# Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Monitoring Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) acts as the backbone for enterprise workloads, offering the control needed to manage servers, applications, storage, networks, and data centers efficiently. Oracle Cloud services such as IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, and DaaS are used to build, deploy, integrate, and extend applications in the cloud. Tracking key components of your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure will give you deep insights into the health and availability of your resources, so you can optimize the performance of Oracle Cloud applications, and respond to anomalies in real time. Applications Manager's **Oracle Cloud Infrastructure monitoring** solution provides fine-grain visibility into every component of your Oracle Cloud environment, enabling you to optimize the performance of business-critical Oracle Cloud services. ## Track key performance metrics with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) monitoring. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure offers support for various products, such as Compute, Storage, Networks, Security, Database Management, Analytics and Big Data, and more. Applications Manager's OCI monitoring tool will give you granular insight into its compute capabilities. With Applications Manager's OCI monitoring service, you can: - [Seamlessly monitor OCI compute instances](#seamlessly-monitor) - [Analyze CPU, memory details, and resource utilization](#memory-details) - [Monitor boot volume performance and availability](#boot-volumes) - [Effectively track block volumes and storage throughput](#block-volumes) - [Achieve maximum network efficiency in VCNs](#network-efficiency) - [Troubleshoot OCI issues quickly and analyze performance trends](#resolve-issues) ### Seamlessly monitor OCI compute instances ![Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Monitoring Dashboard showing compute metrics](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/images/oci-monitoring01.webp) Oracle Cloud Infrastructure compute lets you provision and manage compute hosts known as instances. Tracking OCI monitoring metrics such as the health, capacity, and performance of your Oracle instances will help you ensure that they're always up and running. It also lets you create virtual machine and bare-metal instances that will run your business-critical instances with high availability. The shapes of bare-metal and virtual machine instances depend on multiple parameters, such as memory, CPU cores, network bandwidth, etc. - **Bare-metal compute:** Bare-metal compute instances support applications requiring high core units, copious amounts of memory, and high memory bandwidth. Applications Manager helps you ensure that bare-metal compute instances provide unparalleled visibility, control, and isolation to end users. - **Virtual machines:** Virtual machine instances can run on the same type of servers as bare-metal instances. You can run multiple VMs that are isolated from each other. Leverage VMs of different sizes to cater to varied workloads. Explore our broader capabilities for virtualized environments, including **[cloud monitoring](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/cloud-monitoring.html?oci)** strategies that span beyond just OCI. ### Analyze CPU, memory details, and resource utilization ![OCI Monitoring Service - ManageEngine Applications Manager](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/images/oci-monitoring02.webp) ![Real-time CPU and Memory utilization graphs in OCI monitoring tool](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/images/oci-monitoring03.webp) Oracle Cloud Infrastructure uses "shapes" as templates to determine the number of CPUs and amount of memory allocated to newly created instances. Achieve an optimal trade-off between resource allocation and performance by selecting a shape that meets the requirements of your workload. Adjust the number of compute instances in an instance pool by tracking key performance metrics like CPU and memory utilization. Our Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) monitoring also helps keep track of critical metrics like disk read, disk write, and more. ### Monitor boot volume performance and availability ![Boot volume status and throughput analytics in Applications Manager](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/images/oci-monitoring04.webp) New boot volumes are created for instances when you launch a virtual machine or bare-metal instance based on custom images. With Oracle Cloud management capability, measure the volume and throughput operations of your compute instances, track volume statuses to understand and manage potential data inconsistencies, effortlessly specify boot volume size, and receive alerts when thresholds are violated. ### Effectively track block volumes and storage throughput ![Oracle Block Volume performance metrics and storage analysis](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/images/oci-monitoring05.webp) Oracle block volumes add storage capacity to an instance and enable you to dynamically provision and manage data. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure helps you create, attach, connect, and move volumes, enabling you to meet your storage and application requirements. Employ Applications Manager's OCI Monitoring tool to migrate data between instances, and ensure that your data is safely stored even when it's not connected to an instance. Perform volume backups and retain them based on selected backup policies; get a granular view of business critical metrics like volume read/write throughputs, volume read/write operations, etc. ### Achieve maximum network efficiency in VCNs ![Virtual Network Interface Card (VNIC) traffic analysis for OCI](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/images/oci-monitoring06.webp) Track VNIC (Virtual Network Interface Cards) to determine how an instance connects with endpoints inside and outside VCNs (Virtual Cloud Networks). Keep tabs on the number of network requests sent across each instance, and perform source/destination checks on network traffic. Identify changes in traffic due to security violations by proactively monitoring the number of packets dropped during transmission and reception with Oracle Cloud application performance monitoring abilities of Applications Manager. ### Troubleshoot OCI issues quickly and analyze performcance trends ![Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Application Performance Monitoring - ManageEngine Applications Manager](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/images/oci-monitoring07.webp) Applications Manager's **Oracle Cloud monitoring tool** will help you automatically detect anomalies before they affect your customers, identify the root cause of various issues and troubleshoot them quickly, notify you instantly in case of errors, and escalate issues through email or SMS. Our Oracle Cloud monitoring dashboard helps you understand capacity utilization and growth trends with machine learning (ML)-enabled analytics. ## Unified hybrid cloud visibility While **Oracle Cloud Infrastructure monitoring** is vital for your OCI resources, modern enterprises often operate in hybrid or multi-cloud environments. Applications Manager extends its capabilities beyond just OCI. It provides a holistic view of your entire IT landscape, allowing you to correlate OCI performance metrics with on-premise servers, other cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP), and legacy ERP systems. - **Full Stack Dependency Mapping:** Understand how your OCI compute instances interact with on-premise databases or third-party APIs. - **Capacity Planning:** Use historical data from your OCI environment to forecast future resource needs, preventing bottlenecks before they impact end-users. - **SLA Management:** Ensure your Oracle Cloud services meet agreed-upon Service Level Agreements with comprehensive availability reports. By leveraging Applications Manager, you gain a unified platform for [infrastructure monitoring](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/converged-infrastructure-monitoring.html), ensuring that whether your data resides in a bare-metal OCI instance or a local data center, you have complete visibility and control. ## Meet all your IT infrastructure monitoring needs in one place!
