Monitoring templates and notification rules

Hello
I was able to create monitoring templates defining the thresholds I needed and create de notifications rules.
Now where can I see them being used ? How can I see the results of a template? Where do the notifications rules publish the information?
Thanks
Gonçalo Ribeiro

Hello,
I want to apply the template to a db instance and I would like to see that information on the db instance home page on the Category alerts.
Can't I do that? The templates only work if I define a notification method?
Thanks

Diff btwn Monitoring Template and Notification Rules

Can anyone tell me the difference btwn when I should use a Monitoring Template and when I should use Notification Rules? I understand that there is a calendar setup for Notification Rules, but other than that, when should I use which? They look like they do the same thing.

With Monitoring templates, you set them once and apply them to multiple targets across your entire enterprise. So it gvies you a faclity to standardise stuff. For instance, you can create one template each for different database environments (e.g Development, Testing and Production). So each time you discover a new databases, instead of going in to database t manually define new metrics for the lot, you simply apply your already created template to them. Another example advantage is that each time your team decides that all production database tablespaces should change from a Critical of 90% to 85%, you simply change the template and reapply instead of doing it one-by-one on each database.
With Notification Rules, you are choosing the targets and the conditions with which you want to receive notifications. For instance, you have set all your Critical and Warning thresholds for say % Tablespace Space Used. When this threshold is reached, you want to be notified using the notification method you have set. Say via email or sms. So you create a notification rule that includes this metric, specify the notification method and indicate which administrators receive that notification.

UDM template and Notification Rules

Hi,
As i am first time working with EM grid control have few question upon organizing some things for better feasibility. I am familiar with the creation of a UDM template and creating notification rules. But I am lacking in proper organization of these thing. I have been provided the events (customized) categorized say security, performance, etc. So i have created a UDM for these events separately for testing. So to create template, how shall i proceed, is there any standard process or anything that would be helpful in all means.
I was having different ways, like as i already created UDM's
(1) create template for each event (UDM and out-of-box),
(2) create template for events by category (UDM and out-of-box) ,
(3) Create one standard template for all the UDM's and out-of-box events ,
(4) Create templates based on OS UDM , SQl UDM and outof box metric events.
(5) Create templates based on Host and database events.
these are of few different way in which i am having in my mind. But not sure of feasibility solution.
Also if am not wrong templates are only for applying to targets and they are not related w.r.t notification. So w.r.t notification I would like to know is that it would be better to categorize them with in default rules or make separate rules.
Sorry for such series of question.
Thanks.

Thanks Rob. I came across one more thing while i am working with metrics. I see the metrics and policy settings pages differs w.r.t database version's,
Say for example, with in 11g database metrics and policy settings i see following metrics,
(1) Access Violation and (2) Access Violation Status, but i dont see these in 10g version database metrics and policy settings page. In 10g i see Following metrics
(3) Active Sessions Waiting: I/O and (4) Active Sessions Waiting: Other which i see in 11g version database metrics and policy settings page but can't see on 9i
version database metrics and policy settings page.
So under such circumstances if i create a template w.r.t target type say database, that would have only the selected version while creating the database. Is that like do we need to create template for each database instance ?
As i see we have an option of including the metrics present in another database version too, but if we add those into one what would be result as few metrics one instance is not aware of and also i see one situation where in one of the metrics to check for the database instance status differs from 9i and 10G ( i mean the naming conventions) In this case if i add both , we are going to get an alert twice as i presume. How to handle such situations while creating a standard template.
Please advise if this need to be created w.r.t target type how to create it. Is that we can create w.r.t each version of database instanc target type too.
Thanks.

Monitoring Templates Versus Notifications

please correct me if I am wrong, when we set up Notifications, OEM with use the default metrics to send email if errors/warnings occur. what if, I have monitoring templates set up with our own metric, how does this monitoring templates work together with notifications? I guess, my question is how can I assign the monitoring Templates so I can get email based from the metric I assigned.
I am a little confused about how these two worked, if something can give my some insight, I would greatly appreciated.

I generally see monitoring templates and notifications as two separate entities. First evaluate if some of your metrics are better managed as a UDP, user defined policy, than metric. I have templates for production, non-production, hpux, linux, aix, etc. I then apply that template to the corresponding policy for updates or changes in standards. I then would go to preferences and notifications/rules and create a notification rule. I generally create one notification rule per user based on that user's group of clients. That way when someone is out another DBA can cover by simply adding that target to their group.
Hope that answered your question or wasn't too much info. Let me know if you have anything further.
Cheers,

Template vs notification rules

Hello
couple of questions about grid 11g
1 what happens when you apply a template to target ? does it overwrite exisitng out of box notification?
2 are there any dependencies between monitroing template/ notificaiton rules? can i create rule to send out notificaiton for a codition(metric) that is not in the template?
thanks

1. Applying a template changes the thresholds and drives when the system raise a critical or warning alert. The notification rules are independent of templates and drive what action we take when a critical or warning alert comes in. I am not quite sure what you mean by "overwrite existing out of box notifications" - but in general, templates and notification rules are related but independent as described above.
2. See above. You can always create a rule to send notifications for alerts on any metric. If the alert triggers - it will do what's requested.
Of course, you need to set thresholds appropriately on the target to raise a warning or critical alert - either by directly changing thresholds or using a template.
Hope that helps.when I create notification I see all metrics even those which I haven't configured, why oracle displays those and doesn't hide them? a little bit curious because its misleading

Monitoring template and alert noifications, how ?

I have set up database monitoring template with some metric tresholds for warning/alerting. Also, I applied this to the databases. Now, my question is how will i be notified (say via e-mail) once an alert has generated ? I see notification methods and notification rules, where it has its own metric settings. Do i have to apply notification rules to these databases for notifications. If so, what is the use of monitoring template ? Can i set up notifications via e-mail within the monitoring template ?
thanks,

In EM12c, go to the 'Enterprise' menu, then 'Job', then 'Library'. There should be an out-of-the-box job called "DISABLE TABLESPACE USED (%) ALERTS FOR UNDO AND TEMP TABLESPACES" that you can run against your database targets, and that job will disable database-generated alerts.
If a previous admin has set up EM12c-generated alerts for undo and temp, then yes, a monitoring template will take care of disabling them. Either remove those alerts from the existing monitoring template and apply them to your targets, or create a new monitoring template based on one database's current settings, remove those warning/critical thresholds for your undo and temp tablespaces, and apply it to your targets.

Monitoring Templates and Rules

Can someone clarify the differences or usage of Monitoring Templates versus Rules.
I believe Monotoring Templates are generated by copying the Metrics and Policies of a single specific targets, adnn then applying that template to other similiar targets.
But how do the Public or My Rules affect or work with Templates.

User Defined Metric and Notification rules

I've created a user defined metric to list the age of my backups. My warning is set to 24 hours and my critical threshold is set to 48 hours. The metric is working fine.
I want to be alerted if the metric goes critical for e.g.. When I go to Notification rules, under metric i don't see my user defined metric. This is GC 10g R2 10.2.0.2.
Anyone has seen this?
Thanks.

You have to create notification template according to your requirements and define respective metrice with required threshold values.

Azure Monitoring Alerts and Notifications email

When we receive an alert from Azure monitoring it comes from the email address "[email protected]". The domain mail.windowsazure.com is not valid and our mail firewall blocks these messages due to this. Does anyone know if
it is possible to customize the "From" address for these monitoring notices? Perhaps Microsoft Azure guys will create a valid domain for this.......?

hi Jason,
Thanks for your posting!
For this issue, it seems that changing the setting of mail server is related to Exchange Server or office outlook issue.
I am not sure which type of mail server you used, but if you use Exchange server, you can Customize junk e-mail protection. Please see this page:

How to exclude UNDO and temp tablespace using monitoring template

hi,
as per MOS note id 816920.1 undo and temp tablespace is excluded from monitoring starting version 11G onwards.It says that thresholds will need to be explicitly set if undo and temp needs to be monitored
we have grid 12C implemented now with monitoring templates which sets thresholds for all tablespaces. does it apply that thresholds to undo and temp too?? we are receiving alerts for undo and temp tablespaces and we wish to disable them. We have undo tablespaces with different names in many databases as per naming conventions for that line of business.
How can i exclude undo and temp tablespaces from monitoring using grid 12C monitoring templates. is there a way through templates where i can set thresholds of permanent tablespaces only???

In EM12c, go to the 'Enterprise' menu, then 'Job', then 'Library'. There should be an out-of-the-box job called "DISABLE TABLESPACE USED (%) ALERTS FOR UNDO AND TEMP TABLESPACES" that you can run against your database targets, and that job will disable database-generated alerts.
If a previous admin has set up EM12c-generated alerts for undo and temp, then yes, a monitoring template will take care of disabling them. Either remove those alerts from the existing monitoring template and apply them to your targets, or create a new monitoring template based on one database's current settings, remove those warning/critical thresholds for your undo and temp tablespaces, and apply it to your targets.

Why cant we see all metrics as part of notification rules

I am trying to set up notification rules..
I created monitoring templates and setup some metrics..
I am able to see these metrics as part of All Metrics
but when i go to add them via Notification Rule to alert to my email
I dont see these metrics
Please let me know, if i am missing any steps..
Thanks
Satish

There are some metrics, which are reported in "all Metrics" but can not have thresholds defined in "metric and policy settings".
You can only add those metrics to the notification rule, which can have thresholds set. In my environment there are 235 database metrics, which can be added to the notification rule.
Which metric in particular would you want to include in the notification rule?
Best regards,
Martin

Setup Customer Templates and Alerting

We are currently have over 75 Oracle 10.2.0.4 test servers, with agents installed and reporting back to our OMS repository. We have been asked to start monitoring tablespace thresholds so that we don't run into outspace issues. What I have done is create a custom monitoring template and pushed it via the agents to the db servers. What I would like to do is remove all the standard oracle alerting, and only have the monitoring template and have it email or page our oncall when needed.
Jim

hi,
Maybe a better approach would have been to look at one of the standard grid control jobs, database availability and critical states. create your own rule as a copy of this, remove all the metrics you do not want. Edit the rule as the SYSTEM or SYSMAN user of grid control. Then make the rule public and then when you log in as a none SYSTEM/SYSMAN user just subscribe youreself to that rule to recive email alerts. This way you keep all the standard rule in tact.
regards
Alan

Monitoring template for hosts and listeners

I've created a monitoring template through "setup -> monitoring template -> create". Under the "policies" tab I am unable to locate some policies for hosts and listeners such as "Listener.ora Permission" and "Open Ports". However, I can see (under policy rules library) that those policies are applied to all targets by default. How do I add those policies into my monitor template?
I am using 10.2.0.4 OEM grid control repository and agents on Sun Solaris 10.
Thx.

Hi Rajiv Dewan
Your link was helpful iam able to connect the the notification template.
Now iam able to get the Template name,Subject,ID,Locale etc.
I have one small question how to get the message from the template using this api,
I referred the NotificationEvent,NotificationTemplate api's still iam not able to get message from my template and set message in my template.
Is there any other API's i need to explore to get message from notification template.

Notification Rules and Alerting

I created 5 rules from the section "Notification Rules" using same user ID.
Is it possible to alert different email groups for each notification rule from the same ID. We select "send e-mail" option from the Notification Rules section, we will be recieving alerts for the e-mail ID that was configured in the General Section under --> Preferences. How do we configure the rules to notify different group's using the same ID.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Loc,
Can you please help me in finding the "Add Actions page (2nd step in The Edit rule set process)" I cannot find that option when I select the rule and say EDIT --> Actions page --> "E-mail notification, Advanced notofocation Methods and Clear Alert(These are only the options available in Actions page)".
Sorry for asking the basic stuff... FYI - I am actually using OEM 11.1.0.1
