ALSB service monitoring implementation

We're in the process of planning an ALSB implementation and we're evaluating it's service monitoring capabilities. By default the monitoring is written to file so my understanding is that once the esb is recycled all metrics will be lost, so what we're planning to do is persist the metrics to DB. Reviewing the WLDF information, it indicates that you can use DB rather than the file store.
Wondering if anyone else has done this and if there's any recommendations or considerations for using the DB over file store, my primary concern would be around ESB performance.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Siva,
In 10g, there is no such way by which you may get the consolidated view of both your OSB and BPEL from the perspective of logs, trace files, alerts, server health checkups etc.
OSB 11g has been released and I think it should possible there (not sure as have not worked with 11g yet)

Anuj

I've been getting this problem as well. However, the thing that confuses me is that if I use the command-line client (as described in the tutorial), everything seems to work fine. However, if I use the test console, it fails to work (giving the fault described in an ancestor of this post).
I've tried added a 'Rename' operation, but I just get the java1 namespace as well.
If the problem was just the namespace issue as stated, wouldn't the command-line client have a similar problem?

Windows Service Monitoring

Hello All,
I have implemented a Windows Service Monitoring to look after some custom windows services on a Windows Server with a 3rd party piece of software installed. The monitor has been working as expected and has kept an eye on the services and alerted when they
have stopped.
However, the support team are now reporting that they are alerted when the service stops and starts. And they receive the same alert regardless, stating that the service has been stopped.
Is there something I am missing from my configuration? How can I amend it so that the support team are only alerted when the service is stopped? And why would it alert when its started?
Hope someone can help
James

This actually sounds like a notification issue. Do they have notifications set up to send them emails when an alert goes from one state to the next? What I mean by that is, New Alert, Closed Alert. When setting up notifications, it's a
common mistake to not include the alert criteria, which will cause behavior like this, ops teams getting several emails when the state of the alert is changed by the system or operator. If you look at the alert details in the email, you may notice, a
slight difference in the resolution state field, if that is displayed.
If this is the issue, find the notification subscription and have it changed so that they only receive alerts with a resolution state of NEW.

Global Service Monitor (GSM) Config

Hello all, I have recently configured GSM with the external monitoring services being in the U.S.
When I look at the monitor - Authoring>MP Objects>Monitors>Multi-URL Template (*Monitor Name*) it shows enabled is set to true.
However when I look at - Monitoring>Monitoring>Application Monitoring>Web Application Availability Monitoring>Web Application Status - The monitor does not have a check mark next to it.
When I look at - Monitoring>Monitoring>Application Monitoring>Web Application Availability Monitoring>Test State - none of the five external servers are checked and they all say "Not Monitored"
So I'm trying to figure out if it's enabled or not and if not where do I go to enable it? When I have setup internal (Non GSM) web tests they are just enabled so I'm not sure what's different with this one.
Thank you,
Matt

Hi,
Would you please restart the health service on the external servers. And we may try to flush health service state and caches for those server.
In addition, have you followed the below link to install GSM:

Having Issue with Service Monitor Report when using Oracle DB

Hi,
I set up Oracle XE to store monitoring and message data for Service Monitor. I configured the Database Connection in Policy Studio, and deployed the configuration. When starting the Service Monitor, I got "There are no reporting nodes configured." error.

It looks like the repConfig.xml file needs to be updated. If so, what elements? Anything else i am missing?

You need to add a Gateway node the service monitor.
To do this browse to http://HOST:8040/
Using the default port, you can connect to the Service Monitor interface in a browser, where HOST points to the IP address or hostname of the machine on which Service Monitor is installed.
Right mouse click and add the Gateway node.

Issue in Global Services Monitor GSM

Dear all,
I'm facing a problem in Global Services Monitor.
The Resources pool contains 4 Management Servers; 2 old and 2 recently installed.
The GSM was installed and was working normally on the old Management Servers.
But, after increasing the number of management servers to be 4 instead of two, the problem appeared.
The GSM is firing alerts on the new MS's and their state are critical (old 2 servers are healthy).
The alert description is as below:
Global Service Monitor Modules: Failed to discover Global Service Monitor locations.

Hi
Is there any requirement to install the Microsoft Root Certificate on the server where SCOM console is working? Shall I need to purchase Windows Azure Subscription also for GSM? Please let me know.
The scenario is - I have one SCOM server (Including all the server roles on the single server) and other server where VMM server and SCOM console is installed. I have installed GSM Management Packs on the SCOM server and configured one Web Availability Monitor
to be monitored from external servers (e.g. Chicago).

Service monitoring is not showing all the services when i create a service monitor under Management pack templates.

Hi All,
I am using SCOM 2007 R2 CU4 in my environment. I want to do a service monitoring on specific agents. When i try creating this service monitor which comes under the Management pack template when i select the service which i want to monitor it does not
show all the services in the drop down.
For example - I have Windows audio service which is present on the machine, But it is not showing in the service list.
So from the services stating from "W" i see only 5 in SCOM and in services.msc in the Agent i see more than 5.
Below is the screen shot.
Can any one please help.
Gautam.75801

Hi Yan Li,
So based on your above suggestion, If the services are already managed / monitored by a specific
management pack those services will not appear here in the Wizard while creating this type of a Management pack object alert right ?
If that is the case why does not the same reflect here in the operations console in the Services monitor
TAB ?

Setting up service monitoring on a group of servers, but only alerting when the service is down on all servers

Hey All -
I have the need to monitor one service that exist on 3 servers, but the service only runs on one of the servers at a time, and the servers are not set up as a cluster. Any ideas around how to accomplish this?

Hi,
Create a service monitor as previously described and then create a distributed application and add the new service monitor for all servers to a component group. Then set the health rollup to Best state of any member - I think that should work...

CAD service monitor requires SNMP config

When attempting to run the CAD service monitor on the server the page loads but the connection to the server for process status times out on the SNMP connection.
URL = http://<CAD server>:8088/smc/monitor.jsp
Error Message = Status: [Tue Sep 06 15:12:47 EST 2011] java.lang.Exception: SplkSnmpHandler: snmpTimeoutError
The system is licensed and running with all other functionality working as tested for UAT. The Cisco SNMP is enabled to send traps to a remote host and the CAD postinstall is configured to generate traps to the same host.
As the windows SNMP client is disabled due to the UCCE install is there any additional config needed on the CISCO SNMP to get this functionality working for CAD?

Can anyone running CAD 8.x please test the monitor.jsp and post if it's broken!
Even the TAC lab is down.

How to create Service Monitor - best Way

I have a task at hand :
Creating monitor to alert when a service is stopped.
We are using SCOM 2012
I checked and found various ways to do so http://www.bictt.com/blogs/bictt.php/2011/03/16/scom-monitoring-a-service-part1
My requirement is : there are like 100 such services on 100 different windows computers that i need to monitor.
The services are not common , so 2 computers have the same service , Maybe some service that i need to be monitored be on 2 computers but overall every service is unique.
What is my best option:
1.Create a basic unit monitor and target to Windows computer class ? Create is as disabled ? Override for just the machine that has it.
Will it clutter my Windows Server class health explorer . (How bad is that as per performance)
2.Create a Service monitor using Windows Service templates
Do i have to create 100 target groups , as i have to Target the monitor to specific computer only
Since template service monitor create discoveries , targets etc on its own (Am i going to clutter SCOM with a lot of those) 100
3.Do i create a attribute for each service , so as to extend the windows base class to discover the computer that has specific service (Using registry)
too much work is it and how good of an option is this.
4.MP Authoring ,Create new class discovery based on WMI / Registry to find computer and then target the monitor
What would you do in such a case.

An example is the windows service monitoring from the Windows Management Packs. Microsoft does not discover any of these services. The MPs discover the Windows 2003 \ 2008 \ 2012 Operating System Class and the basic service monitors are targetted at
this class. This means it is relatively light weight monitoring (less overhead on the agent and less discovery information in the databases) but it does mean that you can't add any of these services to a distributed application or report on their availability.
You don't report on individual monitors but on objects which may have many monitors targetted at them.

If you want to actually report on the availability of this windows service (or add it to a Distributed Application) then you do need to discover it - either via the Authoring Template or authoring your own discoveries.
Only you can decide what you need and you might have a different need for each service depending on what it is doing.
Jonathan Almquist has a good walk through here about how to change service monitoring to allow for consecutive occurrences of a service being unavailable but it is deep authoring.

Invoking an ALSB Service

Hi all !
I'm new to BPM Studio but I have read that you can easily invoke your ALSB Service with BPM Studio 6.0.
So I have added in the Catalog a Module which maps my ALSB Service. So far, so good. But how can I invoke my Service from inside an Activity ?
I have seen the Getting started's guide and I couldn't find any information about it.....Is there any good chapter/tutorial which explains how to invoke Modules from inside activities ?
Thanks a lot
Francesco

Hi Francesco.
If you have already mapped the external resources and have catalogued the components needed then you've done the biggest part of the work! :-)
You must call the method that you want to use into an activity simply declarig a variable (local or instance depending on your needs) that impersonate your service.
Initialize it calling its constructor.
eg.
Supposing to have a method returning something, accepting something and something else...
myAlsbSvc As MyCatalog.MyALSBServices.MyService
myAlsbSvc = MyService()
retValue = myAlsbSvc.myMethod(arg1, arg2)That's all. Hope that this will help.

CUCMS Service Monitor 8.0 and 1040

Hi there
We have installed CUCMS 8.0, we also have Service Monitor 8.0 installed.
When trying to configure a 1040 sensor we are unable to add the IP address of the 1040 sensor since, there is no option to add an IP address of the sensor. when we go to edit the configuration we see that the IP address of the sensor is the mac address and we are unable to edit this information as well. Therefore we suspect that this is a bug.
We are unable to pick up the 1040 sensor.
Attached is the screenshot of our problem.
Please advise is this is a bug?
Many thanks
Shabeer

The sensors do a DHCP.requestto get IP, TFTP server addres
So you need to setup a server that will respond with an IP for this mac address and give the IP address of a TFTP server (option 150).
You Service Monitor or CallManager can be such a TFTP server.
There on the TFTP server you must place a file called QOV.CFG
In Service Monitor -> Configuration -> Sensors you can make config this file, then copy it to the TFTP server
It tells the sensor what images to download and which service monitor it should register with.

Michel

thank you in advance and have a nive day

Thanks a lot .

IP Comms Service Monitor

All,
We are working high level requirements for a US Gov sponsor relating to VOIP recording and playback.
We do not currently own or have under our control any of the CISCO Works IP Comms applications.
In general, can the IP Comms Service Monitor provide 3rd party monitoring, storage, and playback of sessions/conferences?
Thank you,
D. Glover

Hi Scott,
Thanks for your answer,
I resolve this problem by checking the parameter recommended of CCM in Entreprise Parameter and I restart the service of CDR in CCM.
In the oder hand I had some problem with CUSSM that can't to collect the data from Service Monitor. so,I follow the procedure "Configure Service Statistics Manager" and I exectute the command: ConfigureSSMToSSLOM without spicefy the port number (the port number that I use is defferent in the defaut port).
Now, when I want to connect to CUSSM I have this error message:
can you please tell me who to resolve this problem?
Thanks a lot
best regards,
Omar
