Use Enterprise Manager to Manage and Observe Databases

You can use Oracle Enterprise Manager to manage and observe Autonomous Databases.

Enterprise Manager is Oracle’s management platform, providing a single pane of glass for managing all of your Oracle deployments, whether in your data centers or in Oracle Cloud. Through deep integration with Oracle’s product stack, Enterprise Manager provides market-leading management and automation support for Oracle applications, databases, middleware, hardware and engineered systems.

Note

Enterprise Manager version 13.3 and above support monitoring and management of Autonomous Databases.

To use Enterprise Manager to manage and monitor your database, you perform these high-level tasks:

  1. Configure connectivity between your Enterprise Manager deployment (whether on-premises or on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Marketplace) and your Autonomous Database.

  2. Use the Enterprise Manager console, CLI or REST API to discover the database and add it as a target.

For detailed steps to perform these tasks, see Discover Autonomous Databases in Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Administrator's Guide for Oracle Autonomous Databases.

Tip:

For a "try it out" alternative that demonstrates how to connect to an Autonomous Database from Oracle Enterprise Manager, see Lab 12: Deploy OEM and Connect ADB to OEM in Oracle Autonomous Database Dedicated for Fleet Administrators Workshop.

After performing the discovery tasks, you can use Enterprise Manager to:

  • Monitor the health and performance of your database and perform deep diagnostics on the Performance Hub.
  • Perform database administration tasks such as storage management, and schema management tasks such as creating database objects.

For details about how to use these features, see Monitoring and Administration Tasks in Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Administrator's Guide for Oracle Autonomous Databases.
