Oracle Cloud Networking Services Monitoring
Oracle Cloud Networking services form the backbone of secure and reliable connectivity within and beyond your cloud environment. These services enable private compute instances to access the internet and other Oracle Cloud services while maintaining strict security boundaries. Monitoring Oracle Cloud Networking services is essential to ensure consistent connectivity, optimal data transfer performance, and the early detection of issues that can affect application availability and business continuity.
Applications Manager provides comprehensive monitoring capabilities for Oracle Cloud Networking services, enabling you to track performance metrics, traffic patterns, packet health, and connection status across your Oracle Cloud networking resources from a single console. Applications Manager supports monitoring of following Oracle Cloud Networking services:
Oracle Cloud Load Balancer monitoring
Oracle Cloud Load Balancer is a fully managed OCI service that automatically distributes incoming traffic across multiple backend servers, preventing server overload and enhancing application performance, scalability, and availability. It supports both public and private deployments with SSL termination, health monitoring, and connection persistence. Applications Manager's Oracle Cloud Load Balancer monitoring provides in-depth visibility into traffic distribution, backend server health, connection statistics, and SSL metrics, enabling you to ensure seamless application delivery and proactively resolve performance issues.
With Applications Manager, you can:
- Monitor Inbound Requests and Active Connections to track traffic patterns, detect anomalies, and ensure efficient load distribution across backend servers.
- Track the Rate of Incoming and Outgoing Data along with total data volumes to measure bandwidth usage, prevent network bottlenecks, and optimize resource allocation.
- Monitor SSL health by tracking Accepted and Failed SSL Handshakes and Failed Client SSL Certificate Verifications to detect misconfigurations and potential security vulnerabilities.
- Gain deep visibility into backend set performance, including HTTP response codes (2xx, 3xx, 4xx, 5xx), connection counts, backend timeouts, and backend server health to proactively identify failures and balance server allocation.
- Monitor the overall Load Balancer Health status and backend sets health distribution alongside the Life Cycle State for immediate awareness of availability and configuration changes.
Oracle Cloud NAT Gateway monitoring
Oracle Cloud NAT Gateway is a managed networking component within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) that enables private instances, those without public IP addresses, to initiate outbound connections to the internet or other OCI services, while preventing unsolicited inbound connections from the internet. Applications Manager provides complete visibility into data transfer rates, packet handling, connection tracking, and availability metrics for your NAT gateways, helping you ensure optimal network performance and quickly identify potential bottlenecks.
With Applications Manager, you can:
- Monitor the rate of incoming/outgoing data and total data volumes to track bandwidth usage, support capacity planning, and optimize OCI data transfer costs.
- Track packet-level traffic by monitoring incoming/outgoing packet rates as well as total packet counts to understand traffic distribution and detect abnormal spikes or drops in real time.
- Detect and categorize packet drops across throttling, NAT port exhaustion, and other causes, and monitor the overall Packet Drop Rate to identify and resolve network bottlenecks before they affect users.
- Monitor connection health by tracking Established Connections, Closed Connections, and Timed Out Connections to identify capacity constraints and application misconfigurations early.
- Track the Life Cycle State and the associated Public IP Address of each NAT gateway for immediate awareness of availability changes.
