Configure Monitoring for Oracle Analytics Cloud

⚙️ Configure Monitoring for Oracle Analytics Cloud

Configure GermainUX to analyze Oracle Analytics Cloud user experience, dashboards, queries, usage, APIs, OCI metrics, synthetic workflows, and supporting data sources.

💻 1. Configure User Experience Monitoring

Configure the browser monitoring profile associated with Oracle Analytics Cloud.

Depending on the authorized monitoring scope, analyze:

🎥 2. Configure Session Replay

Enable Session Replay when authorized.

Configure applicable:

Global Session Replay settings are available under:

Germain Workspace > Settings > System > UX and Session Replay Settings

🔒 3. Configure Privacy

Configure appropriate masking, anonymization, and exclusions.

Protect:

Validate privacy controls before broad production deployment.

👥 4. Configure User Identification

When authorized user identity is available, configure GermainUX to associate activity with the appropriate OAC user.

This enables analysis by:

Do not collect user attributes that are unnecessary for monitoring.

📈 5. Configure Dashboard and Analysis Monitoring

Identify critical Oracle Analytics content.

Examples include:

Configure monitoring so that user activity can be analyzed by the relevant content when identifiable from the available telemetry.

✋ 6. Configure User Interaction Monitoring

Analyze important user actions such as:

Exact interaction visibility depends on the browser telemetry available in the deployed OAC version.

🖱️ 7. Configure Click Monitoring

Analyze:

Use these signals to identify:

⏱️ 8. Configure Browser Performance

Analyze:

Compare performance by:

9. Configure Browser Error Monitoring

Monitor:

Correlate errors with the affected OAC session and workflow.

📊 10. Configure Usage Tracking

When Oracle Analytics Usage Tracking is available, configure GermainUX to analyze the required Usage Tracking tables.

Analyze available information such as:

🔍 11. Configure Query Performance Analysis

Use Usage Tracking information to identify:

Analyze query performance over time to establish expected behavior.

🤝 12. Configure Usage and Adoption Analysis

Use browser telemetry and Usage Tracking to analyze adoption.

Measures can include:

Analyze usage trends across appropriate populations and time periods.

☁️ 13. Configure OCI Metrics — Optional

When OCI Monitoring access is configured, collect applicable Oracle Analytics Cloud metrics.

Examples can include:

Use the metrics actually exposed by the configured OAC environment.

🔧 14. Configure REST API Monitoring — Optional

Configure approved OAC REST endpoints.

Depending on the use case, configure:

Use read-only operations whenever they satisfy the monitoring requirement.

📁 15. Configure Dataset Monitoring — Optional

When supported OAC APIs expose the required information, monitor dataset reload activity.

Analyze:

🔁 16. Configure Data Flow Monitoring — Optional

When supported OAC APIs expose data-flow information, monitor:

Use this information to detect analytics content that may be using stale or incomplete data.

🗄️ 17. Configure Data Source Monitoring — Optional

When GermainUX monitors customer-controlled OAC data sources, correlate analytics activity with:

🤖 18. Configure Synthetic Monitoring — Optional

Configure Oracle Analytics scenarios created with GermainUX RPA Bot Recorder.

Configure:

Examples:

Login → Dashboard → Verify Content

Dashboard → Filter → Verify Results

Analysis → Execute → Verify Results

🏅 19. Configure KPIs

Configure KPIs appropriate for the monitoring sources enabled.

Depending on the GermainUX configuration, these can include:

Create or map additional analytics around OAC Usage Tracking and OCI metrics when required.

📏 20. Configure Measures

Measures can include:

🚦 21. Configure Analysis Dimensions

Analyze Oracle Analytics Cloud activity by:

Use only dimensions available from the configured monitoring sources.

📋 22. Configure SLAs

Examples include:

✅ Availability

Oracle Analytics Availability < Expected SLA

⏲️ Dashboard Performance

Dashboard Response Time > Threshold

🤚 User Interaction

Interaction Response Time > Threshold

⏱️ Query Performance

Query Response Time > Threshold

🔋 Query Capacity

Query Capacity Usage > Threshold

🔌 Data Source

Data Source Connection Errors > Threshold

📡 Synthetic Monitoring

Critical OAC Scenario = Failed

🤖 23. Configure Rules and Automated Analysis

Create Rules such as:

• Slow Dashboard + Slow Query

• Slow Query + Database Degradation

• Slow Dashboard + High Query Capacity Usage

• Dashboard Error + Data Source Connection Error

• Browser Error + Affected Users

• Dataset Reload Failure + Affected Analytics Content

• Performance Regression + Increased User Impact

🔔 24. Configure Alerts and Watches

Examples include:

• Oracle Analytics Unavailable → Alert Operations

• Critical Dashboard Slow → Notify Analytics Team

• Query Performance Degradation → Notify Analytics and Database Teams

• Data Source Connection Errors → Notify Integration Team

• High Query Capacity Usage → Notify OAC Administrator

• Dataset Reload Failure → Notify Analytics Team

• Synthetic Dashboard Failure → Alert Support

🔧 Troubleshooting

🔎 No Browser Monitoring Data

Verify:

❗ Usage Tracking Data Is Missing

Verify:

⛔ REST API Monitoring Fails

Verify:

📊 OCI Metrics Are Missing

Verify:

❓ Dashboard Is Slow but OAC Metrics Look Normal

Investigate:

A slow user experience does not necessarily indicate an OAC infrastructure problem.
