Linux servers uptime monitoring

Hi,
Our Linux Team had a requirement that they get information alerts from SCOM about the servers uptime everyday.
I tried to create a Unix/Linux shell command monitor but these alerts are based on the threshold. For eg: I will get the alerts if the server uptime is below the specified value. But the requirement is that everyday one information alert shoots to our linux
team stating the server uptime information. If anyone has gone through this requirement, please share.

Daya Ram

Hi D.R
Have you tried creating a SCOM Agent task? Basically you can run the command and get the out put from the Linux server through SCOM console.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh563486.aspx
In SCOM console when you select Unix/Linux computers can you see something called Report Tasks that includes Availability report? If it is there that means you have reporting installed for SCOM. There are many reports you can use and customize for this purpose
(i.e Microsoft Genereic Report - Availability)
If you looking for uptime specifically I suggest you create an Agent task which can then be executed on the Linux servers.
Thanks,

Monitor certificates expiry in linux servers

Hi,
Can anyone let me know if we can monitor certificate expiry on Linux servers in SCOM 2012 R2
Thanks in Advance
Bharath

Bharath,
Not sure what certificates you are wanting to monitor on your Linux servers but if openssl can read them you can run something like this in a UNIX/Linux Shell Command Rule.
This will get the dates of the certificate the SCOM UNIX/Linux agent uses.
openssl x509 -noout -in /etc/opt/microsoft/scx/ssl/scx.pem -dates
notBefore=Sep 19 18:11:48 2013 GMT
notAfter=Sep 19 18:21:36 2024 GMT
From here you would need to parse out exactly what you need but should be easy to configure and trigger the rule if the date is expired. Of course if the date is expired on the SCOM agent this will not work as SCOM will fail to communicate with the
agent. :)

How to create a group of servers where monitor runs of one of them

Hello,
I have a group of Linux servers where I want to monitor some processes. Important is that the process have to run minimum 1 and maximum 1 time on server A or B or C. If I add my server group to the process monitor I got error events that the process is not
running on server A and C because B is actually the active one.
How can I configure that this process has to run 1 time on one of these servers?

Hi,
How about trying aggregate monitor?
Aggregate monitors group multiple monitors to provide a single health aggregated health state. This provides an organization to all of the monitors targeted at a particular class and provides a consolidated health state for specific categories of
operation.

Apache runs on many Unixes. Recently, it has been modified to run more
efficiently on NT. There is a version for the Macintosh, as well.
The number of Apache web servers on the net is probably greater than the number
of Linux web servers. Nevertheless, there are a lot of Linux servers out
there--not "very few".
FWIW, I think Forte should consider/do a Linux port. I don't think it would be a
big effort, and, at the very least, it would garner lots of PR. I know I'd love
to be able to use Linux for development rather than NT.

(actually, I think it was slightly higher) is the number that comes to mind
from my days with the AltaVista folks. Needless to say, as they crawl the
web, they just need to keep track (and they did).
I can see it being a reasonably high number, though. We did some statistics
and figured out that a 486/33 w/16 MB of main memory (yup! you read that
right!) could serve up over 100K pages per day. And, as sites go, that's
starting to get to the high end of medium. Now, you can't even buy hardware
like that anymore - you just have to find it laying around gathering dust.
If you go for a Pentium 133 or 166 - it's downright peppy - even when it's
doing a bunch of other stuff as well (mail, ftp, etc.). Plus, all admin can
be done remotely via telnet. Don't try that on NT. (Bill, eat your heart
out!! Yeah, like he listens to me!)
I don't know if the folks at AltaVista or Yahoo keep OS statistics on
servers (I know they do on browsers), but you might contact them, if you're
really curious.

Authentication Failure traps from node 0.0.0.0 on Linux Servers

We have installed ZFS server and agents on windows/Netware and Linux

On the Linux SUSE 9 Servers we installed the Management agent and Advnaced
trending Agent and set the snmp server IP and community name
but we are getting the above errors?
Where exactly is the setting to disable Authentication traps
we cannot locate ii in snmpd.conf.
Can we configure the above snmp parameters with YAST

Hi,
depending on VMware software this might be a problem of VMware. E.g. VMware Workstation only provides shared storage correctly in some version, not in most.
So getting to the root cause of this problem might be difficult.
Furthermore if this is a test environment, I recommend taking the latest software version (11.2). Oracle does not support 10.2.0.1 anymore, so not a good version anymore to learn/test on that.
There is a good guide with virtual box on 11gR2:

Are Linux servers also vullnerable to apsb 11-14?

Are Linux servers also vulnerable to apsb 11-14? Only Windows, Mac's, and UNIX systems are listed in the alert. We are running CF 9.0

We are running CF 9 on Linux. To remediate vulnerability (APSB11-14), we were given below link for fix:
http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-security-hotfix-apsb11-14.html
We followed the steps and finally when we started CF Admin, it was throwing error. It was looking for path in as in Windows like
'C:/{ColdFusionHome}/wwwroot ..........now the question is if the CFIDE or CF9 provided on this link also applicable for Linux too?If so, do we need to do any customization?
Moreover if you look at step 9 for this:
Go to {ColdFusion-Home}/wwwroot/WEB-INF directory and make a backup of WEB-INF folder.
above path is using wwwroot which I guess comes in Windows.
If somebody knows a separate link for APSB11-14 for Linux or can guide us if we are missing something on above link, please let me know.
Thanks

Failover using SLM2008 and 2 linux servers

I am wondering if LACP 802.3ad can work in this scenario where I have a single SLM2008 switch and 2 linux servers (not 2 nics in a single server)... is it possible to configure the switch to send packets to the alternate server if the primary one no longer responds?

lacp is a method to control the bundling of several physical ports together to form a single logical channel. it may act as failover when link fails between 2 devices but they should have multiple links. if there is only one link between the 2 devices then it will not act as failover. on your case, i believed that it is not possible. lacp works by sending frames down all the link that have protocol enabled. if lacp is enabled on both server, both server will receive the frames from the switch.

Linux/Unix Server Monitoring in Same Resource Pool as Windows Monitoring

Hi
We are planning to deploy OpsMgr 2012 R2 for our single site infrastructure. We wish to monitor Windows, Linux/Unix and Network Devices. I know that separate resource pools are recommended for monitoring Network devices but can we have a single resource
pool that can monitor Windows as well as Linux/Unix systems?
If same resource pool can be used for Windows as well as Linux/Unix systems, what are the limitations of doing this vs using separate resource pools for them.
Thanks
Taranjeet Singh
zamn

Hi Tranjeet, In answer to your questions:
1. Having separate resource pools (in case of Windows and Linux systems) and single Management Server in each resource pool
A: Dedicated specific management servers for specific servers to be monitored from. (ie isolation of environments like test dev prod)
2. Having single resource pool with multiple Management Servers managing Windows as well as Linux systems.

Weblogic 9.2 cluster install across 2 linux servers - authentication errors

Hello all,
                    I am currently trying to install a 9.2 cluster across two Linux machines, but am having a few problems that I was hoping someone here could help with. I?ve been reading the documentation, but feel as though it?s getting me nowhere.
                    I have two servers, on which I have installed weblogic portal 9.2. On the first I have then used the configuration wizard to great an admin server and cluster members 1, 2 and 3.
                    A cluster is created and the three cluster members are assigned to it.
                    Then I configure two unix machines, for the servers 1 and 2.
                    I assign the admin server and cluster member 1 to the first server. Cluster members 2 and 3 are assigned to the second server.
                    The connection pools and JMS stores I left as the default values.
                    The configuration completes and a domain is created on the first server.
                    I have copied the complete user_projects directory to the second server. I didn?t want to go through the configuration steps on each server that weblogic was to be installed on, so this looked like the easiest way to get the startManagedWeblogic scripts onto the second server. Also I didn?t find anything in the documentation that mentioned how to set up a cluster across multiple machines in any detail, only how to install multiple instances on a single server and run them as a cluster.
                    I manage to start the admin server ok and can connect through the web based admin console.
                    The first cluster member also starts up on the first server.
                    Now I go to the second server again, and when I try to start the cluster members here I get Authentication errors:
                    <Jan 31, 2007 2:56:22 PM CET> <Error> <Security> <BEA-090854> <SAMLCredentialMapper provider initialization failed: Could not retrieve credentials for AssertionSigningKey.>

Hello ,
          I can help you in this regard, (let me see).
          Let me start from the beginning.
          Assumptions:
          M1 is hosting 1-Admin server(AdminServer), 2-Managed Server(ms1,ms2),
          M2 is hosting 1 -managed server (ms3)
          1. Install WebLogic Server/Portal product on M1 and M2 say /home/user1/bea1 - on M1
          /home/user1/bea1 - on M2
          2. Create Cluster Domain using ConfigWiz/WLST.
               [ here I will talk abt Config Wiz)
               - Open config Wiz
          - Create domain in Production Mode.(ideally Cluster is not supported in Dev mode )
               - Create 1 Admin server, 3 Managed server Host = <M1> and config SSL port
                    AdminServer ? Host_M1
                    Ms1     ? Host_M1
                    Ms2     ? Host_M1
                    Ms3     ? Host_M2
          NOTE: *** Don't use IP addresses - use hostnames. The hostnames need to be specified in the correct format. When specifying a hostname, use the receiving server side's rules for SSL certificate hostname format when specifying the server address. The address that a client uses needs to match up with the server's SSL certificate host identity field ((example: pint21.bea.com on both server/client side, not just pint21 and other pint21.bea.com)
          Using the 'keytool' Java utility, verify the content of hostname identity embedded in the demo SSL certificate
          $ keytool -list -v -alias demoidentity -keystore DemoIdentity.jks
          Owner: CN=pisol18, OU=FOR TESTING ONLY, O=MyOrganization, L=MyTown, ST=MyState, C=US
          -     Config Data Source (conn pool) to Any DB Type you like, test them and run the DB scripts if applicable (Run DB).
          3. Create Managed Server template Using Pack/Unpack tool
          3.1     Using <WL_HOME>\common\bin\pack.cmd with ?managed option create managed server template.
          3.2     Using <WL_HOME>\common\bin\unpack.cmd on M2 to create the domain on Host2
          4. Starting the Admin Server
          5. Start the Managed server in many way. As given on edocs.
          http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs92/ConsoleHelp/taskhelp/clusters/StartOrStopAServer.html
          I hope this helps you,
          Thanks

Load Balancing Linux servers with CSS 11050 series

We would like to load balance Linux FTP and Web servers with a CSS 11050 series device. Does the content switch use SNMP to load balance the servers? If so, which MIBs need to be loaded on the servers?

I dont believe that the CSS supports any SNMP load balancing mechanism.
There is basically two factors involved in load balancing. One: the state of the servers which can be done via a range of mechanisms including ping, TCP connection, Application request, etc. Two: the way a server is chosen when a request comes in including round-robin, least connections, ACA etc.

CAM switch between uttsc, Unix, Linux servers?

Suppose you had some of each:
Windows Terminal servers
Solaris Sun Ray servers
Linux Sun Ray servers
...and wanted to present a choice to users at the dtu startup screen, before login (e.g., with CAM), as to which system they wanted to connect to initially. Is it possible?
I'm in a university environment and want to give easy access to each of those operating environments without the Windows user having to know how to navigate a Unix/Linux environment, even briefly, and vice-versa.
For our purposes this sort of simple universal terminal configuration would be ideal.
Thanks for any ideas, hints, etc.

Hi ErikEJ.
I made a design decision several years ago to avoid using SQL Server Express for this project because it requires either a network connection or local instance of SQL Server to be running on a desktop platform which in many cases is resource-constrained.
SQL Server Compact was perfect for this application because the database engine could be entirely contained within the application without client/server overhead.
Thanks for the ODBC under Linux suggestion, but I presume that this also would require client/server connection to an ASP server instance somewhere.
I think it would be simpler to just use an ASP host environment directly where SQL Server Compact, SQL Server, .net, and all the custom utilities I have developed for this application could be hosted with hopefully minimal modification.
Thanks for your input.

Routing issue between two Linux servers

Hello, I have a fedora box with IP Masquerading setup. I used the instructions on tldp.org (http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/firewall-examples.html) to set it up. The problem is that I can't ssh from my firewall box to any internal linux box. my firewall is configured eth0 as internal and eth1 as external and just using basic iptables ruleset from the tutorial. When I try to ssh to my internal box 192.168.0.x from the external box I get " ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.x port 22: No route to host". I can ping the ip fine. My routing table looks like this:
[root@oracle rc.d]# ip route show
192.168.0.11 via 192.168.0.1 dev eth0
192.168.0.0/24 via 192.168.0.1 dev eth0

what's wrong with my routing table? Please help.
BTW: the natting works fine, I can ssh to the firewall box on both interface fine. just can't ssh/telnet from the firewall to anywhere else.
Thanks.

Database uptime monitoring by either snmp or active monitor script anyone?

Hi,
Has anyone previously setup any type of active monitoring script through whats up gold or an snmp informant type of monitoring script to advise when a database is down or specific process is down?
An example would be like ORACLE_PKG1, and the process is named ora_smon_hrprd88.
This is what the HP-UX “ps” shows:
tpadb01:/# ps -ef | grep -i ora_smon
oracle 13207 1 0 Jan 1 ? 0:29 ora_smon_epprd88
oracle 13281 1 0 Jan 1 ? 1:31 ora_smon_hrprd88
oracle 13635 1 0 Jan 1 ? 1:03 ora_smon_fsprd84
oracle 3620 1 0 Jan 2 ? 0:18 ora_smon_mtprd04
oracle 14586 1 0 Jan 1 ? 0:23 ora_smon_mtprd05
oracle 15223 1 0 Jan 1 ? 0:26 ora_smon_inprd88
oracle 15879 1 0 Jan 1 ? 0:25 ora_smon_epsal88
oracle 16769 1 0 Jan 1 ? 0:52 ora_smon_hrsal88
root 17976 22609 0 10:46:39 ttyp2 0:00 grep -i ora_smon
tpadb01:/#
Not sure if the extra info helps, but you never know. We can set it up to send us database up alerts, but the problem I have is when the listener service is down I can't get my script to finish no matter how I change the values of my script around. I can provide my script if that would help as well. If someone has already done this and is willing to share great!
Harvey

I would suggest you install OEM Grid Control to monitor your databases. For basic monitoring function it's free. OEM GC works great, it's a little overweight though. It's also use SNMP.
Or you can choose any third party tool like
Monitoring Oracle Enterprise with Cricket
http://www.mikehan.com/cricket/oracle.html
or some commercial one like Quest Software.

How to disbale passwd for FTP between linux servers

Hai,
reguraly we need to copy file system of one server to another server ( linux). when i was given scp or rsync commnds it prompts for passwd of target server.
how to disbale this permenanlt?
how to configure FTP in linux server?

Hi,
If what you need is copying files between systems and all have sshd, you can use scp and it won't ask for a password if keys generated in machine1 from the user that will make the connection are trasfered to machine2.
You can try following this tutorial Link: [http://enrique.barbeito.org/blog/ssh-sin-contrasena/] It's in spanish but I think it's easy to follow; it's the one i followed to avoid password between some of my systems.
