Viewing Protected Database Metrics

Use the console to view the various metric charts and monitor the performance of protected database backups.

To view the default metric charts for a single protected database:

  1. On the Protected databases list page, select the protected database that you want to work with. See Listing Protected Databases for detailed steps to access the list page.
  2. On the details page, select the Monitoring tab.:

    The Metrics section displays a default set of charts for the protected database.

  3. Use the date filter to specify a date and time when the metric period starts and ends. You can also select a predetermined length of time for the metric period.
  4. For each metric displayed on the page, you can apply these commands from the Actions menu displayed in the upper right corner:
    • View query in Metrics Explorer: View the metric in the Monitoring service's Metrics Explorer, see Viewing a Custom Metric Chart.
    • Copy Chart URL: Copy the URL for the metric chart.
    • Copy Query (MQL): Copy the predefined service query used in the metric chart in Monitoring Query Language (MQL) format.
    • Create an alarm on this query: Copy the query from this metric chart to a new alarm. See Using Alarms to Monitor Protected Databases.
    • Table view: Displays the metrics in a tabular format.

To view the default metric chart for multiple protected databases

  1. Open the navigation menu and select Observability & Management.
  2. Under Monitoring, select Service Metrics.
  3. Change the Compartment to find the protected database that you want to monitor.
  4. In the Metric namespace field, select oci_recovery_service.
  5. The Service Metrics page dynamically updates the page to show charts for each metric that is emitted by the selected metric namespace.

To view custom query metric charts using Metrics Explorer

  2. Select a Compartment.
  3. In the Metric namespace field, select oci_recovery_service.
  4. In the Metric name field, select a metric. For example, select DataLossExposure to create a metric chart that displays data loss exposure information for protected databases.

  6. Select Update Chart.
  7. The chart shows the results of your new query.
  8. Select Add Query below the chart to add more queries.
