Let’s forge ahead with our discussion on 10G Grid Control’s performance monitoring capablities by turning our attention to database performance. Like the blogs on 10G host performance, I’ll break this information up into two blogs. This first blog will provide you with a quick tour of EM’s database performance monitoring component. In my next blog, I’ll provide you with a brief overview on how to use the information it generates to monitor database performance.

We’ll then take a look at 10G Grid Control’s performance advisors that are grouped together in Advisor Central. Once we have a firm understanding of Enterprise Manager’s performance and tuning capabilities, we’ll put our newfound knowledge to use when we use EM to solve some real-world performance problems.

Before we begin our discussion on 10G Grid Control’s database monitoring and tuning features, I thought I would show you how to configure the 10G Grid Control environment to provide automatic notifications. Creating automatic notifications allows database administrators to identify (and correct) performance and availability issues before they negatively impact the database environment.


In many of my blogs, I have been promising to cover this topic. In addition, I’m getting a little tired of writing “We’ll learn more about creating and modifying performance alerts in upcoming blogs.” So consider this “the upcoming blog.”

We took a quick detour from 10G in my last blog. In this blog, we get back on topic by discussing 10G Enterprise Manager’s host performance monitoring and tuning features. In the final installment of this two-part series, I’ll show you how to use 10G Grid Control’s drilldown capabilities to identify performance problems.
