target

A single component that you want to monitor or configure with Enterprise Manager. To manage a target, you install the Management Agent on the host where the target resides.

Examples of a target include a single Oracle database instance, a group of databases, an Oracle Application Server instance, a Web application that your customers visit to investigate or buy your products, and a Sun Solaris host computer, including its memory, disks, and CPU.

All these targets can be managed by Oracle Enterprise Manager. A complete list of the target types you can manage is included in Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control Installation and Configuration.
