5.2.1 Management Considerations Checklist
■ Use the monitoring and alerting capabilities of Oracle Enterprise Manager to
ensure you are notified of any potential performance problems in your system(s).
Use the default alerting thresholds or configure custom thresholds if needed for
monitoring and alerts. Use historical data collected by Oracle Enterprise Manager
