Optimizing Oracle Applications: Alert Optimizer

Every business dreams of having perfect visibility into its IT environment, but like anything else, it’s possible to have too much of a good thing. While Oracle Enterprise Manager can inundate you with unnecessary alerts, software such as Datavail’s Alert Optimizer is able to reduce this flood to a trickle, helping you focus on those issues that are truly meaningful and urgent.

Benefits of Alert Optimizer

Datavail’s Alert Optimizer is a tool that organizations can use to discover the root causes of unnecessary alerts within Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM). Alert Optimizer helps clients reduce the noise from OEM by cutting down on the floods of alerts that they receive, giving them greater visibility and better IT insights.

Alert Optimizer: Case Study

As mentioned above, it’s all too easy for users to feel inundated by a flood of alerts from Oracle monitoring tools like OEM. One of Datavail’s clients, a Fortune 500 company with a global presence, sorely lacked visibility into its IT environment due to issues using OEM.

The client’s environment included multiple Oracle products such as Oracle ERP Cloud, OBIEE, and WebLogic, as well as many third-party applications. There was no easy way for the client to filter the notifications that OEM was generating and drill down into the truly important alerts – until the client found Datavail’s Alert Optimizer.

By using the Alert Optimizer software, the client is able to sort alerts based on factors such as time period, metric, severity, and more. Not only does this eliminate notifications that are false positives, it also makes it easier for the client to analyze real problems and understand how to fix them.

Thanks to Alert Optimizer, the client now has an easier way to understand and resolve performance issues with its WebLogic deployments.
