OBIEE Monitoring and Diagnostics with InfluxDB and Grafana

In this article I’m going to look at collecting time-series metrics into the InfluxDB database and visualising them in snazzy Grafana dashboards. The datasets I’m going to use are OS metrics (CPU, Disk, etc) and the DMS metrics from OBIEE, both of which are collected using the support

Visualising OBIEE DMS metrics with Graphite

Assuming you have set up obi-metrics-agent and collectl as described in my previous post [https://www.rittmanmead.com/blog/2014/03/installing-obi-metrics-agent-graphite-and-collectl], you have a wealth of data at your disposal for graphing and exploring in Graphite, including: * OS (CPU, disk, network, memory) * OBIEE's metrics * Metrics about DMS

Installing obi-metrics-agent, Graphite, and collectl

In the previous post I introduced obi-metrics-agent [https://www.rittmanmead.com/blog/2014/03/introducing-obi-metrics-agent-an-open-source-obiee-metrics-collector] , an open-source tool from Rittman Mead that can collect DMS metrics from OBIEE and write them to several formats including graphite. Graphite is a tool for storing and graphing time-based metrics. Now in this post

Introducing obi-metrics-agent - an Open-Source OBIEE Metrics Collector

Understanding what is going on inside OBIEE is important for being able to diagnose issues that arise, monitor its health, and dig deep into its behaviour under stress in a load test. OBIEE exposes a set of metrics through the Dynamic Monitoring Service (DMS) and viewable through Enterprise Manager (EM)
