42. Proxy server - A proxy server is a dedicated computer or a software system running
on a computer that acts as an intermediary between an endpoint device, such as a
computer, and another server from which a user or client is requesting a service. The
proxy server may exist in the same machine as a firewall server or it may be on a
separate server, which forwards requests through the firewall. An advantage of a
proxy server is that its cache can serve all users. If one or more Internet sites are
frequently requested, these are likely to be in the proxy's cache, which will improve
user response time. A proxy can also log its interactions, which can be helpful for
troubleshooting.
43. Reverse Proxy The reverse proxy technique allows browsers to find a way through the
customer firewall that is open for access only to the Oracle Collector. The browser will

Garbage Collection Issues: From here, you can identify your server applications which are
over the garbage collection limit. A long garbage collection period could affect the amount of
time server requests have to wait in queue before they are fulfilled by the application server.
The threshold limit for garbage collection is set
by the application, and is not user-defined. The application presents you with a finding based
on the collected data. Following is an example of an application finding.
12haveJDKversion1.8.0_60.
23haveincreasingRequestRate

According to this finding, based on the collected data, 12 of your application

servers which are over the garbage collection limit have the JDK version 1.8.0_60,
which might be causing problems. Also, 23 of your application servers have an
increasing request rate.
Heap Issues: From here, you can view the application servers with a heap usage
above a specified percentage. The application provides you with insights or
findings based on the available data. Following is an example of an application
insight.
21haveHeapSizeabove40GB.
23haveanincreasingRequestRate

According to this finding, based on the collected data, 21 of your application

servers a high heap size of above 40GB. Also, 23 of your application servers have
an increasing request rate.

Availability: From here, you can view the critical events across your application
servers. If no server is down, then the application lets you know that there are no
critical events across your application servers.
Memory Issues: In some cases, issues with host performance can affect the
performance of your application server.
Workload Performance: From here, you can drill down to view information
specific to the performance of selected servers. For more information, see
Analyzing Application Server Workload Performance. Following is an example of
an application finding related to workload performance.

5 Notes

You can select multiple file parsers for the log files. This is particularly helpful
when a log file has entries with different syntax and cant be parsed by a
single parser

The Extended Fields feature in Log Analytics enables you to extract additional
fields
from a log entry, in addition to the fields defined by the out-of-the-box
parsers.

If you use automatic parsing (See Using the Generic Parser) that only parsers
time, then extended field definition is based on the Original Log Content
field, because that is the only field that will exist in the log results.

Data masking works on continuous log monitoring as well as on Syslog

listeners

Log Analytics enables you to add labels or tags to log entries, based on
defined
conditions.
You can use patterns to specify a condition. When a log entry matches that
condition,
the label associated with the pattern is displayed alongside the log entry.

Syslog is a commonly used standard for logging system event messages. The

destination of these messages can include system console, files, remote

Syslog servers,
or relays.

Syslog monitoring in Log Analytics allows you to listen to multiple hosts and
ports.
The protocols supported are TCP and UDP.

You can create alert rules based on saved searches by specifying the
threshold, time
range, and recipient of the email notification. When the search criteria meets
the
threshold value over the specified time interval, an alert is generated and an
email
notification is sent to the specified recipient

Log Analytics displays Target Entity Card that lets you access information
related to
specifics target easily in the form of a histogram. This helps you to access
targetrelated
information easily instead of navigating to other views or performing a
separate search.
A Target Entity Card displays a targets status and associated log records (in
form of a
histogram), and provides a link to Data Explorer of IT Analytics (to view and
analyze
the target).
You can access Data Explorer either directly from the Oracle Management Cloud
home page, or through a dashboard.
When you access Data Explorer from a dashboard, the filters and visualization
settings
are already loaded. However, when you access Data Explorer directly, you have to
build your analysis from the beginning

When you save your analysis, you are saving:

Fiters: These are specific values or ranges for values that you select for attributes.
Based on the values you select, data is filtered out from the search results. For
example, a specific target type or target name.
Visualization options: This is the way in which you choose the data to be
represented. For example, histogram or treemap.
Analysis: This is the mode of analysis that you select. For example, trending and

forecasting.

Dashboards are a collection of widgets on a single page to enable quick access to

multiple data analyses.
A dashboard may contain one or more widgets. The dashboards appear on the
Dashboards page of IT Analytics

Analyze Database Activity View database activity in

terms of Wait, I/O, and CPU
usage across your enterprise
databases

Analyze Database Workload Analyze the trend of

incoming SQL queries that
are the biggest consumers of
database time. View changes
over time, to detect changes
in database workload

I/O: View the I/O statistics collected from your databases. Use this trend for
scheduling jobs and I/O provisioning.
Wait: View how much of the database activity is consumed by waiting for a
resource such as disk I/O. High levels of wait time could signify a performance
issue.

you add targets from analysis target page by clicking on add and select analysis targetsfrom
drop down list

Based on the relationship between target types, there may be targets related to the
target that you selected. Analysis wont be complete unless you add the related
targets.

To view the related targets for the selected targets, select the Group by Initial

Selection check box. The display changes to two panes with the selected targets on top and
the related targets below

6 Definitions
Reads or writes of data performed on a disk by software programs generate what is
called disk I/O. Software applications and database performance is inherently limited
by disk I/O.
The physical data files, logs and other files used by a database are controlled by the
database storage subsystem. The database storage utilization shows the amount of
disk space used by a database or various logical units within the database.
The database interconnect refers to the high-speed, low latency dedicated
communication link between the nodes of a database cluster, for example between the
nodes of an Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) environment

A WebLogic domain is a logically related group of WebLogic Server resources.

Domains include a special WebLogic Server instance called the Administration
Server, which is the central point from which you configure and manage all resources
in the domain. Usually, you configure a domain to include additional WebLogic
Server instances called Managed Servers. You deploy Web applications, EJBs, and
other resources onto the Managed Servers and use the Administration Server for
configuration and management purposes only.
Oracle Home refers to a directory where Oracle products are installed, pointed to by
an environment variable. Multiple active Oracle Homes can exist on the same host.
WebLogic Server is Oracles Java EE application server, part of Oracle Fusion
Middleware suite of products, used for building and deploying enterprise
applications.
A WebLogic Server cluster consists of multiple WebLogic Server instances running
simultaneously and working together to provide increased scalability and reliability.

A data explorer, in the context of Oracle Cloud Services, is an interface that allows you
to explore collected IT operational data, perform forecasting and trending and
customize the display of this data and save it for future use. In this case, views of
saved searches are called widgets and a collection of custom widgets can form a
dashboard.

A data explorer target is the entity whose data is being collected, for example the
Oracle WebLogic Server. Targets can be of various types, for example the Oracle
WebLogic Server is a Middleware type of target.
Data collected from various targets is in the form of metrics

The Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor (ADDM), built into the Oracle

database, analyzes the Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) data on a regular

basis, diagnoses the root causes of performance problems, provides recommendations
for correcting any problems, and identified non-problem areas of the system.
Automatic Workload Repository (AWR), part of an Oracle database, collects,
processes, and maintains performance statistics for problem detection and self-tuning
purposes. This data is both in memory and stored in the database.
Garbage collection, built into many programming languages, is an automatic way of
managing the memory available to various objects. The garbage collection mechanism
tracks objects still being used, marks the objects no longer in use as garbage and
through the process of garbage collection, it automatically frees up the memory for use
by other objects. In the case of Java, garbage collection is done within the Java Virtual
Machine environment.

Garbage collection overhead refers to the additional resources, processing time, used
by the garbage collection mechanism.
Software applications can choose to implement various Garbage collection types
depending on the performance goals. In Java, for example, developers can choose to
implement garbage collection of type singe threaded (serial), multi-threaded (parallel),
concurrent mark then sweep (CMS) or parallel collection in multiple memory zones.
Each method uses various resources and CPU time, affecting the overall application
performance.
The heap, for example in the Java heap, is a repository of Java objects. The heap is the
sum of active objects, dead objects (marked for garbage collection) and free memory.
Heap size tuning in Java refers to minimizing the time that the Java Virtual Machine
(JVM) spends doing garbage collection while maximizing the number of clients that
the application server can handle at a given time. A Heap map provides the memory
details of a given process.

Oracle Home refers to a directory where Oracle products are installed, pointed to by
an environment variable. Multiple active Oracle Homes can exist on the same host.

Targets are entities such as host machines, databases, and Fusion Middleware
components, which can be managed and monitored in Oracle Enterprise Manager
Cloud Control.
A log source is a named group of log files. The files that belong to this group can be
configured using patterns such as /var/log/ssh*. A log source can be associated
with one or more parsers.

A log entity is the actual name of a log file.

A parser is a named entity used to define how to parse all log entries in a log source
and extract field information. It uses one or multiple parse expressions and a log entry
delimiter to parse all log entries in a Log Source. It also specifies how the parsed
content is converted into fields.
A parse expression is the regular expression used to parse a log entry
