Grid Control Monitoring Solutions

What are the Good solutions of Grid control/Plug Inns for monitoring solutions of DB?

Grid control is the best way to monitor your
grid computing infrastructure.
You can monitor OS level statistics, application level , and database in a RAC or grid environment or standalone. You can do end to end moitoring and easily view how much time is spent in the database, applicaiton server amd set events and threshholds for applicaiton server database and even network latencies.
Grid control is the way forward for cluster computing environments as well

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.

Grid Control Monitoring

Hi Everyone,
We are planning to deploy 11g Grid Control on our Environment. Before that i was asked to document list of all the default items that are monitored with Grid Control and list of all the default items that are not monitored. I know some of the default items that are monitored like space, alert log, high avaliability, process capacity.
Can i get any document that specifically explains the default items monitored and items that re not monitored by Grid Control?

In GRID you can configure multiple targets.
GRID can be used for montoring,
to track the status of performance,
I/o's ,
RMAN backup job reports,
Tablespace administration,
Threshold settings
Online reorganization, rebuild indexex, gather stats.
& so on

Configuring DG's Standby database in 10g Grid Control monitoring.

Hi.
I am facing issues to configure "for monitoring" the standby instance of a 10g database. If someone on this forum have experience, please share, will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
/SKH

FYI we have a tar open on this "standby databases not monitored correctly" ie grid is trying to collect metric from a sb db when it can not b/c its only mounted. The fix will be in 10.2.0.4. We are pushing for a back port to 10.2.0.3 b/c we missed a corruption in our sb db b/c we could not monitor the values and apply different templates.

Can grid control monitor Databases on different operating systems?

I have a GC on LINUX REDHAT AS 3/4. Can I use that to monitor and administer Databases created on a SUN OS?. Can agents running on different OS talk to GC that is running on a different OS?.
If so, any limitations?. Pointers to a doc would be appreciated.
Thanks

How to monitor RAC services and nodeapps in Grid Control

Hi,
I have created a number of RAC service names such as GL on a 2-node RAC and would like to use Grid control 10.2.0.2 to monitor the availability of those services and nodeapps. I was not able to find anything in Grid Control that would allow me to configure that. What are being monitored now are the listeners, database instances and nodes. Would it be possible to monitor more than just the RAC listeners, instances and nodes?
thanks.

I don´t think that there is an out-of-the-box metric. However, CRS monitors your services and Grid Control monitors CRS errors. If you need more granular monitoring, I have 2 suggestions:
1) user callouts:
[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/rac.111/b28254/hafeats.htm#RACAD7133]
2) extending oracle enterprise manager
I have written a paper on how to extend oem at [http://www.ora-solutions.net/web/papers/]
"Extending Oracle Enterprise Manager to collect HP-UX glance data"
You can follow the instructions to build a new target type called "RAC_SERVICE" and add your serivces as targets, e.g. S_BATCH, S_ONLINE, S_HR.

Figures in Grid Control and Enterprise Manager Console don't match!

Hi,
I have just installed Oracle 10g Grid Control and it is managing an existing database on another server. It appears to gather information as expected in most areas (I can look at the alert log through grid control and it is up to date to the nearest 60 seconds as I expect) but today I looked at how full my undo tablespace is and the figures seemed completely wrong. When looking through grid control it showed me that Undo was 20% full. When I looked in the old java console, it showed it was 30% full!
Is there any reason why figures in Grid Control would not be accurate or up to date? I have no error messages and it seems to be gathering data fine.
Is it more likely the old java console is not accurate? (I've always found it accurate in the past I think!).
These are Solaris Sparc servers, Oracle 10.2.0.3 Grid Control monitoring an Oracle 10.2.0.3 database on a remote server via management agent.
Thanks,
Paula

And this morning my old console says 21%, and the new Grid Control says 14%. So they both seem to be gathering the info and putting it out but they have completely different opinions on how much space is used. I think that makes the whole thing fairly useless. Not so glad I spent an age trying to get grid control set up now!!!
Any thoughts much appreciated!!!!
Thanks,
Paula

Grid control Installation.

Hello Everybody,
I have to immplement the 10g grid control and the scenario's goes like this.
I have database installed on HP-UX 11.11i and a Windows server.
Now can I install the grid agent on HP-UX(database server) and a OMS(repository) on Windows server 2003.
Is there any compatibility issues.
Eagarly waiting for your responses?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
What I understood out of the description is ...
You have 2 servers
1) HP UX ====> Already one database is running which you want to monitor after implementing grid control
2) Windows server =====> Here you are planning to install grid control 10g mean OMS repository as per your quote
First,
You can install Grid Control in any of the 2 servers it is available for HPUX as well as Windows.
Grid control monitors targets (i.e. databases, hosts, listeners etc.) through Agent software which is available for all the
flavours of unix and windows. So, you can install grid control on any of the box and monitor both the boxes. There will
be no compatibility issues.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Grid Control Perl Scripts Causing 100% CPU

I have a Grid installation on a cluster of three databases. It periodically shows that the CPU is at 100%. When I check, it is a number of Perl scripts that are executed by the agent.
Killing the Perl scripts returns CPU usage back to normal. The operating system is Red Hat, and the databases and clusterware Oracle 10.2.0.4.
Anyone have experience with this. I've looked on Metalink, but haven't seen anything.
Thanks,
John

I nearly fell off my chair laughing at the ludicrous suggestion of bouncing the box!!!
When you say: Grid installation on a cluster of three databases
What do you mean?!
Grid control monitoring 3 rac databases?
Grid control with a rac database as its repository?
Version of Grid control?!

Monitoring Oracle Glassfish or Generic URL with Oracle Grid Control

How are people monitoring Oracle Glassfish with Oracle Grid Control?
I really just need to monitor the URL right now, is the only method to setup a system and monitor a generic web test with a beacon?

I would think this is indeed the only way to monitor the URL.
Perhaps you could try a solution in creating your own plug-in.
Check http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/extensions/index.html for this.

Batch remove all default policys on all targets monitored by Grid Control.

Hi all,
I have been searching for a way on how to remove all default policy's that are attached to the target after they have been added into the Grid Control.
I have been trying with monitoring templates, but without any luck. Yes it changes values but it does not remove non template listed policy's.
There must be a way to do this, without manually do it on all 400+ targets.
All ideas of interest.
Best regz,
/Robban

Nice it worked just fine.
Thanks for the input.
Dont know why I didn't think of disabling the policy's, but i guess that i goy snowed in on the removal part.
Also ran into a new problem. (Unable to apply a monitoring template to a group with more then 100 targets)
Found the solution on metalink: Note:455279.1
Its a bug and there is a OneOff for it: "Patch 5573244"
After applying that patch it worked fine.

How to monitor ODI in Grid Control

Hello
We are using Grid Control 11.1.0.1.0 and ODI 11.1.1.5.0.
We were previously using a grep command on the server that ODI was running from to monitor if it was up or not.
Since the (OEM) upgrade we have lost this metric and would like to take a more elegant approach to monitoring the state of ODI.
(We didn't install ODI as part of a WebLogic Server install, it is stand alone and therefore the plugins or usual way to monitor are not relevant to us.)
Is there a way I can have Grid (via a UDM for instance) go into the database and query for a process?
If the process is found then no alert is sent. This also means that we will only have to blackout the database during cold backups instead of the whole server.
Hopefully this makes sense and hopefully someone can give me a few hints / tips on how to achieve this?
Thanks.

You can find info about the backups in sysman.mgmt$ha_backup. But only one entry per database can be seen. So only for the latest rman job you will find info here.
You could also start using a rman catalog that will contain all backup info (example http://oracleinstall.wordpress.com/2011/06/03/oracle-11g-rman-catalog-setup/). You can create reports/queries on the rman repository to get the info you need.
Or even better: create a rman repository and schedule the rman jobs using Grid/Cloud Control.

Create A New Monitoring Profile In Grid Control

Hi All,
We need to set up a monitoring user in grid control to monitor only a few limited metrics i.e FRA area filled , Shared Pool usage, Archiver hung,cpu usage & memory usage..
This account would be provided to a monitoring team to view only these metrics and of course wont have rights to modify anything in the database so only read only access...
I managed to create a read only account from Setup----Administrators---Create...
So doing the above i have created the read only user from the appropriate options, now my only question is that i do not want to give read only access for any other metrics apart from the ones i mentioned above..
Is it possible to set only the above five metrics.
Thanks...

Hi;
For your issue i suggest close your thread here as changing thread status to answered and move your issue to Forum Home » Enterprise Manager » Enterprise Manager Grid Control

Monitoring with Grid Control : Default thresholds

Hi,
I have installed Grid Control 10GR2, and have been struggling with the monitoring the health of Enterprise databases. Previously, any critical health problem seemed to have been reported promptly..
The default time interval in Grid Control is too long for certain health issues.. like
database up-down, tablespace full...
I just wanted to get idea from others, what have they done with the time intervals?
Any suggestions/experiences??
- Jayant

I've kept the defaults on most things, I have changed a few things, notably a metric on the agent itself. But all databases self manage their space anyway. tablespace full you can just change to 5 minutes or something if you are concerned about it.Just experiment, everybodys requirements are different.
And for the other chap to change a time interval on grid control 10.2:
Go to Targets-->All Targets
Click on the name of the target you want to change (be it host/database or agent etc)
Scroll down the page and click on 'Metric and Policy Settings'
There you will see the collection schedule for each metric, this a clickable link from where you can then edit.
Alternatively use a monitoring template and do it that way, especially if you got lots to change.
