Concept For Grid Control

Hi ,

Firstly what is Grid Control?

I would name grid as a console from where you can monitor all the databases.
I hope that doesn't make any sense for you,how we monitor all the databases from a single console.
This is how it works daa.Just have a look and post the comments whether it is good or bad.

please find the attached image.


Now,for installing a grid control,we need to have a database,weblogic instance(with out configuring domain,as configuring domain will be taken care by grid).

Purpose of grid::we can monitor all databases performance etc from grid control.So,if we monitor grid then you can see the status of all the databases.If you see any errors for a specific database,then it's easy for you to trouble shoot as well.It will minimize your daily tasks,comming to office going to each database alert log,or applications would be a very hectic task.Now,grid minimiZes all.from the diagram you can see..

The above are agents,means agents will be installed on databases,that can be a part of grid control.

OMS oracle messaging service is a middle tier application,which collects all the information for the target databases and will store in the OMR(oracle management Repository) which will be in database.

Ok.now this is the basic concept for the grod control.Now the other big step would be configuring Grid.In my next post i will post the clear Doc for installing the Grid control.

Please do post some comments where i can improve.

Thanks,
Naga.
