PostgreSQL monitoring in Oracle Enterprise Manager is becoming advisory, not just observational. In this webinar, recorded on September 23, 2026, Andre Beaumont walks through the advisory capabilities in the PostgreSQL Plug-in for Oracle Enterprise Manager, running live in the Enterprise Manager 24ai console against PostgreSQL 17.
The advisors turn collected metrics into ranked findings, the evidence behind each one, and SQL you can copy, review, and run yourself. The session also covers the plug-in's operational features and how advisor findings become alerts in the Enterprise Manager console you already run.
