Application Dependency Management Metrics

Metrics enable you to monitor your cloud resources actively and passively.

You can monitor the performance of your resources by using metrics. This topic describes the metrics emitted by the metric namespace oci_adm.

Application Dependency Management (ADM) metrics help you track the following:

  • The number of vulnerability audits that contain a vulnerable dependency.
  • The maximum CVSS v2 score of vulnerable dependencies.
  • The maximum CVSS v3 score of vulnerable dependencies.

The resource monitored is Knowledge Base.

Prerequisites

To monitor resources, you must be given the required type of access in an IAM policy written by an administrator. Policies are required for using the Console, REST API, or SDK and CLI. The policy must give you access to the monitoring services and the resources being monitored. When you try to perform an action, you might get a message that you don't have permission or are unauthorized. Confirm with your administrator the type of access that you have been granted and which compartment you must work in. For more information about user authorizations for monitoring, see the Authentication and Authorization section in Overview of Monitoring.

The metrics listed on this page are automatically available for any Knowledge Bases that you create. You don't need to enable monitoring on the resource to get these metrics.

Available Metrics

The dimension included in Application Dependency Management metrics is knowledgeBaseId: Knowledge Base identifier.

Metric Display Name Unit Description Dimensions
MaxCvssV3Score CVSS v3 Score Count The maximum CVSS v3 score of vulnerable dependencies. knowledgeBaseId
MaxCvssV2Score CVSS v2 Score Count The maximum CVSS v2 score of vulnerable dependencies. knowledgeBaseId
IsVulnerable Audits with vulnerable dependencies 1 or 0
  • 1: Vulnerability Audit has a vulnerability.
  • 0: Vulnerability Audit does not have a vulnerability.
 The number of vulnerability audits that contain a vulnerable dependency. knowledgeBaseId

Using the Oracle Cloud Console

Here's how you view the metric charts:

  1. In the Console, open the navigation menu. Under Observability & Management, go to Monitoring and click Service Metrics.
  2. Select the compartment that contains the ADM resource whose performance you want to monitor.
  3. For Metric namespace, select oci_adm.

The Service Metrics page dynamically updates the page to show charts for each metric that the selected metric namespace emits.

Using the API

To monitor the metrics, use the Monitoring API.

For information about using the API and signing requests, see REST API documentation and Security Credentials.
