines
• incident rules, notifications, escalation, acknowledgment, and closure

Instructor Demonstration

Demonstrate domain, server, JVM, JDBC, JMS, and application metrics within a multi-domain WebLogic platform onboarded into Enterprise Manager for centralized monitoring, incident response, configuration compliance, and patch readiness, then capture the exact configuration, command, transaction, report, trace, or code evidence that proves the expected result.

Applied Workshop

Implement a controlled workshop covering home pages, performance views, charts, and target comparisons and warning and critical thresholds, metric extensions, and baselines, then test a failure, exception, or business-control scenario involving incident rules, notifications, escalation, acknowledgment, and closure.

1. Confirm the environment, identities, data, dependencies, controls, and expected result.
2. Complete the product-specific configuration, development, analysis, or business-process task.
3. Capture commands, configuration, output, logs, transactions, reports, or test evidence.
4. Explain the operational, security, performance, data-quality, or business trade-off.

Validation Standard

The Metrics, Dashboards, Thresholds, and Incident Management result must be reproducible, traceable to approved inputs, and consistent with expected Oracle product or business-process behavior.

• The intended target, scope, and ownership are verified.
• The result is supported by reproducible evidence and expected-value checks.
• Security, performance, reliability, data quality, and support impact are reviewed.
• Unexpected behavior is investigated before acceptance or release.

Failure Analysis

Diagnose issues in domain, server, JVM, JDBC, JMS, and application metrics, home pages, performance views, charts, and target comparisons, warning and critical thresholds, metric extensions, and baselines, or incident rules, notifications, escalation, acknowledgment, and closure without making an unverified production change.

Learners isolate the smallest proven cause, apply a reversible correction, rerun validation, and record the preventive action.

Practical Outcome

Complete a validated implementation or analysis for Metrics, Dashboards, Thresholds, and Incident Management and defend the result with documented evidence.
