About Events Based Notification and Automation on Autonomous Database
An event could be a resource lifecycle state change or a system event impacting a resource. For example, an event is emitted on Autonomous Database when a backup or restore operation begins or ends. Subscribing to events allows you to receive notifications or to perform other types of automation for events.
You can subscribe to Autonomous Database events as follows:
- Critical Events: See Critical Events on Autonomous Database for details on the events in the Critical event category.
- Information Events: See Information Events on Autonomous Database for details on the events in the Information event category.
-
Individual Events. See Autonomous Database Event Types for the list of Autonomous Database events.
-
Autonomous Data Guard Events. See Events and Notifications for a Standby Database for the list of Autonomous Data Guard events.
See Overview of Events for complete information on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Events.
See Get Notified of Autonomous Database Events for information on creating event rules.

Information Events on Autonomous Database
Information events provide important details about database lifecycle events, workload capture and reply events, and some other non-critical events on Autonomous Database.
The times shown with information events are in UTC.
Event | Description |
---|---|
|
This event is generated when an Autonomous JSON Database has exceeded the maximum storage limit of 20GB of data stored outside of SODA collections. This limit does not apply to data stored in SODA collections or objects associated with SODA collections, such as indexes or materialized views. In addition to this event, an email is sent to the account owner. You must either reduce your usage of non-SODA-related data to below the 20GB limit or promote the Autonomous JSON Database to Autonomous Transaction Processing. See Promote to Autonomous Transaction Processing for more information. |

|
This event is generated when you are using Oracle APEX and your Autonomous Database instance completes an upgrade to a new Oracle APEX release or completes the installation of an Oracle APEX Patch Set Bundle. |
|
This event is generated if a connection is made to database from a new IP address (the connection has not been made from the specified IP address in the last 30 days). |

Get Notified of Autonomous Database Events
Using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Events you can subscribe to Autonomous Database events individually or in two categories, Critical and Information events.
When you subscribe to an event category, either Critical or Information, you are notified when any events in the category occur. For example, to get notified when the database goes down, subscribe to the Autonomous Database Critical event type.
If you want to subscribe to Critical or Information events:
-
To subscribe to Critical events, create an event rule using the Autonomous Database - Critical event type.
-
To subscribe to Information events, create an event rule using the Autonomous Database - Information event type.
If you want to subscribe to one or more individual Critical or
Information events, create an event rule and add conditions. For example, to
create an event rule that only applies for the
AdminPasswordWarning
Critical event, create a rule as
follows:
See Getting Started with Events for information on using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Events, creating event rules, and for information on configuring actions for notifications.
