Ops Insights Metrics

You can monitor for conditions where incoming data for any Ops Insights-enabled target has been delayed for last one or two days by using metrics, alarms, and notifications.

This topic covers the metrics emitted by the Ops Insights service.

Overview of Ops Insights Metrics

Ops Insights relies on a constant flow of data coming from a variety of sources such as Autonomous DBs and Enterprise Manager targets such as hosts and databases.

Ops Insights metrics are pushed into the oci_operations_insights namespace.

Required Policies

To monitor resources, you must be given the required type of access in a policy. The policy must give you access to the monitoring services as well as the resources being monitored. If you try to perform an action and get a message that you don’t have permission or are unauthorized, confirm with your administrator the type of access you've been granted and which compartment you should work in. For more information on user authorizations for monitoring, see the Authentication and Authorization section for the related service: Monitoring or Notifications.
