What is the benefit of OCI Unified Monitoring?

OCI Unified Monitoring is designed to offer a comprehensive overview of the performance and health of both cloud and on-premises resources. This capability is crucial for organizations that utilize a hybrid architecture combining cloud services with their own on-premises infrastructure. By integrating monitoring for diverse resources into a single pane of glass, OCI Unified Monitoring simplifies the process of tracking system health and performance metrics across different environments, enabling quicker response to potential issues and facilitating more effective management and optimization.

This unified approach enhances operational efficiency, as it reduces the complexity associated with monitoring multiple disparate systems and creates a holistic perspective of resource utilization and performance. It helps teams gain insights into the interdependencies between cloud and on-premises systems, allowing for better decision-making and improved overall system reliability.

In contrast, fragmented views and the need for multiple dashboards hinder the ability to see the complete picture and can lead to oversight of critical issues. While budgeting services are important, they represent a much narrower focus than the broader capabilities offered by Unified Monitoring, which encompasses a wide range of performance and health metrics.
