OBIEE Observability

📊 Monitor OBIEE User Experience, Performance & Reliability with GermainUX

👀 What GermainUX Monitors

Monitor actual user interactions with OBIEE while correlating the experience with the underlying web server, JVM, Java code, logs, and server performance.

🔗 End-to-end Visibility

👥 Real User Monitoring

Monitor how actual users experience OBIEE.

GermainUX captures user sessions, actions, and navigation within the OBIEE application to provide visibility into:

• User activity

• User navigation

• Application usage

• User sessions

• Application responsiveness

• User experience

This helps teams understand not only whether OBIEE is operational, but how it is actually performing for users.

🎥 Session-Level Analysis

Analyze individual OBIEE user sessions to understand the sequence of actions leading to slowdowns, errors, or other experience issues.

Session-level telemetry helps connect an affected user with the technical conditions occurring during the same period.

⏱️ OBIEE Performance Monitoring

Monitor OBIEE availability, uptime, and performance.

GermainUX helps identify conditions affecting the responsiveness and reliability of the OBIEE environment.

Performance can be analyzed alongside actual user activity to determine whether technical degradation is affecting users.

🌐 Web Server Monitoring

Monitor the web server supporting the OBIEE application.

Analyze:

• Availability

• Response time

• Performance

• Operational health

Web-server telemetry provides an additional layer of context when investigating slow or unavailable OBIEE experiences.

☕ JVM Monitoring

Monitor the Java Virtual Machine supporting OBIEE.

GermainUX can monitor JVM telemetry such as:

• CPU usage

• Memory allocation

• Garbage collection

• Thread count

• JVM performance

This helps identify Java runtime conditions contributing to OBIEE performance degradation.

🔬 Java Code Real-Time Profiling

Profile Java code executing within the OBIEE environment in real time.

Analyze:

• Function execution time

• CPU consumption

• Memory allocation

• Thread usage

Code profiling helps identify Java execution bottlenecks contributing to application performance issues.

📋 Log Monitoring

Capture and analyze logs generated by the OBIEE environment.

Detect:

• Errors

• Warnings

• Exceptions

• Recurring operational conditions

Log telemetry can be correlated with application performance, JVM behavior, and user activity to accelerate troubleshooting.

🖥️ Server Monitoring

Monitor the server infrastructure supporting OBIEE.

GermainUX provides visibility into the availability and performance of the OBIEE server environment so infrastructure conditions can be analyzed alongside application behavior.

🔍 Root Cause & User Impact

Correlate OBIEE user experience with supporting technology.

For example:

Slow User Action → OBIEE → Web Server → JVM

or:

User Error → OBIEE Session → Application Log Error

or:

Slow OBIEE Response → Java Execution → JVM Resource Condition

This helps teams determine whether an issue originates in the user-facing application, web tier, Java runtime, code, or supporting server.

🚨 Detect Issues in Real Time

GermainUX can help identify conditions such as:

• OBIEE unavailable

• Slow application response

• Web server unavailable or slow

• JVM performance degradation

• Java execution bottleneck

• Error, warning, or exception

• Server performance degradation

Detected conditions can be analyzed, alerted on, reported, or used to trigger operational actions.

📊 Real-Time Dashboards & Automated Reports

Analyze OBIEE telemetry using customizable real-time dashboards and automated reports.

Examples include:

• User activity

• User sessions

• OBIEE availability

• Application performance

• Web server performance

• JVM performance

• Java profiling

• Errors and exceptions

• Server health

• Historical trends

Combine user-experience and technical telemetry to provide a unified operational view of OBIEE.

🔔 Alerts & SLA Monitoring

Configure alerts and SLA thresholds for conditions requiring attention.

For example:

• OBIEE unavailable

• Response time exceeds threshold

• Web server unavailable

• JVM resource threshold exceeded

• Critical error detected

• Java execution exceeds expected duration

Configure thresholds according to the expected behavior of each OBIEE environment.

⚙️ Automation

OBIEE monitoring conditions can trigger GermainUX automation.

For example:

Monitor → Detect → Analyze → Alert → Automate

Depending on the use case, automation can include:

• Notifications

• Reports

• Scripts

• Operational workflows

• Remediation actions where appropriate

🔗 End-to-End Operational Experience

GermainUX combines user experience and technical monitoring across the OBIEE stack.

User → Browser → OBIEE → Web Server → JVM / Java → Server

This allows teams to answer two important questions:

What did the OBIEE user experience?

and:

What technical condition contributed to it?

🔧 Deployment

GermainUX provides an OBIEE Server Wizard to simplify deployment of OBIEE monitoring.

Depending on the required monitoring scope, GermainUX can use:

• Engine

• RUM JS

• RUM Browser Extension

• JS Profiler

• RPA Bot Recorder

See Deploy Monitoring for OBIEE for deployment instructions.
