Get started

Overview

This remote extension runs on an ActiveGate in your environment. It executes various API calls on the GoldenGate hosts you want to monitor and sends the collected information to Dynatrace.

The Oracle GoldenGate extension monitors the overall health and state of GoldenGate servers and their underlying microservices, performance of extract and replicat processes, and the trails between these processes.

Use cases

Monitor status of Service Manager, microservices, and distribution paths
Collect performance statistics of microservices
Monitor statistics of replication between databases via trails
Detect and alert on anomalous behavior

Requirements

Administrative Server port number
Distribution Server port number
Performance Metrics Server port number
Service Manager port number
GoldenGate credentials with read permissions to the following REST API endpoints:
- /services/v2/extracts/{extract}/info/status
- /services/v2/replicats/{replicat}/info/status
- /services/v2/sources
- /services/v2/sources/{distpath}
- /services/v2/sources/{distpath}/info
- /services/v2/exttrails
- /services/v2/mpoints/{item}/trailOutput
- /services/v2/mpoints/processes
- /services/v2/mpoints/{item}/processPerformance

Activation and setup

Go to Dynatrace Hub .
Select and install the Oracle GoldenGate extension.
Go to Extensions.
Create a monitoring configuration using the required information.

Details

This extension uses the Oracle GoldenGate REST API to fetch important metrics and metadata for your service manager, microservices, extract and replicat processes, and extract trails.

Licensing and costs

There is no charge for obtaining the extension, only for the data that the extension ingests. The details of license consumption will depend on which licensing model you are using. This will either be Dynatrace classic licensing or the Dynatrace Platform Subscription (DPS) model.

Dynatrace Platform Subscription

With a Dynatrace Platform Subscription (DPS) license:

For metrics, license consumption is based on the number of metric data points ingested. This is billed as Metrics powered by Grail.

The following formula will provide the approximate annual data points ingested, assuming all feature sets are enabled. Actual ingested metric data point volumes will depend heavily on your specific Oracle GoldenGate environment.
```
(
    (1 * number of service managers)
  + (6 * number of microservice processes)
  + (2 * number of distribution paths)
  + (4 * number of extract trails)
  + (4 * number of extract processes)
  + (4 * number of replicat processes)
)
* 60 minutes * 24 hours * 365 days data points per year
```

Classic licensing

With a Dynatrace classic license:

For metrics, metric ingestion consumes Davis Data Units (DDUs) at the rate of .001 DDUs per metric data point. Multiply the above formula for annual data points by .001 to estimate annual DDU usage.
