Configuring Monitoring & Automation for OBIEE

Configure Monitoring for OBIEE Configure GermainUX monitoring for OBIEE to tailor user-experience monitoring, server monitoring, JVM visibility, Java profiling, logs, analytics, privacy, alerts, automation, dashboards, and reports.

​

Configure the Application

Configure the OBIEE application so collected telemetry is associated with the correct environment. Use consistent application naming across: Consistent application identification is particularly important when correlating user, browser, JVM, log, and server telemetry.

​

Configure Real User Monitoring

Configure Real User Monitoring for the OBIEE application where actual user experience needs to be captured. Review the UX Monitoring Profile associated with OBIEE and configure the browser telemetry required for the application. Depending on the monitoring requirements, this can include: Collect only the information required for the monitoring use case.

​

Configure Session Monitoring

Configure how OBIEE user sessions are captured and analyzed. Session-level monitoring can help identify: Use session context to connect affected users with application and infrastructure telemetry.

​

Configure Web Server Monitoring

Configure monitoring for the web server supporting OBIEE. Monitor the technical conditions required by your environment, including:

• Availability
• Response time
• Performance

Define thresholds according to the expected behavior of the OBIEE web tier.

​

Configure JVM Monitoring

Configure JVM monitoring for the Java runtime supporting OBIEE. Depending on the required scope, monitor: Configure monitoring frequencies and thresholds appropriate for the OBIEE environment.

​

Configure Java Code Profiling

Enable Java code profiling when execution-level troubleshooting is required. Use profiling to analyze: Because profiling provides deeper technical visibility, enable the level of profiling appropriate for the troubleshooting or performance-analysis requirement.

​

Configure Log Monitoring

Configure the OBIEE logs GermainUX should monitor. Identify logs containing operational information such as: Configure parsing and categorization according to the log format and monitoring requirements. Avoid collecting unnecessary sensitive information from log content.

​

Configure Server Monitoring

Configure monitoring for the server infrastructure supporting OBIEE. Select the infrastructure telemetry relevant to determining the health and performance of the environment. Server telemetry should be correlated with OBIEE application and JVM behavior where appropriate.

​

Configure Synthetic Monitoring

Where synthetic monitoring is deployed, configure representative OBIEE user journeys. Focus on critical workflows that provide meaningful validation of application availability and usability. Synthetic transactions can complement Real User Monitoring by validating important application journeys proactively.

​

Configure KPIs

Configure KPIs for the OBIEE conditions important to your environment. Examples include:

Show all 10

• Garbage Collection
• Java Execution Time
• Error Count
• User Experience Performance

Create custom KPIs where the default monitoring does not represent the operational condition you need to measure.

​

Configure SLAs

Define SLA conditions for OBIEE KPIs requiring threshold-based monitoring. For example: OBIEE Availability < Expected Level Response Time > Threshold JVM Memory > Threshold Java Execution Time > Threshold Critical Errors > 0 Configure thresholds according to the expected behavior of the environment.

​

Configure Categorization

Configure categorization to group OBIEE telemetry into meaningful operational categories. Categorization can be used for: This simplifies analytics, dashboards, reports, and alerting.

​

Configure Correlation

Configure correlation across the OBIEE technology stack. For example: or: or: Correlation helps teams move from user impact to the technical conditions occurring within the same application flow.

​

Configure Data Privacy

Review telemetry captured from the OBIEE application and supporting components. Configure masking, anonymization, or exclusion where required for:

• Report content
• Log content
• Other sensitive information

Apply privacy rules before collecting sensitive production data.

​

Configure Alerts

Configure alerts for conditions requiring operational attention. Examples include: Configure appropriate:

​

Configure Automation

Configure GermainUX automation for OBIEE conditions where an operational response is appropriate. For example: Automation can include:

​

Configure Dashboards

Create dashboards combining the OBIEE telemetry relevant to each audience. Examples include:

Show all 9

• Errors and exceptions
• Server health
• SLA status

For technical troubleshooting, combine user and backend telemetry within the same operational view.

​

Configure Automated Reports

Configure automated reports for OBIEE operational and performance monitoring. Reports can summarize: Configure schedules and recipients according to the intended audience.

​

Validate the Configuration

Execute representative OBIEE activity and verify the monitoring capabilities enabled for your environment. Depending on configuration, verify:

Show all 18

• Logs
• Server telemetry
• Synthetic transactions
• KPIs
• SLAs
• Categorization
• Correlation
• Privacy rules
• Alerts
• Automation
• Dashboards
• Reports

Also verify that the configured monitoring introduces acceptable overhead for the OBIEE environment.

​

Advanced Configuration

OBIEE monitoring can be extended using the underlying GermainUX monitoring capabilities for: Use the corresponding technical configuration documentation when deeper component-level configuration is required.
