OCI 1Z0-1067-25 Glossary: Key Terms

Use this glossary to clean up high-confusion OCI operations terms, then route misses back to the right support page.

High-value terms

• Alarm: The rule that fires when a monitored metric crosses a threshold.
• Audit trail: The history of control-plane actions recorded for review and investigation.
• Log group: The container used to organize logs in OCI Logging.
• Metric: A numeric operational signal collected over time.
• Notification: The message delivery path used when alarms or events need to alert someone or something.
• Resource Manager: OCI’s managed infrastructure-as-code orchestration service.
• Runbook: The documented operations procedure for handling a task or incident.
• Tagging discipline: The consistent labeling practice used for governance, cost tracking, and operations.
• Triage: The first-pass sorting step that decides what deserves attention first.
• Visibility: The ability to observe health, change, and failure signals clearly.

Common confusion pairs

• Metric vs log: Metrics summarize numeric behavior. Logs capture event detail and context.
• Alarm vs notification: An alarm decides when a threshold condition is met. A notification delivers the resulting message.
• Audit vs logging: Audit records control-plane actions. Logging captures broader service and application events.
• Automation vs manual fix: Automation makes repeatable operations safer. Manual fixes may be faster short term but are harder to govern.
• Troubleshooting vs remediation: Troubleshooting identifies cause. Remediation changes the environment to correct it.
