Oracle DB Observability

​

Overview

GermainUX provides real-time Observability, Performance Monitoring, Analytics, Alerting, and Automation for Oracle Database. Monitor database availability, SQL performance, sessions, locks, connections, tablespaces, datafiles, redo and archive logs, backups, errors, and supporting infrastructure. GermainUX provides visibility across:

​

Database Availability

Continuously monitor Oracle Database availability and connectivity. GermainUX helps teams: For Oracle RAC environments, monitoring can cover the cluster or individual instances.

​

Database Performance

Monitor key Oracle Database performance metrics to identify bottlenecks and resource constraints. Analyze metrics associated with: Historical analytics help identify recurring performance degradation and capacity trends.

​

SQL Query Performance

Monitor SQL executed against Oracle Database. Analyze: Query telemetry helps identify database operations contributing to application performance degradation.

​

Sessions & Locks

Monitor active Oracle sessions and database locking conditions. GermainUX can help identify: This helps teams identify concurrency conditions affecting application transactions and database performance.

​

Database Connections

Monitor Oracle Database connection activity and utilization. Identify conditions such as: Connection monitoring helps identify application or database conditions affecting scalability and performance.

​

Open & Active Cursors

Monitor Oracle cursor activity. GermainUX provides KPIs for:

• Database Open Cursor Count
• Database Active Cursors

Cursor monitoring can help identify application or database behavior contributing to excessive resource utilization.

​

Tablespaces & Datafiles

Monitor Oracle tablespace and datafile capacity. Analyze: Proactive monitoring helps identify space-related conditions before they affect database availability or application processing.

​

Redo Log & Archive Log Monitoring

Monitor Oracle redo-log and archive-log activity. GermainUX can help teams analyze: This provides visibility into database activity related to transaction durability and recovery.

​

Backup & Recovery

Monitor Oracle backup and recovery processes. Analyze: This helps identify failed or incomplete backup activity before it becomes a recovery risk.

​

Database Errors & Alerts

Monitor Oracle Database errors, warnings, and diagnostic information. GermainUX can identify and analyze: Error telemetry can be correlated with SQL, session, resource, and application telemetry to accelerate troubleshooting.

​

Oracle RAC Monitoring

For Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC), GermainUX supports monitoring Oracle telemetry using the corresponding global GV$ system views. This enables monitoring across multiple Oracle instances rather than limiting analysis to a single database instance. Monitoring can be configured according to whether visibility is required at:

• Cluster level
• Individual instance level
• Both

​

Preconfigured Oracle Database KPIs

GermainUX provides Oracle Database KPIs including:

Show all 9

• Database Tablespace Utilization
• Database Open Cursor Count
• Database Active Cursors

Additional KPIs can be created according to the requirements of the Oracle environment.

​

Custom Oracle Query Monitoring

GermainUX can execute configurable SQL against Oracle Database. This allows monitoring to extend beyond preconfigured Oracle metrics. Custom Query Monitors can access permitted: This allows organizations to create application-specific database monitoring using the same GermainUX analytics and automation capabilities.

​

Detect Oracle Database Issues

GermainUX can detect conditions such as:

Show all 13

• Cursor growth
• Tablespace capacity issues
• Temporary-space issues
• Redo/archive-log conditions
• Database errors
• Backup failures
• Custom database conditions

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

​

Real-Time Dashboards & Automated Reports

Create dashboards and automated reports for Oracle Database telemetry. Examples include:

Show all 13

• Tablespaces
• Database size
• Redo/archive logs
• Errors
• Backup status
• RAC instances
• Custom database KPIs

Combine Oracle telemetry with application and infrastructure monitoring where broader operational context is required.

​

Alerts & SLA Monitoring

Configure SLAs and alerts for Oracle Database conditions requiring attention. For example:

Show all 9

• Excessive connections
• Database error detected
• Backup failure

Fact-based SLAs can trigger configured GermainUX actions.

​

Automation

Oracle Database conditions can trigger GermainUX automation. For example: Depending on the use case, automation can include:

​

Correlate Oracle with Applications & Infrastructure

Oracle Database telemetry can be combined with other technologies monitored by GermainUX. For example: For RAC: This helps teams determine whether degradation originates in the application, SQL, database instance, RAC environment, or supporting infrastructure.

​

Deployment

Oracle Database monitoring is executed by the GermainUX Engine. GermainUX provides an Oracle Database Server Wizard to help deploy Oracle monitoring. See Deploy Monitoring for Oracle Database for deployment instructions.
