What is Oracle Key Vault?

Oracle Key Vault is a security-hardened platform that centralizes the management of encryption keys, Oracle Wallets, Java KeyStores, and other secrets. Oracle Key Vault is a software appliance designed to help enterprises manage and control the lifecycle of their security objects, including keys, certificates, and other credentials. Key Vault supports various deployment options including Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), AWS, Azure, and on-premises environments.

Why Monitor Oracle Key Vault?

Monitoring the resources of Oracle Key Vault is crucial for maintaining the health, performance, and security of the system. By tracking key metrics like CPU usage, memory consumption, and disk space, you can proactively identify and address potential issues before they impact the availability of your encryption keys. This ensures that your databases and applications can continue to operate securely and reliably, even under heavy loads. To avoid such potential issues and to ensure high availability of resources, the Oracle Key Vault should be monitored periodically. For this purpose, eG Enterprise offers a specialized Oracle Key Vault monitoring model.
