Control monitoring alerts- RAR 5.3

I've few mitigating controls in palce with frequency in reports tab as 1. I'm sure that the action given in the reports tab was not executed in the backend system by the monitor but still I do not get alterts for control monitoring in Alert monitor tab. Please advise

Plz. note the correction:
It is not 9 character or 5 character risk id that makes the difference. I was not getting control monitoring alert because the 9 character riskid I specified in the mitigating control was a permission level rule id and SAP says that from 5.3 onwards permission rules are not considered for any analysis. So we have to mention the riskid with * or we can specify the action level rule id to receive the control monitoring alerts.

Risk Analysis and Remediation Mitigating Control Monitoring Alerts

Hello,
We have configured an alert for a Mitigating Control. The Monitor must execute the report every day (report frequency = 1) or an alert email is sent to the Risk Owner.
The Risk Owner recieves the Alert email and the Alert is logged on the Alerts tab only for the first two days after the report is not executed by the Monitor. Is there a setting somewhere that controls why the alert is not generated after two days?
thanks
Tammi

Correction.
The email is only sent for 2 days. The alert is logged on the Alert Monitor tab every day.

Alert Generation, Control Monitoring

Hi,
I am trying to understand how the Alert Monitoring background jobs work. I understand that Alert monitoring for Confliction Actions and Critical Actions will generate allerts when conflicting actions or critical actions actually are performed, but how is this for the Control Monitoring? Will it create allerts when users/roles with conflicts are actually assigned a mitigating control, or will alerts also be created when mitigating controls are created but not assigned to a specific users/roles risk violation?
Thank you!
Ingar Steinsvik

Did you check the documenation on this ("Scheduling Alert Generation" section in GRC 5.3 config guide):
Control Monitoring:
This alert type is a mitigation level analysis, which generates mitigation alerts.
During the generation of alerts, the user and transaction information is passed to the risk
analysis. If you select the Consider Mitigated Users option, alerts are generated on user who
are associated with a mitigated risk. The generation of these alert types are useful for
transaction usage in Segregation of Duties (SoD) Review and User Access Review (UAR).
You can also set up a background job for sending alert notification via email based on the
alert type. By selecting Conflicting Actions and/or Critical Actions alert types, notifications are
sent to Risk Owners. Selecting Control Monitoring alert type sends notification to the
Management Approver of the Mitigating Control.

RAR: Mitigation Control Monitoring

Hi,
I have configured and executed alert generation job but we are not able to obtain the alerts for mitigation control monitoring.
What we have done:
1) Define mitigation control including transaction XXXX to be executed daily
2) Monitor has executed thansaction XXXX on day 1
3) Alert generation job has been executed on day 1 (after step 2)
3) Monitor has not executed transaction XXXX on day 2
4) Alert generation job has been executed on day 2 BUT alert for control monitoring are not obtained.
Does anyone know why we are not getting the alerts for control monitoring?
Thanks in advance. Kind regards,
Imanol

What is value of number of days for this Monitoring in Mit Control?
Is email id of Monitor maintained in Alert tab?

Grid Control monitoring a particular logfile

Hi all,
I have a doubt, is it possible to Grid Control monitor a specific log file?
I have a log file where a register a script execution status, is it possible to raise an alert on Grid control just keeping the eyes on this file ?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Emerson

Yes.
Create an external table for that logfile, then create a user defined metric that queries the table to retrieve the execution status results, and define key values in that metric to raise warning or critical alerts based on the execution status.
For example, checking for success on a data pump job (admittedly contrived and inefficient) with a logfile called 'impdp.log' sitting in /tmp:
sqlplus / as sysdba
create or replace directory TEST_EXTERN_DIR as '/tmp';
grant read on directory TEST_EXTERN_DIR to someuser;
exit;
sqlplus someuser/somepassword
create table myextern ( string varchar(255) )
organization external ( default directory TEST_EXTERN_DIR
access parameters ( records delimited by newline ) location ( 'impdp.log' ) );
select * from myextern where string like 'Job%completed%';Then create the user-defined metric, in this case as a string metric run by someuser with a comparison operator of CONTAINS with a warning value of 'error' and a critical value of 'fail', set the metric to run as frequently as necessary along with any response actions necessary if desired.

How to monitor Alert file large in EM Grid

Hello,
In Enterprise Manager 9 we used to monitor Alert File Large.
I am not able find this in Grid Control.
Can anybody tell me how to monitor this metric in OEM 10 GRid?
Best regards,
Jvries

You must to select the host target and metric and policy issues
Select all metrics and search File or Directory size MB
You can to add the file when you want to monitor the size and
you must to enable a response action when the critical theshold appear
The response action must be a shell script like this
#/bin/ksh
#if you want backup
cp /directory/file.log /backup_destination/file.log.bak
#for clean the file and his size was empth
/directory/file.logRemember that you want enable the credentials for host and the owner of agent had rights of read and write in the location of file

How can I connect my Powerbook or iPad Retina via HDMI cable to 4K digital video camera to be a "control monitor"

How can I connect my Powerbook or iPad Retina via HDMI cable to 4K digital video camera to be a "control monitor"

That won't work with the iPad, unless maybe there's a "control monitor" app somewhere.

Operations Manager - KMS Idle Minutes Monitor Alerts - False Positives As Event ID 12290 Still Being Logged

Hi all,
I am using System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager with the Key Management Service Management Pack at version 6.0.7234.0, and I keep receiving the following alert in Operations Manager:
"Idle Minutes Monitor Alert:
Key Management Service (KMS) inactivity exceeded threshold
Knowledge:
Summary:
The purpose of this rule is to alert system administrators to a possible KMS or network outage. This rule monitors the end-to-end operation of KMS activation. A notification event is created by KMS if no activation or renewal requests were logged by KMS
(activity event 12290) in the specified time interval. In addition to new activations, periodic renewal requests are expected to occur (default is 7 days). Whether or not this alert is serious depends on the number of machines in the KMS environment, how many
are actually connected, and the configured renewal interval.
Causes:
Any failure or incorrect configuration of the KMS service, other Windows components, firewall, hardware, network or routers can trigger the Idle Minutes Alert. This alert can also result from normal behavior, since it is possible that not enough machines
attempted to activate or renew during the specified time interval.
Resolutions:
The first step is to determine whether there really is a problem. Start with a known good KMS client and run (with elevated privileges) the script slmgr.vbs -ato . If the activation/renewal fails, it will report an error code. You can direct the client to
connect to a specific KMS machine by using the slmgr.vbs -skms option. The request event (12288) and response event (12289) in the Windows Application event log may provide additional information, including the identity of failing KMS machines. If there has
been a failure, check the following:
Software Licensing service (slsvc) is running.
Other KMS machine behavior is normal.
KMS firewall port is open (default is TCP 1688).
Attempt to connect to KMS using telnet to the KMS port(you won’t be able to do anything other than connect)
Use a network monitor (e.g. netmon) to capture and trace network problems.
There is one Idle Minutes Monitor that is used to monitor for activity. It may be desirable to adjust the time threshold, depending on expected KMS activity."
Despite what the alert says, there are activity events with ID 12290 being logged, but they are appearing under the 'Key Management Service' log instead of the general 'Application' log. I know that my clients are activating with the server without
any problems as I have run slmgr.vbs -ato with success on a number of them, and none are stating that activation is required. This issue was previously raised here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/1391acf8-f0be-4a48-9039-8d24e275f1fd/kms-idle-time-monitor-raise-wrong-alerts?forum=operationsmanagermgmtpacks, but I am running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and the hotfix KB981314 comes
up as 'not applicable to this computer' so I assume it is part of SP1 now. I have also tried installing KB2692929, as that was cited as being a possible fix here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/8ec8ae5b-a310-4b0f-9a5f-e0599bceb93a/kms-managementpack?forum=operationsmanagermgmtpacks, however I am still seeing the same alerts.
Would greatly appreciate any further suggestions!
Many thanks

Hi,
I've checked for all the events that are generated by our servers, and there are periods of time where no requests are received for up to 18 hours, so that is no doubt why the alerts are appearing (we then sometimes see five requests in the same minute,
but there we go). I'll need to adjust the thresholds.
Thank you for your help, Chunky.1, I'll mark your reply as the answer, as it was very helpful in understanding the alert.
For anyone else who needs to check this, create a PowerShell script using the following content, and place your own details into the relevant sections in bold (without the brackets, of course). This will generate a csv file which will have the server
name in one column and the time that the request event was generated - you can then check the gaps between the requests. The script is quick and dirty, with no checks along the way, so feel free to embellish it as required.
Out-File "<directory to place file in>\KMS_check_results.csv"
$results = get-eventlog -ComputerName <KMS server hostname> -logname 'Key Management Service'|where{$_.message -match "<String which identifies servers instead of clients>"}
$filteredresults = @()
foreach($event in $results){
    #This splits up the message into sections, separated by commas, and places each section as an element in an array
    $event.Message -split ","|foreach{
        if($_ -match "<server domain suffix - e.g. contoso.com>"){
            $eventserver = $_
    $timegenerated = $event.TimeGenerated
    $filteredresults += New-Object PSObject -Property @{
        Server = $eventserver
        TimeGenerated = $timegenerated
$filteredresults|select-object server,timegenerated|export-csv "<directory to place file in>\KMS_check_results.csv" -NoTypeInformation

Configuring HP-Openview to monitor alerts of CCMS in SAP system via SOLMAN

Hi All,
I need to configure CCMS in SOLMAN and then monitor the same alerts via HP-Openview because thats what is used in my company to monitor alerts.I have a few queries regarding the same:
1. Is it possible to configure CCMS in SOLMAN and then monitor the same alerts via HP-Openview.
2. How actually does HP-Openview work regarding picking up monitoring data from CCMS in SAP.
3. Does it work like CCMS would be generating logs of the alerts and stored some where and we could congigure HP-OV to look for a keyword in the logfile by giving HP-OV the path of that logfile and as soon as it comes across that keyword it would generate an alert.
4. Do we need any addon to be downloaded ( also want to know whether its free or cost is involved) and configured in SAP under CCMS that would help Hp-OV to detect alerts.

Ashish Robinson

Solman Setup system Monitoring alert threshold value for Filesystem issue

Hi,
Our solman system is SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0 sp level 0024.
We have setup the alerts System Monitoring alerts from DSWP in solman system for our target production system .
But while assigning individual threshold values of filesystem freespace in MB for windows operating system disks C:,D:..all the values are getting changed after saving to same value.(i.e if I update C:\ disk value and click on save rest of disks are also getting updated to this value).
The same works fine for filessytems if target system OS is unix.
I have tried the examples suggested in note:522453 but it nothing changed.Please suggest.

Hi Sonal
when you want to save the thresholds for only the one MTE you set
you need to click on

-> PROPERTIES
-> USE FOR INDIVIDUAL MTE

Cloud Service Monitor Alert Can't be Created

Hi Team,
we had a cloud service deployed at Azure North Ireland Data Center,
i would like to create monitor for the role instance, but when creating alert it shows an error, and the alert can't be created.
thanks in advance

Hello Baker,
Thanks for posting here!
I reproduced the issue on my system it works fine for me.
As per the description provided what I have understood is that the configuration did not go successfully or could be a problem in execution.
Delete the configuration and try to reconfigure the Alerts.
Sometimes it could be the browser issue. Try deleting cache and cookies and then try again or try with different browser.
If it doesn't work, I suggest you could try to deploy a new cloud service and the try to configure the Alerts.
You might want to check the below mentioned links for better understanding:

And a Video for setting up

Let me know if that helps!

Liquid transfer control/monitoring using valves, pumps, & sensors

Hi there,
My project is writing a labview program to control & monitor the transfer of a liquid from a tanker truck to a 70-tonne storage tank, and from the storage tank to multiple 3-tonne railroad tankers. We will be using a NI controller (I don't remember the name of it right now) to control this system. The piping network for this transfer process consists of several remote control valves, 1 flow meter, 2 pumps (centrifugal & diaphragm), level sensors, & load cells. The labview program needs to:
1. control the flow of liquid (i.e. start/stop transfer, open/close valves & activate/deactivate pumps when certain setpoints are reached)
2. monitor the inventory of liquid in the tanker truck, storage tank, & railroad tanker (flow meter will indicate the flow rate, level senors will be in both tankers to indicate levels, and storage tank has a load cell which can be used to indicate the inventory of liquid iside the tank)
The transfer is split into 2 phases: tanker truck to storage tank & storage tank to railroad tanker. Both are separate processes (i.e. they do not occur simultaneously). So my labview program needs to be able to switch between these two processes.
I am relatively new to using labview, and this is a pretty tall order. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on how I could set the program up? Or possibly lead me to some example programs I could look at to help me out.
I appreciate any feedback.
Thanks,
Daryn

Daryn,
You are right that "this is a pretty tall order" for a LabVIEW beginner. However, if you are patient and do not try to do too mcuh too quickly, you should be able to get it working.
First, I recommend that you get some LV training to make sure that you are sound on the fundamentals before you do mcuh on this project. Fumbling around making novice errors could become a big problem for a project like this.
Next, break the problem down into "bite-sized" chunks. You will need to be able to read from the sensors. Write to controllers. Perform logical decision-making. Display data to the operators. Probably log information to files. Certainly handle error conditions. LabVIEW makes it easy to keep things modular by using subVIs.
Also, carefully design the program before you write much code. Your system will probably include a state machine. Document the states, what happens in each state, and the conditions for transition to other states. (Do not forget error conditions and "that will never happen" possibilites). This state design document will make writing the program much easier.
Then look at the examples which come with LV. There are examples for data acquistion, for control, for state machines, and for other relevant parts of the code. The examples most likely will not be directly useful in your final program but will save you lots of time in learning how to do some of these essential parts of your project.
