Database monitoring question

I don't want to get in to a lot of detail, so I will try to keep is really simple and short. I have a rather large database, and an application that can access that database and add/manipulate/etc. data within it. I'm looking for a way to run the application and to then see what tables within the database are affected and how. If there is any way to do this or something similar, I would really appreciate the help. Thanks.

Another option is to trace the session and use tkprof to interpret what happened.
You can issue a command to turn on trace. I think that is alter session set sqltrace = true;
There is also a way to turn on trace from a remote session.
After you trun it on your session should generate a trace file under the udump directory on the db server. You would run that file through tkprof.

Using JMX to database monitoring

Hello, I'm a software developer, and I want to use JMX to database monitoring.
I did sth to see in jconsole some data from our database, but Ive got problem to
refresh it. I mean when jconsole is running and somebody makes changes in DB
how can I see it on monitor ... ?? Something like dynamic MBeans ??
second question - is it possible to use MXBean in java 1.5 ??
thanks for answers
PS. we are using Java 5 unfortunetelly

oh I should say that:
-I'm using jconsole to monitoring jobs i DB;
-every job has its own MBean;
-of course if some changes in already defined jobs occure - its no problem;
Problem is when somebody create/delete jobs ... how can I using refresh button on jconsole get information about new job ?

Database monitoring and control i

Hi all,
I am looking for various options to monitor and control the database.
Could you provide your thoughts on this.

You will get more, faster and better responses to your questions when you learn that your questions should contain as much information about your interests as you can provide.
What you asked about database monitoring is pretty close to posting only question mark in you post. Like this : *?*
When you are going to car mechanic to ask him for advice about your car, you will not just tell him : I am looking for thoughts on achiving higher HP for my car,tell me ,how to do that? .
You will obviusly tell him at least what car you have, what model, what year was made and so on. You can apply almost the same logic when asking oracle questions here.
For zilion reasons , providing at least information about database release you are using is a 'must do' when asking a question.
Also, your first stop when looking for info about something that is so general as your question here suggests, should be http://tahiti.oracle.com/ , where you could eventually, as in this case , after few more clicks lead yourself to this, and after that enable yourself to ask more specific and concrete question.
By the way, your forum activity statistics are saying that you are one of those posters which is appearing here with the moto 'ask question-respond never' , and this attitude can discourage many forum members to help you because they prefer two-way communication, which you obviusly don't.

Rz20 remote database monitoring

Hi girus,
we have to monitor from our Solution Manager a java remote database. We have followed note 1139623, everything works well in transaction DB02 for this remote system except Alert Monitor Tree under Folder Alert . The icons are inactive and are not showing data.
We have already set flag "collect alert data" in transaction DBACOCKPIT.
Any ideas?

Hello,
Could you please check note:

If a database is installed on a remote server than the SAPLOCALHOST parameter should be maintained correctly in the agent profile, the value
for this parameter should be exactly the same as the SAPDBHOST parameter value in the instance profile. If this is correctly done than in the
transaction AL15 automatically the flag "DB server" will be selected for the related SAPCCMSR agent RFC destination (note 444947).

Database Monitoring

Hi guys,
I am pretty new into Oracle Database Administration. I am currently tasked with database monitoring and I would like to ask you guys what parameters or aspects of database we have to constantly monitor? I know for sure we have to monitor the harddisk space, tablespace free space and latch. However, apart from those parameters, anything else I have to pay attention to? And what are the threshold for each parameter? For example, what is the good percentage of freespace to determine when to expand a tablespace?
I would really appreciate your view as I am completely clueless. I have checked some books on this matter but most of them jump straight to the finetuning without revealing any detail on the monitoring parameter, threshold, etc.
My situation is worse since I am the only DBA and the only one competent in it (*sigh*).
Thank you.

Db2 database monitoring

Hi,
first time i am working db2 database on support project (linux with db2) what are the things i have to monitor on db2 database level daily.appreciate ur help.
Thanku

Query seems very generic, info could be found out by googling as well.
However, if you can't, I would advise you to start with DBACOCKPIT transaction in SAP - most important and easiest way to monitor DB2 in SAP.
For e.g. please refer the link
https://websmp108.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001298992010E.PDF
More guides for database monitoring and administration, you can find on service.sap.com and http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/db6

How to configure the database monitoring (DBA Cockpit) after Support pack

Hi,
I did the Support Pack Upgrade for BW system and i ran SGEN as well, now i need to configure the database , could you please suggest how to configure the database monitoring (DBA Cockpit) after Support Pack Upgrade.
Server is MSSQL , Component is SAP NetWeaver 2004s and OS is Windows NT.
Plesae suggest.
Chandu.

Hi,
You are right. SAP delivers this functionality from SP-12. So when you have applied the SP-12, you must have done these config steps to enable the DBA Cockpit.
If you have done these steps earlier, So you must have DBA Cockpit enable right now and putting extra SPs like 13, 14 and so on, should not be a matter.
Now if you have not performed those config steps before, Please do them now and you will be able to use DBA cockpit.
Please understand that SP12 is the base to run DBA Cockpit.
With Regards,
Saurabh

RCA:Database Monitoring error for SAP Systems on OS/4000 with DB4

Hello Experts,
We are trying to add ECC systems in DATABASE monitoring(DBACOCKPIT) in RCA workcenter of solman 7.0 ehp1 sp26, the DBSID of the systems are shown as *LOCAL.hence the system is not getting added .This is the case only for system on OS/400 and DB4.
The DBSID in RCA is fetched from SMSY-Which is fetched from SLD->The data supplier in ECC pushing the data to SLD
The DBSID in System(Menu)-Status is showing as LOCAL, hence this DBSID(LOCAL) is reported in SLD->SMSY
any pointers on this?

Hi Nilesh,
Please have a look into below SAP note

Tns ping command is also not working when we give host name as virtual host of JAVA system
but when we change it to phyiscal IP address of the cluster server it is working fine.
Could you please let me know any setting need to be done
Sincerely
Paresh

Hi Paresh,
>> Tns ping command is also not working when we give host name as virtual host of JAVA system
but when we change it to phyiscal IP address of the cluster server it is working fine.
>> SQL error 12505 ORA-12505: TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor
Virtual hostname must be resolved on both hosts while configuring SMD. Otherwise you'll not able to access Oracle Listener.

Best Practices for NCS/PI Server and Application Monitoring question

Hello,
I am deploying a virtual instance of Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 (1.2.1.012) on an ESX infrastructure. This is being deployed in an enterprise enviroment. I have questions around the best practices for moniotring this appliance. I am looking to monitor application failures (services down, db issues) and "hardware" (I understand this is a virtual machine, but statistics on the filesystem and CPU/Memory is good).
Firstly, I have enabled via the CLI the snmp-server and set the SNMP trap host destination. I have created a notification receiver for the SNMP traps inside the NCS GUI and enabled the "System" type alarm. This type includes alarms like NCS_DOWN and PI database is down. I am trying to understand what the difference between enabling SNMP-SERVER HOST via the CLI and setting the Notification destination inthe GUI is? Also how can I generate a NCS_DOWN alarm in my lab. Doing NCS stop does not generate any alarms. I have not been able to find much information on how to generate this as a test.
Secondly, how and which processes should I be monitoring from the Management Station? I cannot easily identify the main NCS procsses from the output of ps -ef when logged in the shell as root.
Thanks guys!

1.) What is the cost of having the scope in a <jsp:useBean> tag set to 'session'? I am aware that there are a list of scopes like page, application, etc. and that if i use 'session' my variable will live for as long as that session is alive. (did i get this right?). You should rather look to the functional requirements instead of costs. If the bean need to be session scoped (e.g. maintain the logged in user), then do it so. If it just need to be request scoped (e.g. single page form data), then keep it request scoped.
2.)If the JSP Page where i use that <useBean> is to be accessed hundred of times a day, will it compensate my server resources? Right now i am using the Sun Glassfish Server.It will certainly eat resources. Just supply enough CPU speed and memory to a server. You cannot expect that a webserver running at a Pentium 500MHz with 256MB of memory can flawlessly serve 100 simultaneous users at the same second. But you may expect that it can serve 100 users per 24 hour.
3.) Can you suggest best practice in memory management given the architecture i described above?Just write code so that it doesn't unnecessarily eat memory. Only allocate memory if your application need to do so. You should rather let the hardware depend on the application requirements, not to let the application depend on the hardware specs.
4.)Also, I have implemented connection pooling in my architecture, but my application is to be used by thousands of clients everyday.. Can the Sun Glassfish Server take care of that or will I have to purchase a powerful sever?Glassfish is just an application server software, it is not server hardware. Your concerns are rather hardware related.
