Oracle E-Business Suite Monitoring 
Oracle EBS - An Overview
Oracle E-Business Suite (Oracle EBS) monitor allows you to monitor the availability and performance of Oracle EBS from a centralized web console. Data of Oracle E-Business Suite are collected using DMS stands for Dynamic Monitoring Service (a web application which get data from the fusion middleware components). Data that is created and updated by DMS-enabled applications and components is accessible through the DMS Spy Servlet. Only users having administrator rights can access this servlet.
Creating a new Oracle EBS monitor
Oracle EBS Versions Supported: R11i, R12.0, R12.1.3, R12.2.0, R12.2.5 & above.
Prerequisites for monitoring Oracle EBS: Applications Manager uses the Dynamic Monitoring Service (DMS) provided by Oracle Application Server to monitor the same. For this reason, the DMS Servlet has to be made accessible to the system where the Applications Manager is running. Refer Prerequisites Section.

Follow the steps given below to create a new Oracle EBS monitor in Applications Manager:
- Go to New Monitor. Click on Oracle EBS.
- Enter Display Name.
- Provide Host Name & Port.
- Select the EBS Server Version - R11i, R12.0, R12.1.3, R12.2.0, 12.2.5 & above.
- If you select Version R12.2.0/R12.1.3/R12.2.5 & above, a username and password details are mandatory. You can enter your own credential details or select preconfigured credentials details in Credentials Manager. If you wish to enter your own credentials, specify username and password details for this monitor.
- For version R12.1.3, you will have to specify whether SSL is enabled, the instance name(service name) and concurrent request filter. Concurrent request filter can be selected from the drop down list which holds values such as pending, running and inactive.
- Choose SSL Enabled checkbox if SSL authentication is enabled on the server connection channel.
- Enter the polling interval time in minutes.
- If you are adding a new monitor from an Central Server, select a Probe Server.
- Choose the Monitor Group from the combo box to which you want to associate the Monitor (optional). You can choose multiple groups to associate your monitor.
- Click Add Monitor(s). Upon adding the Oracle EBS monitor, you can view the details of the newly added Oracle monitor.

- Running -The WebLogic Server is fully functional, offers its services to clients, and can operate as a full member of a cluster.
- Admin - In the ADMIN state, WebLogic Server is up and running, but available only for administration operations, allowing you to perform server and application-level administration tasks.
- StandBy - The WebLogic Server instance transitions from SHUTDOWN to STANDBY. A server instance in STANDBY does not process any request—its regular Listen Port is closed.

- Shutting_Down - The WebLogic Server is in the process of shutting down.
- Failed - A running server instance can fail as a result of out-of-memory exceptions or stuck application threads, or if one or more critical services become dysfunctional.
