SOA
Management Pack
The latest Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) Grid Control 12c is Oracle's mon-
itoring and management product of choice for the majority of Oracle software and
applications. By leveraging OEM Grid Control, you can monitor and manage all
your Oracle and non-Oracle software through a single, centralized console. OEM
Grid Control is licensed separately from Oracle SOA Suite.
OEM Grid Control should not be confused with Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion
Middleware Control or other consoles such as Oracle Enterprise Manager Applic-
ation Server Control (included with older versions of the Oracle Application Serv-
er).
An agent (specifically, the Oracle Management Agent) is installed on every server
you wish to monitor, and data on the installed server and operating system is col-
lected and reported back to the central repository (specifically, the Oracle Man-
agement Server) at regular intervals. It is through the Oracle Management Serv-
er (OMS) that you can log in to view server status, performance, configure alerts,
and perform administrative tasks.
For environments with a large number of applications, systems, and servers, we
recommend a monitoring tool such as OEM Grid Control to simplify the monitor-
ing and management functions of the administrator. Some key benefits of OEM
Grid Control include:
Centralized monitoring and management of both Oracle and non-Oracle ap-
plications and software
Pre-configured alerts
Out-of-the-box support for targets such as applications (for example, Oracle
E-Business Suite and Oracle Fusion Applications), middleware (for example,
Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle SOA Suite), database, operating sys-
tems (for example, Windows, Linux, AIX, and Solaris), virtual machines, and
more
