As a follow up to my 2 minute Tech Tip taken by @BobRhubart about SOA Suite monitoring I’d like to give you some more context than that fuzzy performance of me during Oracle Open World 2016.

Monitoring your SOA Suite is a tough job because of the complexity of the environment. Usually Adminstrators stick to some CPU, memory, disk and basic WebLogic Monitoring, some have monitoring in place for some more advanced stuff such as JVM, JMS, JDBC, but when it comes to "Who monitors the Error Hospital on Business Faults?" or "Who is looking after SOA housekeeping?", than no one knows what i’m talking about.

And, in many cases, the necessary SOA Management pack hasn’t been licensed, or switched on to make use of all the nice features you can get out of this pack. This pack transforms your local Fusion Middleware Console into an EM dashboard, can monitor the Error Hospital, trace on Instance flows and even monitor the Dehydration Store Performance the SOA Suite repository. So, who needs the local Fusion Middleware Console(EM)?

However, if you are not licensed to use the SOA Suite management pack, than you are not permitted to use al these nice features.

As I told in the video, Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud control has a feature called metric extensions. These are extensions if collected metrics which are delivered in a certain pack are not sufficient enough or maybe are not there at all. I did some research for a customer who used the SOA Suite but had no management pack for it. Read the complete article here & watch the video here.
