Foglight for Oracle

Scalable, Web-Based, 24x7 Database Monitoring

No other Oracle database monitoring tool has the power to accelerate problem resolution like Foglight® for Oracle. It provides constant remote database monitoring and correlates performance data from across your technology stack. And it makes your job easier by extending the capabilities of basic database monitoring software like Oracle Enterprise Manager. It guides you through response-time and wait-event analyses, so you instantly understand existing and developing database performance conditions. Plus, our IntelliProfile™ technology ensures your post-change database environment is thriving to help eliminate deployment risks. Foglight for Oracle empowers you to take action immediately and maximize your Oracle database resources.

  • Built-In Intelligence – Understand the health and activity of your Oracle enterprise with a variety of integrated management and performance views as well as pop-up advice with correlated workflows.
  • Adaptive Baselines – Track performance using automatic detection and calculation of normal ranges for all metrics, and receive alerts about deviations from normal activity.
