Monitor – Technology Geek

Azure provides two primary services to monitor the health of your apps and resources.

Azure Monitor
Azure Service Health

Azure Monitor

maximizes the availability and performance of your applications by delivering a comprehensive solution for collecting, analyzing, and acting on telemetry from your cloud and on-premises environments. It helps you understand how your applications are performing and proactively identifies issues affecting them and the resources they depend on.

also it can collect data from different source such as application, operating system, and platform .. etc. for example the following will explain what i mean :-

What it’s monitor	Description
Application monitoring data	collect data about performance and functionality of the code you have written, regardless of its platform.
OS monitoring data	Data about the operating system on which your application is running.
resource monitoring data	Data about the operation of an Azure resource.
subscription monitoring data	Data about the operation and management of an Azure subscription
tenant monitoring data	Data about the operation of tenant-level Azure services such azure AD.

Table explain what is the monitor in Azure Monitor

Azure Monitor starts collecting data. Activity Logs record when resources are created or modified and Metrics tell you how the resource is performing and the resources that it’s consuming, You can extend the data you’re collecting into the actual operation of the resources by enabling diagnostics and adding an agent to compute resources, also with Azure Monitor you can extend the monitoring to be for example :-

Application Insights is a service that monitors the availability, performance, and usage of your web applications, whether they’re hosted in the cloud or on-premises.
Azure Monitor for containers is a service that is designed to monitor the performance of container workload
Azure Monitor for VMs is a service that monitors your Azure VMs at scale, by analyzing the performance and health of your Windows and Linux VMs

How it’s works ?

Alert :- from the name it will notify the admin to about the erros or thereshould to take corrective actions,Alert rules based on metrics can provide alerts in almost real-time, based on numeric values. Alert rules based on logs allow for complex logic across data, from multiple sources.

AutoScale :- uses Autoscale to ensure that you have the right amount of resources running to manage the load on your application effectively.

Azure Service Health

provide personalized guidance and support when issues with Azure services affect you. It can notify you, help you understand the impact of issues, and keep you updated as the issue is resolved.

What is the plus about Azure Service health :-

Azure Status provides a global view of the health state of Azure services
customizable dashboard that tracks the state of your Azure services in the regions where you use them.
Helps you diagnose and obtain support when an Azure service issue affects your resources

Cheers

And Enjoy the Cloud

Mointer Space in Flash_recovery_are

1- sqlplus / as sysdba

2- Run the Below Query

SELECT 
    NAME, 
    TO_CHAR(SPACE_LIMIT, '999,999,999,999') AS SPACE_LIMIT,
    TO_CHAR(SPACE_LIMIT - SPACE_USED + SPACE_RECLAIMABLE, '999,999,999,999')
       AS SPACE_AVAILABLE,
    ROUND((SPACE_USED - SPACE_RECLAIMABLE)/SPACE_LIMIT * 100, 1)
       AS PERCENT_FULL
    FROM V$RECOVERY_FILE_DEST;

There’s many scripts you can use to monitor FRA Or Arvhive I will post Few Of them :

Select file_type, percent_space_used from v$flash_recovery_area_usage;

SELECT NAME,
TO_CHAR(SPACE_LIMIT, '999,999,999,999') AS SPACE_LIMIT,
TO_CHAR(SPACE_LIMIT - SPACE_USED + SPACE_RECLAIMABLE, '999,999,999,999') AS SPACE_AVAILABLE,
ROUND((SPACE_USED - SPACE_RECLAIMABLE)/SPACE_LIMIT * 100, 1) AS PERCENT_FULL
FROM V$RECOVERY_FILE_DEST;

Query the V$RECOVERY_FILE_DEST view to find out the current location, disk quota, space in use, space reclaimable by deleting files, and total number of files in the Flash Recovery Area. For example :

SQL> SELECT * FROM V$RECOVERY_FILE_DEST;

NAME SPACE_LIMIT SPACE_USED SPACE_RECLAIMABLE NUMBER_OF_FILES ----------- ---------- ----------------- --------------- D:\Oracle\flash_recovery_area 838860800 292490752 0 44

Query the V$FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA_USAGE view to find out the percentage of the total disk quota used by different types of files. Also, you can determine how much space for each type of file can be reclaimed by deleting files that are obsolete, redundant, or already backed up to tape. For example :

SELECT * FROM V$FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA_USAGE;

FILE_TYPE PERCENT_SPACE_USED PERCENT_SPACE_RECLAIMABLE NUMBER_OF_FILES ------------ ------------------ ------------------------- --------------- CONTROLFILE 0 0 0 ONLINELOG 2 0 22 ARCHIVELOG 4.05 2.01 31 BACKUPPIECE 3.94 3.86 8 IMAGECOPY 15.64 10.43 66 FLASHBACKLOG .08 0 1
