Features The Diagnostics Pack includes the following features, which you can use after purchasing a license for the pack. Performance monitoring and diagnostics Measure performance and diagnoses poor performance with associated drill-downs on the Performance page.

Operating system monitoring Monitor the operating system and hardware in the drill-downs from Grid Control host monitoring pages. Adaptive metric thresholds Capture "baselines" of workload performance metrics during "normal" performance and compares against the same metrics during poor performance to diagnose the causes.

Advanced alert management Include notification methods, rules, and schedules, metric history and associated drill-downs, ability to set blackouts, associate corrective actions with an alert, user-defined metrics, metric snapshots, monitoring templates, adaptive metric thresholds, setting metric baselines, and Memory Access Mode.

Memory access mode For slow or hung systems, retrieve performance statistics directly from the Shared Global Area SGA , which avoids the computation associated with parsing and executing SQL statements. Advanced alert management: notification methods, rules and schedules Define different mechanisms for sending notifications, including e-mail, SNMP traps, or running custom scripts.

Advanced alert management: event and metric history Analyze past performance and issues that have affected your database and host. Blackouts Allow Enterprise Manager administrators to suspend any data collection activity on one or more monitored targets, thereby allowing Enterprise Manager administrators to perform scheduled maintenance on targets.

Monitoring templates Simplify the task of setting up monitoring for large numbers of targets by enabling administrators to specify the monitoring settings once, then apply them as often as needed. Note: Generation of alerts through Enterprise Manager or directly by the server in Oracle Database 10 g or Database 11 g is not part of this pack; it is free with the database.
