Out-of-the-Box Enterprise Manager Dashboards

The out-of-the-box Enterprise Manager dashboards provide a summary of the health, compliance, and other details of the assets in your enterprise or the targets that are a part of a group. The data in these dashboards is organized in widgets and presented using visualization options such as graphs, thereby facilitating quick and easy interpretation.

The following out-of-the-box dashboards are listed on the Dashboards page and you can click the name of the dashboard to access it and monitor the data available in the widgets:

  • Target Summary: Provides an overview of the health and performance of a target. In this dashboard, you can select a single target and monitor its availability, a summary of open incidents, and key metrics over the last 24 hours. In addition, the tabs below the widgets display historical metric data, the list of incidents, compliance standards, and jobs for the target. In this dashboard, you can click the titles and contents of the widgets to go to the corresponding Enterprise Manager page to obtain additional inputs. For example, if monitoring a database instance in the Target Summary dashboard, click the title of the Availability widget to go to the Availability (Status History) page and obtain detailed availability information for the database.
  • Enterprise Summary: Provides an overview of the assets in the enterprise, their health, and compliance. The widgets in this dashboard are organized within three major categories, Overview, Infrastructure, and Compliance. The widgets display information such as the status of the targets, inventory data such as the number of hosts and databases, compliance information, number of incidents and jobs, patch recommendations, and version details.
  • Group Summary: Provides an overview of the health, top metrics, and compliance information of the targets in a particular group. As a prerequisite task to using this dashboard, an administrator user must create a group. For information on creating a group, see Creating and Editing Groups.

    On accessing this dashboard and selecting a group in the Group drop-down list, you can monitor target status, target types, incident trend, compliance information, and inventory data. In addition, you can also monitor the top metrics for hosts, databases, and WebLogic server.

  • Federation Summary – By Sites: Provides a consolidated view of targets, incidents, jobs, and compliance data across a list of federated Enterprise Manager sites. It can be further filtered by a group that exists on multiple sites.
  • Federation Summary – By Groups: Provides a consolidated view of targets, incidents, jobs, and compliance data for selected groups across a list of federated Enterprise Manager sites.

Note that before you use the out-of-the-box Federation Summary dashboards, you must configure Enterprise Manager Federation. For information, see Configuring Enterprise Manager Federation in Oracle Enterprise Manager Advanced Installation and Configuration Guide.

In addition to the out-of-the-box dashboards listed above, you can use the out-of-the-box Exadata dashboards to monitor Exadata fleet configuration and capacity. These dashboards are a part of the Exadata Management Pack and Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance Management Pack. For more information, see Exadata Fleet Dashboards in Oracle Enterprise Manager Advanced Management and Monitoring for Engineered Systems.

In the out-of-the-box dashboards, click Actions and click one of the following options:

  • Duplicate: Create a duplicate of the out-of-the-box dashboard and customize it to meet your requirements.
  • Print: Print the dashboard.
  • Auto-refresh: Specify the frequency at which the data in the dashboard must be refreshed automatically.
  • Refresh: Refresh the data in the dashboard.

In the out-of-the-box widgets, click the data or value in a widget to navigate to the corresponding Enterprise Manager page. For example, if you click the number in the Databases widget, the All Targets page, which is refined to only list database targets, is displayed.
