Problem:    How to Enable the Metric Browser/Agent Browser for the Oracle Management Agent

Solution:

1. The Metric Browser is enabled by setting the enableMetricBrowser property in the agent's emd.properties file.  The location of the that file depends on the type of agent you are working with:

For the Grid Control (central|standalone) Agent:

<AGENT_HOME>/sysman/config/emd.properties file

For a clustered (RAC) agent install:

<AGENT_HOME>/<hostname>/sysman/config/emd.properties file

For the Database Control Agent:

<DATABASE_HOME>/<hostname>_<SID>/sysman/config/emd.properties file.

For AS Control agent:

<AS_HOME> /sysman/config/emd.properties file.

2. Make a backup copy of the emd.properties file.

3. Edit the file and locate the line that reads:

# To enable the metric browser, uncomment the following line
# This is a reloadable parameter
#
#enableMetricBrowser=true

4. Uncomment the line: #enableMetricBrowser=true, so that it reads:

enableMetricBrowser=true

5. Reload the Agent Configuration using the command:

<AGENT_HOME>/bin/emctl reload agent

6. After reloading the Agent the Metrics Browser will be enabled and therefore accessible via a browser.

Note:  The metric browser can be used to debug a specific issue, but should never be kept operational in a production environment. When the browser is enabled, the Agent starts an extra thread, which listens for the incoming browse requests. This means extra work the Agent may be doing, which serves no real purpose.
