Database Usage Tracking Credentials and Monitoring Database Credentials

Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13c Release 3

Version 13.3.0.0.0

 

For each target we have use DBSNMP credentials.

We have two type of credentials for each target:

-         Monitoring Database Credentials (for agent monitoring purpose)

-         Database Usage Tracking Credentials (for BI Publisher report)

Monitoring Database Credentials already set up when we create target. Also when we go to

Setup – Security – Monitoring Credentials

we see that Database Usage Tracking Credentials is empty instead of Monitoring Database Credentials.

We could set Database Usage Tracking Credentials with DBSNMP credentials as well. Same user same password.

But we have situation when we have thousands of DBs and we don’t know DBSNMP most password. It is created by automate procedure. Also on some DBs this password could be different. And also could be change in future.
