Two reasons why dedicated Vantage points matter are:

• Test internal customer applications. Dedicated Vantage points are private Vantage points that you can deploy in your own network or cloud environment. Dedicated Vantage points allow you to test internal customer applications that are not accessible from the public internet, such as intranet applications or applications behind a firewall.
• Applications on-premise or on secured network cannot be tested from a public Vantage Point. Public Vantage points are Vantage points that are hosted and managed by Oracle in various regions around the world. Public Vantage points allow you to test external customer applications that are accessible from the public internet, such as web applications or APIs. However, public Vantage points cannot test applications that are on-premise or on secured network, as they do not have access to those environments.

Enterprise Manager is a service that provides comprehensive monitoring and administration capabilities for Oracle Database and Engineered Systems1. Management Agent enables Enterprise Manager to discover, monitor, and manage targets on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, on-premises, or on other public clouds2.

Logging Analytics is a service that enables devops teams to monitor and troubleshoot issues faster by analyzing data from any source using interactive, intuitive dashboards1. Management Agent collects log data from various sources and sends it to Logging Analytics for parsing and indexing2.

To create a corresponding OCI object storage bucket bearing the same name as that of the compute instance, you can use Oracle Functions and Service Connector Hub. Oracle Functions is a serverless platform that lets you create and run functions that respond to events. Service Connector Hub is a cloud message bus platform that lets you move data between OCI services. You can create a service connector that has Events as the source service and Functions as the target service. You can also specify a filter to select only the events related to compute instance creation (com.oraclecloud.computeapi.launchinstance.end). The function can then create an object storage bucket with the same name as the compute instance.

• Exadata Insights. Exadata Insights is a feature of Operations Insights that provides comprehensive monitoring and analysis of your Exadata systems, both on-premises and in the cloud. You can use Exadata Insights to view performance, utilization, availability, and configuration metrics of your Exadata systems and components. You can also use Exadata Insights to troubleshoot issues, optimize performance, and plan capacity for your Exadata systems.
• Capacity Planning. Capacity Planning is a feature of Operations Insights that helps you forecast the future resource consumption and capacity needs of your databases. You can use Capacity Planning to create scenarios based on historical trends, growth rates, and what-if analysis. You can also use Capacity Planning to compare different scenarios and identify potential risks and opportunities for your database capacity.

Two examples of data telemetry sources of Operations Insights are:

• Enterprise Manager. Enterprise Manager is an on-premises tool that provides comprehensive management and monitoring of Oracle databases and applications. Enterprise Manager can send operational data, such as performance metrics, configuration data, and SQL data, to Operations Insights for analysis and optimization.
• Management Agent. Management Agent is a lightweight process that collects and sends operational data from your resources to OCI services, such as Monitoring, Logging, or Operations Insights. Management Agent can collect data from various sources, such as databases, hosts, or applications.

Two items required to create a rule for the OCI Events Service are:

• Actions. Actions are the tasks that you want to perform when an event matches your rule condition. For example, you can create an action that sends a notification, invokes a function, or streams an event.
• Rule Conditions. Rule Conditions are the criteria that you use to filter events based on their attributes or patterns. For example, you can create a rule condition that matches events related to instance creation or deletion.

Stack Monitoring can monitor Oracle External Databases and WebLogic Servers as resources. Stack Monitoring is a feature of Application Performance Monitoring that allows you to monitor the performance and availability of your entire application stack, including databases, servers, containers, and functions. You can create custom stacks by selecting the resources that you want to monitor and view their metrics, alerts, and topology in a single dashboard. For more information, see Stack Monitoring.
