⚙️ Oracle Analytics Cloud Metrics
Oracle Analytics Cloud exposes operational metrics through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Monitoring.
When authorized access is available, GermainUX can collect and analyze applicable OAC metrics.
Examples can include:
|
Metric |
|---|
|
Query Capacity Usage |
|
Data Source Connection Errors |
|
Other metrics exposed by the configured OAC and OCI environment |
Use these metrics to identify capacity, workload, and connectivity conditions affecting Oracle Analytics.
🔗 Data Source Connection Monitoring
Oracle Analytics Cloud depends on databases and other data sources.
GermainUX can help identify:
|
Issue |
|---|
|
Data source connection failures |
|
Slow connections |
|
API failures |
|
Database performance degradation |
|
Network issues |
|
Downstream dependency failures |
When GermainUX also monitors the underlying customer-controlled data source, OAC performance can be correlated with database and infrastructure telemetry.
☁️ Oracle Analytics REST API Monitoring
GermainUX Engine can monitor authorized Oracle Analytics Cloud REST APIs.
Depending on the required use case and permissions, monitor:
|
API Aspect |
|---|
|
API availability |
|
Response time |
|
HTTP status |
|
Authentication |
|
Failures |
|
Expected responses |
Oracle Analytics Cloud provides REST APIs for system information and operations involving content such as datasets, data flows, workbooks, snapshots, and other supported resources.
📦 Data Flow and Dataset Monitoring
When authorized OAC REST APIs or other approved monitoring sources expose the required information, GermainUX can monitor operational activity associated with:
|
Activity |
|---|
|
Data flows |
|
Dataset reloads |
|
Run history |
|
Latest execution |
|
Execution status |
|
Failures |
This can help identify background processing conditions affecting analytics availability or freshness.
Browser Error Monitoring
Detect browser-side issues affecting Oracle Analytics users, including:
|
Error Type |
|---|
|
JavaScript errors |
|
Browser console errors |
|
HTTP failures |
|
Failed network requests |
|
Resource-loading failures |
|
Browser freezes |
Correlate errors with the affected user, session, page, interaction, and analytics workflow.
🤖 Synthetic Monitoring
Use GermainUX RPA Bot Recorder to proactively test important Oracle Analytics Cloud workflows.
Examples include:
|
Test |
|---|
|
Login → Open Dashboard → Verify Dashboard |
|
Open Dashboard → Select Filters → Run Analysis → Verify Results |
|
Open Workbook → Execute Workflow → Verify Expected Content |
Synthetic monitoring can identify availability, performance, or functional problems before users report them.
Use authorized test accounts and safe test workflows.
🗄️ Data Source Monitoring
When GermainUX has authorized access to customer-controlled data sources used by Oracle Analytics Cloud, monitor them separately.
Examples include:
|
Source |
|---|
|
Oracle Database |
|
SQL Server |
|
MySQL |
|
Other supported databases |
|
APIs |
|
Network |
|
Cloud infrastructure |
This provides additional context for Root Cause Analysis.
🔍 Root Cause Analysis
Correlate Oracle Analytics user experience with available technical telemetry.
For example:
|
Symptom |
Possible Cause |
|---|---|
|
Slow Dashboard |
Slow Dashboard → Slow Query → Database Performance Degradation |
|
Dashboard Failure |
Dashboard Failure → Data Source Connection Error |
|
Slow User Interaction |
Slow User Interaction → High Query Capacity Usage |
|
Dataset Not Updated |
Dataset Not Updated → Dataset Reload Failure |
This helps teams move from identifying an affected user or dashboard to understanding the likely technical cause.

Instead, GermainUX can combine:
|
Source |
|---|
|
Browser telemetry |
|
Oracle Analytics Usage Tracking |
|
Oracle Analytics REST APIs |
|
OCI Monitoring metrics |
|
Customer-controlled data sources |
|
Synthetic transactions |
