Adding Targets and checking Database Performance in OEM 13.4

After my recent OEM 13.4 Installation I needed to start adding targets to it.

Like previously, I just followed Oracle-Base article to complete the same: Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13c Post-Installation Setup Tasks

I added the Software Library location in the OEM host, but skipped the MOS configuration and Update, to go directly to add Agents and Targets

Install Agents

Let's add Agents to a couple of our raclab, rac2-node1 and rac2-node2

To do that, just go to Configuration > Add Target > Add Targets Manually
Alt Text

Select Install Agent on host
Alt Text

Add the hosts where you want the Agents installed, and make sure you add the host FQDN to avoid issues
Alt Text

Select Oracle and root credentials (you can also use SSH keys if you want to)
Alt Text

Alt Text

Add now Agent Installation location details
Alt Text

Now just review the details and click in Deploy Agent
Alt Text

You can also monitor the deplyomet checking the OEM agentpush logs:

After some time, you should get the Agent Deployment completed

Discover Targets on Host

Let's now add some Targets from the systems we added Agents to
Alt Text

Let's add the Cluster Components of our Rac2
Alt Text

Fill the Cluster details making sure you have the right details for you GI home and Scan name and port
Alt Text
Alt Text

Let's now add a Cluster Database
Alt Text

Make sure you complete all the details including ORacle Home path, service, etc..
Alt Text

Add at least one instance adding the details for the DBSNMP user and connection details
Alt Text

You can do a Test Connection to make sure is all fine

We can now check the system from our Targets > Databases

Database Performance

We can now check our System performance from the Target Performance Home (No Adobe Flash needed!!)

Select the Database and go to Performance > Performance Home.
You will get prompted to use Database login (you can use dbsnmp, but you can also use sys changing the role to "dba")

If we enable some workload using Swingbench, we can see some nice Performance graphics
Alt Text

You can also go to Performance Hub and see more detailed Performance details including Active Session History (ASH) analytics

There is much more about it than these simple tasks, but wanted to start from the beginning and see if I start to use OEM more regularly and can learn to do much more with it
