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.

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.

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 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

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.

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.

Disabling all the monitors and rules in MP

Hi,
I am looking for the exact approach on disabling all the items in the monitoring pack and enabling it on demand type approach.
To do so, I am looking for the effective approach. what all the items which should be disabled from the MP Discovery, so that all monitoring contents in the MP is disabled.
Like example: I want to disable all the Monitoring items in Active Directory so that AD roles is not discovered by SCOM.
Thanks!

Managing Monitoring Templates Based on Target Properties (not Administration Groups)

I understand how to create administration groups, based on a hierarchy of target properties. In addition, I've assigned monitoring templates to these various groups with limited success.
But I would like to be able to setup different monitoring templates, metric values, compliance configuration, etc based on the target properties themselves and not just the hierarchy.
For example, lets say I have a hierarchy of administration groups starting with "Cost Center" at the top and "Location" as the next level. Now, I want to set up some compliance rules based on Operating Systems and want to do this across all my systems, regardless of administration group. (ie all Solaris 10 machines setup one way, Solaris 11 machines another).
Can I do this?

does your RCDC info look something like the following?
<my:Control
my:Name="GroupMemberOfSG"
my:TypeName="UocListView"
my:ExpandArea="true"
my:Caption="Security Groups"
my:RightsLevel="{Binding Source=rights,
Path=isAdminAccount}">
<my:Properties>
<my:Property
my:Name="ColumnsToDisplay"
my:Value="DisplayName,Email,Domain,DisplayedOwner"
/>
<my:Property
my:Name="EmptyResultText"
my:Value="There are no groups according to the filter definition." />
<my:Property
my:Name="PageSize"
my:Value="20" />
<my:Property

DW CS3: Template & CSS Rules problems

Dreamweaver CS3 Templates and CSS Rules.
I've built a basic html page with a header, navigation links and main content area, then saved this as a template with the content area as the edit region.
When I create new html pages from this template I want to insert Divs in the edit region for each new page, which I can successfully do, but for some reason Dreamweaver is not allowing me to create new CSS Rules for each new Div? So I'm not able to control position, text layout, colours etc for the new content. So my question is how do I do this?
I got around this with the current website by creating the template with virtually all of the content for the entire website firstly, then deleting as necessary for each page, which I know is the wrong way to build html site pages from a template!
I wonder if someone could please point me in the right direction to get me back on track? Any pointers would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, there is a meta tag at the start of the CSS rules. Here's a copy and paste of the code generated in DW CS3. Template was created from a html doc...

Monitor event id rule vs monitor

Hi!
Should I use a unit monitor or a rule to monitor event ID?
I know I can do it with both, but what is best practice?

The question is more related with the scenario or monitoring solution.
If you are monitoring for specific events that can then become good a monitor would be the ideal choice but if you want to know when an event is triggered then using a rule would be fit for purpose.
There is also nothing stopping you for using both. So its really a question about how do you manage your alerts? Do you come in the morning and review them (rules would be better) or do you get called out during the night (monitor would be better as issues
can sometimes resolve on their own)?
With your specific question for monitoring an event ID, does the event have another event that is generated when the issue is resolved? if so then I would setup a Monitor if not then a rule.
Cheers,
Martin

Cannot see CCMS Monitor Templates - System is not configured

I just finished installing SAP Netweaver Trial, and I have been able to login using the SAP* and DDIC accounts.
I can see the standard tree via the SAP client GUI.
I am trying to take a look at the CCMS Monitor Sets, and I can see the standard collection of "Entire System", "Performance Overview", etc. all fine.
However, when I double-click to load any of the monitors, I see nothing inside.
No sub-trees, nothing.
I enabled "Display error nodes" and see a node that says
"NSP : System is not configured"
I have tried creating my own user, adding in profiles like SAP_ALL, S_A.System, etc.
I also notice everytime I access the CCMS Monitor Templates, there is an entry in the Syslog:
Severity: Warning
Process Type: D0
Transaction Code: RZ20
Client: 001
User: DDIC
Message ID: BYE
Description:
Database: Invalid parameter ObjTooLar transferred to database interface
Please let me know if I am missing any components, or if there is something I need to do.
Thank you.

Thanks Sunny.
That thread did indeed helped me to resolve the issue.
However, the thread did not really provide clear instructions to complete newbies like me.
For those who also have the same issue, this is what I did:
1. Execute RZ10 (Edit Profiles) via the SAP client GUI
2. Click on the menu Utilities - Import profiles - Of active servers
3. Edit the "Instance Profile" NSP_DVEBMGS00_{Your Computer Name}
Select Extended Maintenance, and select Change
4. Change the following two parameters:
alert/MONI_SEGM_SIZE from 0 to 60000000
rdisp/autoabaptime from 0 to 300
5. In the SAP MMC, right-click on NSP and select Restart
6. After restarting, login and you should be able to see the CCMS Monitor Template nodes
