You can view the number of open alarms for your fleet of databases in the compartment or Database Group or for a single Managed Database.

The alarms in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Monitoring service monitor resources such as Oracle Databases by using metrics and notify you when these metrics meet alarm-specified triggers. To monitor the alarms for your Oracle Database in Database Management, the OCID of the database must be specified using the resourceId dimension.

For information on:

• Permissions required to create alarms and how to create alarms, see Managing Alarms.
• Namespaces and dimensions of the Oracle Databases monitored and managed by Database Management, see Database Management Metrics for Oracle Databases.

The open alarms for the Oracle Databases for which the resourceId dimension is specified are displayed on the following Database Management pages:

• Oracle Database fleet summary: Displays the total number of open alarms for the Oracle Databases in the compartment or Database Group.
• Database group details: Displays the total number of open alarms for the Oracle Databases in the Database Group.
• Managed database details: Displays the total number of open alarms for the Managed Database. On the Managed database details page, click Manage alarm definitions to go to the Alarm definitions section and perform tasks such as creating Oracle-recommended alarms and editing alarm values. For information, see Set Up Alarm Definitions.

Click the number of alarms on the Database Management pages to access the Alarms panel.

In the Alarms panel, you can:

• View the list of open database alarms along with information such as the name and severity of the alarm.

  If you want to view all the open alarms in the compartment, then click the link in the introductory text in the Alarms panel. A list of open alarms is listed on the Alarm Status page in the Monitoring service.

• Select the Show suppressed alarms check box to view suppressed alarms. Suppression is a configuration to avoid publishing messages during the specified time range. For information on the suppression configuration, see Managing Alarms.
• Use the Severity drop-down list or the Search by... field to filter the list of alarms.
• Click the name of the database in the Database column to go to the Managed database details page of the database that has the open alarm. Note that the Database column is only displayed if you access the Alarms panel from the Oracle Database fleet summary page.
• Click the name of the alarm to go to the Alarm Definitions page in the Monitoring service. On this page, you can review information about the alarm, such as its summary, severity, evaluation, and history. You can also perform tasks such as suppressing, updating, or deleting the alarm. For information on the Alarm Definitions page, see Managing Alarms.
