Oracle Guardian

Few months back I go through one interesting diagnostic and troubleshooting oracle tool "Oracle Guardian". Please find the list of oracle guardian capabilities and usage of it below.

Guardian Capabilities:
Oracle Guardian:
• Is like a virus scanner for WebLogic Server
• Checks domains for common configuration and runtime problems and then recommends solutions
• Includes graphical and command-line interfaces
• May also scan other Oracle products running on WLS
• Is free to those who have an Oracle support account
• Can also help automate support-case creation

Usage of Guardian:
Use Guardian to evaluate domains:
• After their initial creation and setup
• As part of each development cycle, prior to production
• After any Oracle patch or service pack has been applied
• After introducing or upgrading any third-party software
• Periodically in production (each night, for example)
• While load or stress testing

Installation:
It's a two step process.
1] Weblogic Oracle Agent Installation.
2] Weblogic Oracle Guardian Installation.

Oracle Guardian Evaluation Report:
Please find the sample domain evaluation report that is generated using oracle guardian tool for one of my local domain.
