A Knowledge Module (KM) or a monitoring solution is a set of files from which a PATROL Agent receives information about resources running on a monitored computer. A KM file can contain the actual instructions for monitoring objects or simply a list of KMs to load. KMs are deployed to PATROL Agents and are located in the Infrastructure Management–PATROL Repository (Repository).

PATROL for Oracle Enterprise Database enables you to monitor and manage the availability and performance of resources in an Oracle environment. It provides visual warnings and alarms when thresholds are exceeded, and allows an easy identification of the problem.
