Webinar #1: Oracle Health Checks Using Apex
With the heavy workload that most, if not all, DBAs face, it’s no wonder there is little time left to perform routine health checks.This webinar reviews the real value of health checks, based on the thousands of them performed for clients and how APEX can be used to standardize health checks.
Webinar #2: Instrumentation With Splunk
Splunk is probably best known along with other Security, Information, and Event Monitoring software for its use in intrusion detection, W/Lan traffic monitoring, and more. But unlike other software systems which rely on modules and add-ons, Splunk offers a robust real-time big data collection and reporting framework complete with its own Search Processing Languages and ready to use point and click reporting tools.
If monitoring your Oracle Applications/EBS Systems is taking up too many cycles or you’re tired of getting caught off guard with what could have been preventable system outages, take some time to attend this webinar where Datavail will illustrate 2 ways Splunk can be used to mine your KPI data.
Webinar #3: Using OEM and Custom Templates for Alert Optimization
Watch this webinar to find out how OEM Grid configuration using Datavail’s Alert Optimizer™ and custom templates helps eliminate unwanted alerts, while enriching actionable alerts, and improving the performance of the entire database system. These five areas help organize the tuning approach and define the major concerns beyond the architecture, setup, and data model. It also addresses how performance tuning becomes less of a mystery if it can be measured, documented, affected, and improved.
Webinar #4: Building a Database Monitoring Tool Using Splunk
Is your database environment in need of a custom-built monitoring tool? Splunk may provide the answer. In this webinar, we will show you how to build a Database Monitoring Tool for free using both SQL scripts and shell scripts. The examples will be based on Oracle SQL however they can easily be translated into DB2, SQL Server, MySQL or any other major database platform.
