What happens in Stack Monitoring after Management Agents are set up and resources are discovered?

In OCI Stack Monitoring, once the Management Agent is deployed on the host and resources (such as Oracle Databases, WebLogic Servers, or Host OS) are successfully discovered using the discovery job, Stack Monitoring immediately begins automatically collecting performance and availability metrics. The discovered resources are added to the Stack Monitoring inventory, and metric collection processes start without requiring manual metric definition setups. Collected telemetry is made immediately visible on the Stack Monitoring dashboards and performance charts, allowing enterprise administrators to monitor health metrics, resource utilization, and status in real time right after the discovery phase completes successfully.

B. Alarm rules will trigger when resources are down or performance thresholds are crossed: Alarm rules require explicit configuration in OCI Monitoring before triggering notifications on thresholds; they do not trigger automatically upon discovery.
C. Management Agents discover resources that are running locally on the instance: Resource discovery occurs during the explicit discovery workflow prior to this stage, not after discovery is already complete.
D. OCI Notifications send email notifications: OCI Notifications requires topic and subscription configuration linked to alarms to send emails; it does not automatically email upon resource discovery.
