Monitoring Identity Refresh

Use metrics to monitor the success and failure of identity refresh. These metrics enable you to create alarms and send notifications when the refresh operation fails.

If you are using an identity to perform a critical task, you may want to be notified in case the refresh operation fails. When the refresh operation fails, the resource principal token is no longer usable and this prevents the associated credential from being authenticated by OCI Identity and Access Management. Use OCI Monitoring to create an alarm to send a notification when a refresh operation fails.
Note

The monitoring information in the topics in this section only describe the metrics for Database Tools Identity. For more general information about metrics and alarms, see these topics:

Required IAM Policy

To monitor resources, you must have the required type of access in a policy written by an administrator, whether you are using the Oracle Cloud Console or the REST API with an SDK, CLI, or other tool.

For more information on user authorizations for monitoring, see Metric Access for Groups.
