Metric collection using OEM Grid Control

Measuring the various key performance indicators of the underlying IT infrastructure is one of the building blocks in systems management. Continuous monitoring of the IT infrastructure components such as database, application server, applications, and other related components ensures early detection of problems. Early detection of problems improves the overall user experience as performance problems can be detected, diagnosed, and resolved faster. Moreover, measuring the performance indicators can help in detecting trends in recurring performance problems. This information can also be used as a data point to consider horizontal scalability and to add more capacity to address recurring performance issues.
