Monitor a Database with Enterprise Manager Express

This article explains how to set up an Enterprise Manager Express console to monitor the database.

On 1- and 2-node RAC DB Systems, by default, the EM Express console is not enabled on version 18.1.0.0, 12.2.0.1, and 12.1.0.2 databases. You can enable it for an existing database as described below, or you can enable it when you create a database by using the Database Commands with the -co parameter.

You must also update the security list and iptables for the DB system as described later in this topic.

When you enable the console, you'll set the port for the console. The procedure below uses port 5500, but each additional console enabled on the same DB system will have a different port.

Required IAM Policy

Some of the procedures below require permission to create or update security lists. For more information about security list policies, see Security Lists.
