OCI Observability Professional is about making production systems diagnosable: you can detect issues early, explain them quickly, and verify fixes with evidence.
What you should be able to do
- Use Monitoring metrics, alarms, notifications, and dashboards.
- Use Logging to collect and route logs safely (avoid sensitive data leakage).
- Use Log Analytics (concept-level) for search, parsing, and correlation.
- Use APM (concept-level) for traces, spans, and performance bottlenecks.
- Design alerts that reduce noise and focus on actionable conditions.
Efficient prep strategy
- Use the Syllabus as your checklist.
- Learn the three signals: metrics, logs, traces — and when each is primary.
- Drill incident scenarios: pick answers that improve detection and diagnosis, not just “collect more data”.
