The Oracle-defined dashboards for Management Agent provide insights into the key elements of your management agents during a selected period of time.

The Oracle-defined dashboards are listed on the Dashboards page. Click the name of the dashboard to view the dashboard and specify the following details:

• Select the compartment in which your management agent resides. Note that if a compartment is selected on the Dashboards page, then it's displayed by default.
• Select the resource that you want to monitor.
• Select the time period for which you want data to be populated in the dashboard.

After you specify the details, the dashboards are populated with data and provide a quick insight into the health and performance of your management agent and enable you to identify the area that requires your attention.

Here's information on the Oracle-defined dashboards for Management Agent:

• Overview is the home page for Management Agents and also acts as a Home dashboard. It enables you to analyze the resources used by your management agent and understand resource constraints and requirements. For instance, you can use the dashboards from Overview to analyze and monitor the heap and CPU usage of your management agent. Other dashboards provide an overview of the availability and performance of the Management Agent service. You can access this page from the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console navigation menu.

  The Overview dashboard includes widgets that provide snapshots of the management agents and you can click the links available in these widgets to navigate to the Agents listing page. In addition, the Overview page also displays the Alarms widgets, which enable you to monitor the firing alarms created for the metrics in the Management Agent namespace in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Monitoring service. You can click the name of the alarm in the Alarms widget to go to the Alarm Definitions page of the Monitoring service and view more information regarding the alarm.

  The following two widgets: Data Sent by Agents and Data Sent by Gateways are connected with the timer located at the top right of the page.

  Note
  
  To monitor alarms in the Alarms widgets, you must have the required Monitoring service permissions and should have created alarms to be notified when a threshold is breached. For permissions information, see Perform Dashboard Prerequisite Tasks.
• The Kubernetes Metrics dashboard is a set of sample metric widgets collected by the management agent pods running in the Kubernetes cluster.

  There are many metric widgets available including Pod count, Pod distribution and Cluster memory utilization.

Oracle-defined dashboards can be updated to meet your specific requirements. For information, see Customize an Oracle-defined Dashboard in the Management Dashboard service documentation.
