OEM vs other monitoring tools (Solarwinds)

Can someone tell me the advantages of using OEM 12c as a monitoring tool over the Solarwinds product for Solaris systems?  I know OEM will also give management capabilities for databases, but strictly from a monitoring perspective will OEM catch things (hardware or software) that Solarwinds will not? 

Enterprise Manager 12c has numerous plugins and features that are not offered by the Solarwinds products.  EM12c is engineered to work with all of Oracle's products and works seamlessly to provide value where misc. products that cover one or two areas must have each data brought together in a third tool in attempts to solve issues and provide a full picture of the IT infrastructure.  I would contact your Oracle Sales rep to get a the best comparison to ensure you make the decision that will provide the most value for your company.
Thank you,
Kellyn

  • Layer 2 links netflow monitoring tools

    I am trying find Layer 2 netflow monitoring tools at the moment i have checked with solarwinds,manage engine they are not supporting layer2 interfaces netflow export.Is there any other monitoring tool opensource/closed source applications which can export cisco Layer 2 links.
    We are having nexus 7k and ASR1k devices
    Thanks for your help

    Hey Nick,
    The tricky part is getting the alert from consumed bandwidth. That will be handled from your NMS software of course. To answer your questions-
    #1 - You can use the interface OID in MIB-II. There may be a specific MIB on the 3G, but MIB-II should work just fine. You can check on the 3G MIB here: http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseOID.do?local=en
    #2 -  I think that would work. You would flow only your interface and send that to NMS. During an outage the router will hold the Netflow data, but I don't think it can push old stats after the primary link comes online. It would probably work if the outage was short but if it was longer, you would have to jump in the CLI and view the data there. I would lab it up, but I don't have any Netflow software

  • Oracle EPM 11.1.2.1 Monitoring tools

    Gurus,
    could you please let me know what are the available system monitoring or performance monitoring tools for oracle EPM 11.1.2.1 or in case licenses are involved what are the best key areas for manual procedures to monitor the system?
    Many thanks !

    Hello,
    Monitoring is a broad term. There are many 3rd party tools available that can provide monitoring, it all depends on what exactly you're looking for.
    Oracle has a document on setting up Oracle Enterprise Manager to monitor Hyperion Applications: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/sys9-oem-integration-1-129287.pdf. For performance monitoring, you can also look at this: https://blogs.oracle.com/pa/entry/epm_11_1_2_how3. This will basically connect to the JRockit JVM and look at the performance for the web application.
    If you want to do more monitoring (services, servers, processor, CPU), you can look into Hyperic HQ: http://www.hyperic.com/. They have both an open source version and an enterprise version. I've used the open source version myself and it is pretty good and plays well with Windows. You can see many metrics, graphics and information via the web based application. You can also setup email alerts on certain activities (service stop, service start) and also monitor website availability. For being an open source software, I think it offers alot and it is very reliable.
    Again, these are just a few suggestions. There are many tools out there that can accomplish what you're looking for.
    Regards,
    Luis

  • Please suggest DB monitoring tool

    Our DB have some performance issues, I need your suggestions to buy a DB monitoring tool to help us to resolve these problems.
    If you can share your experiences on the tool, it will be the best.

    Hi,
    We don't have enough knowledge on DB.In that case, beware of tools that make recommendations that you cannot understand . . .
    Some advanced monitoring tools can be cryptic for beginners.
    Is OEM or Statspack suitable to a beginner? Beware, the OEM diagnostic pack and the OEM performance pack are really expensive, over $6,000 per seat:
    http://www.dba-oracle.com/news_tuning_packs_price.htm
    Plus, consider 3rd party tuining tools.
    Historically, Oracle tools have had a bad reputation, and Oracle's Oracle Expert tool was widely criticized for making ridiculous tuning recommendations . .
    Everybody has a monitoring tool to plug, I even have a few that I wrote myself.
    There are a zilllion of them, but they all offer test drives, but try to find:
    - A monitoring tool that makes recommendations in plain English
    - A tool that is reasonably priced
    - A tool from a well-know vendor with a good track record
    Lastly, if you are not familiar with Oracle tuning, it may be better and cheaper to buy an Oracle health check.
    A guru can find tuning problems in just a few hours, faster and more efficient that using a tuning tool.
    Hope this helps . . .

  • Good Network Monitoring Tool

    Hello All,
    I work in a network that is poorly managed. Really POORLY MANAGED (9 sites, no documentation, disatater recovery no backup). The new mangers are doing their best to clean up the network.
    What is the best monitoring tool in the market other that Solarwinds?
    Regards
    Mike

    Well first thing is to generate some sort of layout or inventory. There was a good thread on how to do that over on Solarwinds' Thwack user forum earlier this year. It's not SolarWinds-specific so have a look there for starters.
    Once you've bounded your problem you can make a more informed decision with respect to tools to use going forward. For instance, if it's all Cisco, Prime LMS is a great tool. For small Cisco networks, Cisco Network Assistant and Cisco Configuration Professional offer some nice (and free) capabilities. For multivendor shops, SolarWinds Orion family (NPM, NTA, etc.) and IPSwitch What's Up Gold are two commonly used commercial products. If you're a bit Linux-savvy, you can pretty easily deploy a set of open-source tools (Nagios, Cacti and RANCID for fault, performance and configuration management respectively).
    With the exception of SolarWinds, the above are primaily network-focused. If you want to add servers and applicaitons, that's a bigger discussion.

  • Best proactive monitoring tool

    HI,
    Please advise the best network proactive monitoring tool, that can raise auto-alert tickets with Remedy software.
    Thanks

    1 Spotlight works in about the same fashion as Grid Control/OEM, so you need a database to store metrics
    2 Grid Control can also take care of Oracle patches, notifying you a patch has been released, and optionally install it, and even of O/S patches
    3 Spotlight is a product of a third party, so it will always be less tightly integrated with Oracle
    4 The Grid Control is interfaced by means of a browser, whereas Spotlight needs a fat client. If you want to have Spotlight on multiple systems, you have to buy it multiple times.

  • Coherence monitoring tools

    Hi
    My project is currently in the process of evaulating monitoring tools for Coherence (v3.3+) and are currently looking at RtView (SL) and Clearstone Live (Evident). We would like to know if Oracle already has (or are planning to have) a monitoring tool for Coherence?
    Regards
    Jonas

    Oracle Enterprise Manager (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/oem/ent_mgr/sys_mgmt.html) is developing a management pack for coherence. You will need to check with the Enterprise Manager Team for the release date (late Q4 or Q1 2009).
    Another monitoring option is the Coherence Reporter in version 3.4 (http://wiki.tangosol.com/display/COH34UG/JMX+Reporter).

Even its also cost option.
    But preferably GRID EM
    or you can look at some other vendor tools http://www.dbvisit.com/products/dbvisit_standby_database_for_oracle_disaster_recovery/

  • Monitoring tool for SunFire V210

    Hello,
    We are running a couple of SunFire V210. These servers are doing their job and we never have to touch them, this is the main reason why we have no expertise on these servers.
    One of the servers indicators is actually yellow, so I reckon I must have some Hardware issue with it. Is there any monitoring tool available on Solaris to perform a diagnostic (equivalent od Dell OpenManage on Dell server)?
    Thanks a lot for your time.
    Fred

    There is no "best" monitoring tool for AS. It all depends on what your shop is using currently for monitoring of other servers / services. You could monitor your AS using AS Control, but it doesn't send you any alerts etc. OEM might be a good choice, but not if you have to install (and but) it for one server etc. etc.
