Applications Manager pushes monitoring past the server and out to the end user's network path

apmnetwork-monitoringcapacity-planningoracleplatform-upgrades
◆Current state
Applications Manager ships on a roughly fortnightly build cadence, and each build arrives split across three feed entries — new features, minor enhancements, and issues fixed. Build 182000 adds ISP Latency Monitoring, measuring the network path between EUM agent locations and target hosts. The accompanying enhancements are runtime upgrades (JRE 11 to 17, PostgreSQL 15 to 17, Tomcat), and the fix list is dominated by Oracle monitoring and SSL connection problems.
◆Where it's heading
The recent builds trace a move from monitoring what a server reports to monitoring what a user experiences: ISP latency here, Capacity Planning widgets that flag idle and undersized resources in the previous build, Emergency Patching before that. The platform underneath is being modernised at the same time — this build alone jumps a major JRE version and two PostgreSQL majors. Oracle monitoring remains the most frequent source of defects across the fix lists.
◆Prediction
Expect the end-user-experience surface to keep expanding around the EUM agent, and further platform version bumps as the JRE 17 migration settles.

◆Recent moves

  1. 2d ago

    ISP Latency Monitoring measures the end-user network path

    The feature half of build 182000: latency monitoring between EUM agent locations and target hosts, to separate connectivity problems from application problems. It extends the end-user-experience direction the last few builds have been taking rather than opening a new one.

  2. 2d ago

    Build 182000 fixes Oracle SSL, LDAP collection and audit gaps

    The defect half of build 182000. Oracle NoSQL SSL connections, truncated Oracle version reporting, LDAP data collection over SSL, and missing Action Audit entries for Kubernetes resources. Two of the fixes reference regressions dating back to builds 179800 and 180700.

  3. 2d ago

    Build 182000 lifts JRE to 17, PostgreSQL to 17.10

    Runtime upgrades only — JRE 11.0.30 to 17.0.20, PostgreSQL 15.17 to 17.10, Tomcat 9.0.118 to 9.0.120. Invisible to users but a significant jump for an on-premises product where the bundled runtime is the deployment.

  4. 19d ago

    Capacity Planning widgets flag idle and undersized resources

    Dashboard widgets that classify resources as undersized, oversized or idle from historical utilisation, with drill-down and CSV export. Aimed at the cost-reclamation use case rather than at fault detection.

  5. 19d ago

    Build 181900 fixes Event Log REST rules and duplicate alarms

    Fixes for Event Log rules that could not be configured over REST, duplicate critical alarms for the same attribute, and false alarms from Monitor Groups. Alarm-noise defects of the kind that erode trust in a monitoring tool.

  6. 23d ago

    Build 181800 fixes WebLogic monitor loss and email audit logs

    Fixes for WebLogic monitors being removed during MS SQL AlwaysOn collection, an Alarm Summary widget that clipped its own table, and email audit logs reporting delivered mail as failed. Ordinary correction work against the database and alerting paths the product leans on hardest.
