If you have been following the EM releases for a while, you are already familiar with Release Updates (RUs).  RUs are the agile way to roll out new EM features and bug fixes quickly to customers, so they don’t have to wait for a major release. RUs are versioned with a trailing digit indicating the RU version. Note that RUs are cumulative, which means that the most recent RU includes functionality from all previous release updates.  Our general recommendation is to apply the most current RU as soon as possible.

Host Monitoring just got easier in Stack Monitoring

Last September, we introduced support for host observability with Stack Monitoring.  Stack Monitoring focuses on the discovery and monitoring of applications and application stack technologies such as Oracle Database, WebLogic Server, and E-Business Suite.  With host monitoring, operations teams get more complete visibility into the application tech stack, enabling them to correlate possible application performance degradation with status or resource utilization issues of the underlying on-premises hosts or OCI compute instances on which their applications are running.

Reducing alert fatigue with Event Compression Policies in Oracle Enterprise Manager

Proactive alerting of issues is important, but having too many alerts can be overwhelming. The latter can cause alert fatigue, and this is usually the result of not being able to correlate related alerts (or events) into a single issue that can be managed holistically.

Event Compression Policies in Enterprise Manager address this need. It automatically correlates and compresses related events into a single, actionable incident.  The overall result of compression is a smaller set of meaningful incidents that ITOps teams can manage. This feature is available in Enterprise Manager 13.5 Release Update 8 (RU8) and later versions.
