•Discover the required BI Instance & Essbase targets.

•BI instance and Essbase targets are automatically discovered when you discover the weblogic domain that they are part of.

•BI instance and Essbase targets may be part of - an undiscovered weblogic domain or - It could be new or modified weblogic domain

6 •Monitor the BI instance & Essbase targets from EM12c

Performance Management

1. Use Case –

Average Query Time


Performance Management Performance Management

CPU & Memory Usage

CPU Usage (%) with

Time

Memory Usage(MB) with Time

Response and Load

Average Query Time

Server Queries per

Second

Completed Requests per

second


Use Case –

Average Query Time

Business Requirement

• BI Average query response time should be less than 2 minutes.

• System should be able to track this & on breach of threshold values raise alerts

Solution

• In EM12c, Average Query Time metric can be used.

• Alerts will be generated, if Average Query time, is more than 2 minutes.


Use Case –

Average Query Time

• Click on BI Server -> Monitoring -> Metric and Collection Settings


Use Case –

Average Query Time • Enter Average Query Time (seconds) as shown in this image


• In Corrective Actions -> Click Add (next to Warning)

Use Case –

Average Query Time


6 types of Corrective Actions are possible

• Fusion Middleware Process Control

• OS command – Execute a script on OS

• Multi-Task

• Reuse Action

• From Library – Execute a script stored from library

• Agent Response Action

Use Case –

Average Query Time


In Fusion Middleware Process Control Corrective Action • Enter the required details on the screens

Use Case –

Average Query Time


Use Case –

Average Query Time • Warning and Critical Corrective Action is created


Performance Management

2. Use Case –

Resource Usage



• User reported that sometime a specific report runs fast and sometimes it is very slow

• After further analysis we observed this happens only during peak load time.

Solution

• In EM12c, BI Presentation Server Resource metric can be used to monitor resource usage

• We can monitor the usage of Server resources.

Use Case –

Resource Usage


Use Case –

Resource Usage • Enter CPU % and Memory Usage in MB

• These alerts can vindicate, if horizontal or vertical scaling is required for the BI

infrastructure


Use Case –

Resource Usage


Proactive Management

3. Use Case –

Failed Logins


Define Metric

Thresholds

Set collection schedule

Generate Alerts

Create Incidents

Manage Incidents

Proactive Management



• Business requirement is to monitor any failed login attempts

• This will also help in monitoring of any malicious attacks

Solution

• We will use EM12c to set Failed Logins Metric

• Alert will be generated whenever the Failed Logins attempts is more than 3 in one second.

Use Case – Failed Logins



Click on obips1 -> Monitoring -> Metrics and Collection Settings


Edit Metric Value for Failed Logins



Use Case – Failed Logins Auto alert and Incident has been created


Performance Tuning

4. Use Case

BI Performance Summary


Problem Statement

• BI Performance Metrics Comparison of two time slices

• For eg compare metrics (say, Active Sessions) of today vs Tomorrow

Solution

• On the BI performance Summary page

• Use the Overlay Feature to view & compare the metrics

• And store as named charts

• Automated analysis is possible

Use Case – BI Performance Summary


BI Performance Summary

• Click BI Coreapplication -> Monitoring -> Performance Summary


BI Performance Summary • Performance Summary Page is seen, Click on Metric Palette to view all metrics

• Drag and drop metrics from palette to the graph or select


BI Performance Summary Page

(Overlay feature) • Click On Overlay to view Today with Yesterday metrics etc

• Save Chart Set to view the configured data later


Performance Tuning

5. Use Case –

Compare Configurations


Problem Statement

• Compare production & non-production BI instances

Solution

• Use Compare Configuration metric

Use Case – Compare Configurations


Use Case – Compare Configurations • Click on Configuration -> Compare… and then enter First BI Farm details


Use Case – Compare Configurations • Enter second farm details and comparison template details, if any


Use Case – Compare Configurations

• The Job has completed successfully

• The details are also sent over email


Performance Tuning

6. Use Case –

Connection Pool Usage


Use Case –

Connection Pool Usage

Problem Statement

• User is experiencing delay in dashboard response time.

• OBI Dashboard users reported that the dashboard response time is slow during specific time period of day.

• After further analysis we observed this happens only during peak load time.

Solution

• We decided to monitor the usage of connection pool.

• We will use OEM12c DBConnectionPool metric to monitor connection pool usage.


Use Case –

Connection Pool Usage Click on obips1 -> Monitoring -> Metrics and Collection Settings


Use Case –

Connection Pool Usage Enter Oracle BI DB Connection Pool metric details


Performance Tuning

7. Use Case –

Log File Monitoring


Use Case –
