notes: OEM is on-premises management software. Throughput depends on the Oracle Management Server (OMS)
  sizing, the OEM repository database, and the agent fleet topology — there are no upstream-published
  per-second numeric rate limits. The OEM REST API throughput is bounded by WebLogic and the underlying
  repository.
description: Oracle Enterprise Manager throughput is operator-controlled — the OEM Management Server
  is an on-prem WebLogic deployment with its repository database in Oracle. There is no centrally enforced
  per-tenant rate limit; the EMCLI / REST API performance is shaped by OMS sizing and back-end DB performance.

    description: Follow Oracle's OEM sizing guide (small / medium / large) to provision OMS instances
      and repository DB capacity for your agent count.

    description: Tune agent upload intervals to balance freshness vs OMS load.
  - name: Backoff
    description: Honor 429 / 503 from OCI O+M services; for OMS REST, retry with backoff on transient
      WebLogic errors.
