Raastech Blog: The low-cost approach to monitoring Oracle products and environments

There are many capable monitoring tools out there today on the market that provide true end-to-end monitoring and management of your Oracle infrastructure. The first product that comes to mind is Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c Cloud Control. It is definitely a must have for any Oracle shop and we highly recommend it.

Unfortunately, for the small or midsized company, the total cost of ownership of OEM may be prohibitive.

At Raastech, we've implemented a series of scripts at numerous customers that perform a reasonably adequate job in monitoring and managing the more important areas of Oracle WebLogic Server, Oracle SOA Suite, and the Oracle Database.

Monitoring

Infrastructure monitoring and performance reports.

Alerting

Email alerts upon trigger of critical events occur or if predefined thresholds are exceeded.

Management

Full and incremental backups of middleware and database, log rotation, archiving, and purging.

Take a look at some of the emails that we send out. If you're looking for an extremely low-cost and basic solution for your Oracle environments, reach out to us and we can help.
