Simultaneous critical thresholds - diskspace

Hi All,
I'm trying to setup a logical disk space monitor that will alert for multiple critical thresholds on a single logical drive.
I would like to have for example, 15GB - warning, 10GB error, 5GB error.
Our servicedesk has a dashboard which shows "error" alerts for diskspace, when they see this, they contact on-call support. At times our on-call support can be slow to react, so we want another "error" alert to appear on the servicedesk
dashboard when the threshold reaches 5gb, and that would prompt them to again contact the on-call support.
I do not want the 15gb warning to appear on the servicedesk dashboard.
My question is.... is it possible to have a second "error" threshold for a logical diskspace monitor at 5GB, when the 10GB alert is still open?
If so, can you please provide some detail?
Regards,

Hi!
You could achieve that by using the logical disk monitor that is enabled by default (the one that is checking for MB and % thresholds) for the first thresholds and additionally enable the other one for MB (or %) for the second ones:
Windows Server 20xx Logical Disk
Logical Disk Free Space
Windows Server 20xx Logical Disk
Disk Free Space (MB) Low
Windows Server 20xx Logical Disk
Disk Free Space (%) Low
More information about these monitors:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd262028.asp
Or, of course, create your own monitors.

Patrick

It means what it says. Your agents are no longer providing information to the oms, so info for any metrics you have set is no longer being collected.
Check the agent logs. An example as to why this could happen is the agent has run out of space and it disables collections to save blowing the file system

Critical threshold

Hello *!
I use Oracle 9i and i got error message: Disk load current value: 33.91%, exceeds configured threshold: 30.00%.
I suppose i have to delete some logs or something, but i am not sure what and where. Can you help me with some suggestions? Thank you in advance...

Hello Reza.
I am not sure if it is an oracle error, i just assume it, because there is something about threshold. I got it form HPOV agents installed on the system. Since i am not sure about the origine of the error i am looking everywhere around, trying to detect the couse of that.

Need Advise on Setting Critical Metric Threshold for "Status"

Hi All,
I am trying top copy all metric thresholds from OEM 9i to 10G. I ran across the metric threshold for "Status" (whether the node is up or down). It is set to "Down" and, although I'd like to set it to "Up/Down", when I hit Continue it comes back with
"The format of the critical threshold is not correct.". Does anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks
Sam

you are status metrics for all targets in grid control
the notification rules for databases,hosts,listener,aplication server are enabled the send mail if the status change.

How to set collection schedule for metric thresholds

Greetings All,
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
Windows Server 2008 R2Please know that I am a newbie when in regards Enterprise Manager (any version).
I am trying to use EM-Database Control version that was installed when I installed Oracle.
I am trying to activate e-mail notification when tablespace(s) usage exceeds set thresholds. Specifically the locally managed tablespaces.
I found the Metric Thresholds page, and I found the “Tablespace Space Used (%)” metric. Note this is NOT the “(dictionary managed)” metric.
I do have e-mail and credential information established.
I found where you can identify a SQL script to be executed for corrective actions for the warning and critical thresholds. However I don’t want to execute any corrective action, I am just interested in the e-mail notification.
I know I could setup a SQL script that would send an e-mail but from my reading/research I believe that e-mail notification should automatically take place so long as e-mail and credential information has been established, which has been established.
My question is:
I can find now way to set a Collection Schedule. The dictionary managed tablespace metric has a collection schedule link (i.e. Every 15 Minutes), but the non-dictionary managed tablespace metric(s) has none.
Clicking the edit icon(s) provides no way of setting the collection schedule.
Where/how do I establish a Collection Schedule for this metric?
Thanks for your time,
Bob

Hi Bob,
With Grid/Cloud Control you can modify the collection frequency (interval) for the Tablespace Space Used (%) metric for locally managed tablespaces; however, you cannot do the same in DB control.
That being said, alerts from the metric are server-generated alerts, which are generated from the monitored database target. When the space used percentage exceeds the Warning or Critical threshold, assuming you have subscribed to an appropriate notification rule for email notification, you should receive an email notification in about 1 minute or so.
The following doc may help explain more about server -generated alerts:

SUN Fire V65 - System Status LED - non-critical condition

Hi guys
We have a Checkpoint Cluster which is made up of 2 Sun Fire V65 servers.
The front panel of the servers are showing the System Status LED lights as Blinking Amber , which sun documenation has listed as
"Blinking amber: Indicates the system is in a non-critical condition" ref: http://dlc.sun.com/pdf/817-2024-12/817-2024-12.pdf
We have resetead the hardware, cleared ,logs, even change HW etc. The light goes away for some time and then returns.
Can anyone advise on what to do?
Sun has the following listed in their Troubleshooting pdf i ref before
"Non-Critical Condition
A non-critical condition is indicated with a blinking amber status LED and signifies
that at least one of the following conditions is present:
¡ Temperature, voltage, or fan non-critical threshold crossing.
¡ Chassis intrusion.
¡ Satellite controller sends a non-critical state, via the Set Fault Indication
command, to the BMC.
¡ A Set Fault Indication command from the system BIOS. The BIOS may use the Set
Fault Indication command to indicate additional, non-critical status such as
system memory or CPU configuration changes"
Is there any Unix / Linux / SPLAT logs I can look at or debugging we can look at.
Thanks in advance

Your initial description mentions that you have swapped various pieces of hardware around. I presume that means you used current parts instead of new-never-used components. Are both of the clustered systems showing the same symptoms?
I can only think of a couple of additional things to try.
Firstly, those are old boxes. V65's went EOL in January 2005, so yours are at least that old if not older. They are x86 architecture. Have you replaced the CR2032 CMOS battery that's on the systemboard? Have you additionally checked for voltage fluctuations in the data center? A marginal power supply can "mostly work" but it can be effected by an AC mains issue.
If that doesn't change anything, then you may need to contact Checkpoint. They may be able to point you toward some sort of heartbeat function that is tripping a fault level when it flip-flops between the two systems.
That's a software investigation and would be outside the scope of this forum.

Metric threshold Blocking session count

Hi,
I am trying to modify the blocking session count threshould and making warning threshold as null and critical threshold > 0. When i create a blocking session in the database i get the warning for application wait class but i don't get a critical alert generated even waiting for more than an hour. Here is what i have done so far
1. changed the warning threshold to null, critical threshold to > 0 and changed the time of collection to each 5 minutes.
2. Creating a blocking lock in the database, when i go on the performance page of db and look at the instance locks i can see the lock being held for more than 30 minutes
Any ideas how can i get this going will be much appreciated.

In order to trigger the metric "blocking session count", you have to
a. have one session which is holding the lock (not comitting)
b. at least one session which is waiting for exactly that lock. in that case, the metric will report sid of blocking session with a value of > 0.

Tablespace Threshold

Hi
I want to create a threshold on the tablespace when it is 80 % Used.
I want a mail to be sent on my email address and also when user inserts data in that TBS he should receive the Alert.
Please Advise

Use Oracle Enterprise manager database control, go to preferences and assign a email server. Then on the home page-->manage metrics link-->Edit Threshod button-->set your metric warning/critical thresholds here and wait for notifications in email box when the threshod is reached.

Backend query to find metrics with thresholds

Hi,
Is there a way to query the backend tables in repository database to find the metrics with thresholds on a database.I want to findout the missing warning/critical thresholds for all the targets.Any inputs for this may be helpful to me.
Thanks.

You might want to create a User Deinfed Metric that does a query on the SYSMAN schema to find out.

EM 10g Release 3 Grid - how to set up thresholds/notifications

Hello --
We have installed EM 10g Release Grid control and I would like to set up all the necessary thresholds and notifications. I would like to set those up for one instance only. So I went to Preferences --> Notification Rules and set up (what I thought) notifications for this one database. However, I keep getting alerts for ALL databases. Is there a way to set this up just for one?
Also, on the home page in the Related Links section I see the following links related to metrics:
Metric Collection Errors
All Metrics
Metric and Policy Settings
Metric Baselines
User-defined metrics
What are Metric Baselines? How do set those up? Are these also "global" - if I modify those it will affect all of the databases? Is there a quide (like a miniumum) on thresholds - how do you decide on the values? Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

Yes it is easy to be confused. Maybe this will help -
1) Notification Rules are set to provide you notification when a metric and policy setting is in warning, critical or clear status - (side note here is that clear is clear for warning and clear for critical- so if you set notification to page on clear you can get warning clear and critical clear pages)
2) Metric and Policy Settings establish warning and critical thresholds - you dont have to have notifications on them.
3) Baselines can be taken on the live database to establish normal operating thresholds. I am a little weak in the Baseline Space.

SUNMC ALARMS THRESHOLDS MEANING

Hi friend,
I am able to see thresholds like below..
Will any one kindly explain this ?
What does they mean actually ?
Unknown, Lost commands and No contact status values ---- Critical Threshold for FANSTATUS
Regards
Srinivas Masetty

Does anyone have a list of SunMCs default thresholds,
or know how I can find them without drilling down
into each module?If you don't mind looking at some strangely formatted text files, the standard thresholds can be found in /opt/SUNWsymon/modules/cfg/*-d.def files.
In the Console, if a module is loaded, you don't have to open an Attribute Editor for every value... instead you can go to the "Module Manager" tab, click the module, then the "Rules" button, and see all thresholds set (including any you set yourself).
That will show most of the defaults. But for some alarms (especially hardware alarms) their thresholds are more complex (and/or hidden) in "rules". I can't get to docs.sun.com right now to give you a link, but a search of the SunMC docs will list the names of the rules and what they do. The Health Monitor module uses many rules and is a good place to start your search.
Is there a single doc listing all attribues and thresholds? Not that I've ever seen. But someone may prove me wrong! :)

Threshold alerts not functioning

Hi,
My threshold alerts are not working at all. Warning and Critical thresholds are ignored. My first reaction was to check the statistics_level to make sure it was on typical, and it was. I also it set it to 'all' to test, but no difference.
Any ideas?

thanks for your reply.
I am on 10g. I had not been recieving any alerts and saw that my SYSTEM and SYSAUX were at 97%, so I created a tablespace, set the threshold warning at 50% and critical at 75%, then filled the tablespace up. I kept checking back to the EM home page and refreshing for about an hour as I did know that it refreshes alerts every 10 mins, and no alerts. Further, under SPACE SUMMARY on the EM home page at "problem tablespaces" there is a 0.
I checked the dba_thresholds and it shows the values I had entered, along with the other ones in the db. I also checked the statistics_level which is now set to ALL.
?
