WLSDM is really a cool Monitoring Dashboard, which is worth having a look... Under the Section Operational Tools & Utils you can find various helpful stuff like Log File Viewer, Thread Dump Analyzer, MBean Search, Decrypt -Encrypt and so on. My personal favorite is the WLST Web Console, here you can execute directly from your web browser WLST commands or execute WLST Python Scripts.

Easy installation and configuration of thresholds and alerts for the essential metrics. File system historical data store, not available otherwise without products like EM Grid/Cloud Control. Integrated with the WebLogic administration console, modern and responsive interface.

I have designed this product not only for plain Oracle WebLogic domains, also supporting and understanding all Oracle Fusion Middleware domains and doing well on production environments. Oracle Service Bus module and dashboards, SOA Suite module and dashboards, FMW Component dashboards… etc. only available in WLSDM and OPC products.

We have been able to increase our server uptime and stability by efficiently troubleshooting the issue root causes using WLSDM's diagnostic and monitoring features. Rather than reacting to platform-based issues, our team has become more proactive in detecting them early and fixing them before our customers can. The product support is excellent and unmatched.

Installation is easy. It's nice that WLSDM does not have license for Developer servers. Install it on a DEV server to try other features, too. Comparing to WebLogic monitoring dashboard, WLSDM UI looks better! Decryption of data source passwords is nice.

We have been using WLSDM since the last quarter of 2020. As a developer WLSDM is one of our best friend while supporting production middleware operations. Very functional and really easy to use.

I have more than 2 years of experience with this tool. This tool monitors WebLogic server to really deep level. Best part is its really easy to install and upgrade. Minimal system requirements for installation.Customized view is really helpful. For WebLogic monitoring, my recommendations are WLSDM.

Great tool. Helping us to monitor our Oracle Fusion Middleware (FMW) domains and providing insightful data.

I like the feature HTTPClient Outbound Call is something which will help us a lot. Because, we had been working with a lot of third party URLs where we have to connect. Sometimes there is an issue and it is really difficult to find out root cause. I think this tool is going to help us a lot. Great tool!

Before coming across this product, my day to day tasks of managing WebLogic servers and Oracle applications such as OSB and SOA was tedious, manual and inefficient. After starting to use WLSDM, I got a platform in which I could follow my Oracle services' clusters much more efficiently. By using it's features my customer satisfaction increased significantly.

After downloading WLSDM solution. Literally in two clicks we get a tool already suitable for work with a set of threshold values and the ability to send messages and large speedometers of charts. Especially for a large monitoring infrastructure, or to help a DevOps engineer who needs to keep his finger on the pulse of spinning applications.

I tried lots of different products to monitor our WebLogic domains. WLSDM is the only one which covers all our needs.

Installation and integration of WLSDM can be done very quickly and easily. Very useful tool for WebLogic.

Nice tool. Making WebLogic administration easier for none experienced users and offering additional services.

I did the WLSDM installation in less than 5 minutes in my Oracle BPM domain parallel watching a movie on Netflix. That simple it is.

It helped us to consolidate various alerts generated in the domains of the data bus. Therefore, making our team able to obtain quicker the root cause of the incident in the production environment.

I learn new things on WLSDM tool for WebLogic. It is great news that WLSDM comes with Oracle SOA Support.

Problem solved by the support team, due to using the OUD for access, a base version was made! I congratulate the WLSDM team for their attention and timely solution.

Hi, I was able to run and configure WLSDM smoothly. Thank you very much for the excellent and swift work!

The result; WLSDM has helped us to reduce troubleshooting time in turn increasing work productivity.

It helped us to consolidate various alerts generated in the domains of the data bus. Therefore, making our team able to obtain quicker the root cause of the incident in the production environment.
