Metrics in the oracle_oci_exadata Namespace for Storage Servers

You can monitor the health, capacity, and performance of the storage servers in the Exadata Infrastructure by using metrics, alarms, and notifications. This section describes the metrics emitted by Database Management in the oracle_oci_exadata namespace for the storage servers in the Exadata Infrastructure (oci_oracle_exadata_storage_server resource).

Valid alarm intervals for the metrics are 5 minutes or greater due to the frequency at which these metrics are emitted. For information on how to create alarms, see Managing Alarms.

Retention period is set for 90 days. For information on retention periods, see Storage Limits.

Dimensions

The metrics for the storage servers in the Exadata Infrastructure include the following common dimensions.

Dimension Description
resourceId The OCID of the storage server.
resourceName The name of the storage server.
exadataInfrastructureId The OCID of the Exadata Infrastructure.
deploymentType The deployment type of the Exadata Infrastructure. The deployment type is onprem.
