Swap Utilization is 100% - cant clear alert

We have had the Swap Utilization is 100%, crossed warning (35) or critical ( ) threshold hanging around for a month now and I cant clear it.
The server has been rebooted and there is no swapping.
I found this http://www.ora-solutions.net/web/2010/11/12/grid-control-11g-agent-metric-swap-utilization-on-hp-ux-with-pseudo-swap/
but its not for our platform nor our Grid Agent version!
Any ideas please?
Linux RHEL 5
Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Release 5 Grid Control 10.2.0.5.0

If you find that Metric via the host that it is configured on, just clear the fields that are there for that metric.
Then when you can see those alerts cleared, re-enter the values and carry on regardless.

EM alert Message : Swap Utilization is 100%

Hi,
on 10G R2, EM sends us the following alert :
Message=Swap Utilization is 100%And in details when I look, it says : examine the applications that do not belong to this instance.
I wonder if SGA and PGA are well tunned ?

according to mrtalink note 373602.1 we should be in automatic SGA to avoid ORA-04030 , and we are then why ORA-04030 ?

Swap utilization is 100 %

Hi All,
In my production system swap utilization is 100% that is causing performance issues, when we execute top & Glance command , couldn't find workprocess which are using more memoery here i could see only 2 process are using 2 gb memory, actually we have 32GB memoery. also we have checked in sm04, ther also no workprocess is using much memory. In St02 detailed analysis also utilizing memory is 3gb. i could see occupied physical memoery in ST06. there only 1GB free meomery.
Could you please some one help me how we can find where this physicall memory is utilizing.

What's your current physical memory size?
Just set all memory related parameters according to your physical memory and re-check.
Increase your physical memory if required (contact SAP for fine tuning)

Oracle Coherence increasing Swap Utilization

We are using Oracle Coherence on linux servers. However, we noticed that because of Coherence processes running, often our swap utilization % increases too much, sometimes becoming more than 98%, even touched 100% a few times.
Once we kill all the coherence related processes, then it becomes normal.
Is there any way we can make coherence processes to only use a particular size of Swap space ?
Currently increasing swap space is not in our scope.
Please suggest.

Hi,
We are using Oracle Coherence on linux servers. However, we noticed that because of Coherence processes running, often our swap utilization % increases too much, sometimes becoming more than 98%, even touched 100% a few times.
Swapping itself (1%-100%) is not a good sign and should be avoided by ensure that you have sufficient memory such that you are not making active use of swap space on your machines. The active usage of SWAP space will have significant performance degradation.
Is there any way we can make coherence processes to only use a particular size of Swap space ?Manage your memory by allocating heap using -Xmx for Coherence JVMs. You need to ensure that the sufficient RAM memory is available on the server for Coherence JVMs and other operating system processes and do not consume all the RAM.
To temporarily set the swappiness, as the root user echo a value onto /proc/sys/vm/swappiness. The following command will set swappniess to 0:
echo 0 >/proc/sys/vm/swappiness //To set the value permanently, modify the /etc/sysctl.conf file.
Hope this helps!

How to clear alert when a null value is returned for a metric column?

Hey all,
Recently, I've encountered a problem about clearing alert when a null value is returned for a metric column. From Oracle official doc, it seems that NO_CLEAR_ON_NULL could be used for this propose. However, it doesn't.
Here is the line from doc, you can see when NO_CLEAR_ON_NULL is set as FALSE, the null value will clear alert, and the default value for NO_CLEAR_ON_NULL is FALSE.
NO_CLEAR_ON_NULL: This attribute is used to control severity clearing when a null value is returned for a metric column. It defaults to FALSE with the behavior that a null value ends up clearing previous alert severities. With a TRUE value for this attribute, null values will be skipped in severity evaluations without clearing the severity.
TRUE | FALSE (default)
STATELESS_ALERTS: This attribute if set to TRUE indicates to EM that alerts on this
column will not have corresponding clears. This allows the UI to decide whether to
allow users to manually clear alerts on this column.
TRUE | FALSE (default)Here is my code for the metric,
-- meta definition
<Metric NAME="Flushing_Table_Overtime" TYPE="TABLE" HELP="NO_HELP">
    <Display>
      <Label NLSID="mmd_ip">Flushing Table Overtime</Label>

    <TableDescriptor>
      <ColumnDescriptor NAME="State" TYPE="STRING" IS_KEY="FALSE">

      </ColumnDescriptor>
      <ColumnDescriptor NAME="Time_Seconds" TYPE="NUMBER" IS_KEY="FALSE">

        <Column NAME="Time_Seconds" />
        <Filter COLUMN_NAME="State" OPERATOR="EQ">Flushing tables</Filter>
      </GetView>
    </ExecutionDescriptor>
</Metric>
-- coll definition
<CollectionItem NAME="Flushing_Table_Overtime">
    <Schedule>
      <IntervalSchedule INTERVAL="10" TIME_UNIT="Min" />
    </Schedule>
    <MetricColl NAME="Flushing_Table_Overtime">
      <Condition COLUMN_NAME="Time_Seconds"
                 CRITICAL="30" OPERATOR="GT"
                 MESSAGE="There is a Flushing Table command has exceeded %critical_threshold% seconds."
                 MESSAGE_NLSID="msg_Flushing_Table_Overtime" />
    </MetricColl>
</CollectionItem>If this feature can not be achieved by coding XML, then is there a way to clear alert with Oracle Package? I have confirm neither sysman.em_severity.delete_current_severity nor sysman.em_severity.clear_alerts could do it.
Would anyone give me a hint?
Thanks in advance!

WARNING. Do not confuse SQL*Plus with PL/SQL.
There is no variable command in PL/SQL. PL/SQL does support the boolean data type.
There is a variable command in SQL*Plus. It allows one to define bind variables. It is limited in the data types it supports. It does not support boolean as a bind variable type.
SQL*Plus is a CLI (Command Line Interface) client tool. It has a very limited vocabularly, allowing you to (primarily):
a) configure its local environment (e.g. size of the terminal ito number of characters per lines)
b) configure its bevahiour (e.g. spooling data to a file)
c) defining substitution and bind variables
And that's it. It is not PL/SQL. It is not SQL. It takes the PL/SQL and SQL you enter, and submit that to the Oracle server. (it does some basic parsing of the data to substitute variables and bind variables where applicable)
Do not confuse this CLI client tool with the server side PL/SQL or SQL languages.

Clearing alerts in EM 10g

I have set up EM 10g on a W2K environment and everything is working fine but I have alerts on some targets that I have already taken care of but the do not "go away".
Is there a way to clear alerts?
For instance, last weekend an archive log disk got full. I resolved the incidence but I still have a red alert about log file switch %.
Thanks for your help.

But it looks awful when you see it because you automatically think there's a problem when there isn't !
Old OEM 9 used to put the little green flag up when it cleared....
Right ! Who's for hacking the PL/SQL ! :)

Swap utilization %

Hi,
I am running 2 database instances of Oracle 11g on Solaris 10 (SPARC T-5120).
At the OS level it seems that the swap is not being used at all, but at the OEM, it shows the "Swap Utlization %" is about 80%
bash-3.00$ swap -l
swapfile dev swaplo blocks free
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3 32,3 16 36877808 36877808
Could someone please help me to understand these two indicator and to which one I need to pay attention.
Also, I noticed that if I increase the "memory_max_target" parameter, the "Swap Utilization%" increases.
Regards,
AShum

I am not getting clear email alert from OEM 11g, even after the issue fixed.
For eg: I got critical alert when I have shutdown the DB.But I didn't get clear alert even I have started my DB and is up running.
I am getting only critical and warning alerts but not clear alerts from 11g Grid control.

Oracle Linux - Swap Utilization

I am running Oracle 11.2.0.2 on Oracle Linux x86 64-bit.
In looking at OEM, I see my swap utilization reported at 17.01% and I see virtual memory paging listed in the ADDM Performance and Analysis section:
Host operating system was experiencing significant paging but no particular root cause could be detected. Investigate processes that do not belong to this instance running on the host that are consuming significant amount of virtual memory. Also consider adding more physical memory to the host.
There no additional or non-standard processes running on this server.
For those of you that are running similar configurations, does this seem normal or typical for you? Might you guess that I have potential problems with swapping or is this normal or an EOM “false alarm”?
Additional info:
My server is virtual. I am using Huge Pages and I am certain my SGA is fully contained in there.
Memory Statistics
Host Mem (MB):     14,031
SGA use (MB):     8,192
PGA use (MB):     509
% Host Mem used for SGA+PGA:     62.01

RAM utilization becoming 100% after restarting it is ok

Hi
Gurus i am using ECC6.0 Sql server on windows , our system RAM utilization for every 2 or 3 days becoming 100%, and then all repsonce times are becoming high...When i restart the system then system will be ok.
any i suggestions where do i start the investigation...
Thanks in advance
Balaji

Hi,
Looks like the Memory requirement in your system is higher the resources you have in the system.
The reason why you are getitng the slow respsone is that when all the phisical memory is utilised, paging used to start which cause the system slow and when you restart the system, all the memory utilization refreshed and all the pages got free again.
Please check the memory consusmpltion in your system using the Tcode ST06 and if swapping is high most of the time, You can take a call for increase RAM of your system.
Please also make sure that you have set the SAP recommanded parameters for paging related in your system.

Hello, cant clear songs from an Ipod shuffle.

I have an Ipod shuffle that I am trying to clear the songs from and add new songs. When I try and clear the songs it tells me do not disconect and after a while it tells me the update was succesfull and I can disconect my Ipod Shuffle. The list appears to be blank although it still says the same amount of space has/is used as before it was cleared.
I have done the reset to factory settings and that has not solved it. I have then tried to reboot the system and no luck. I have then rebooted the system and still nothing. I have uninstalled Itunes and reinstalled Itunes and still no luck. I have tried 5 diffrant usb ports on this box and nothing.
As a last result I have then installed itunes on 4 diffrant pcs and one lap top and still nothing. The shuffle plays the songs life is good for the most part. I just cant replace them. I even used the auto fill selected the play list I wanted and had the replace all songs selected. When I do this it claims it is updating and then gives an error message of not enough space.
The worst part is the smug sob next to me is enjoying his Iriver man wish I could smack him down. -Nasty I river crap not installed on these machines and never was.- please help me out gang.

How to clear alerts from icalendar

I have two alerts that are showing up on my icalendar on my macbook pro. This alert is the same alert when your Apple devices show you have either missed a phone call/text/email. Does anyone know how to get rid of this?? Help!!

Plase post questions like this in the Enterprise Manager.
Alerts can be cleared by fixing the underlying cause (metric values that crosses thresholds setup). E.g. by adding space to a tablespace.

Clearing alerts in Oracle 10g

I have several alerts in the Oracle 10g Enterprise Manager which I have already catered for. Is there a way to clear these alerts??

I looked thru the stored procs and I see a trigger for mgmt_current_severity and the mgmt$alert_current view shows you this data..
Looks like mgmt_current_severity is the key to these alerts..
I get the impression that 10g OEM was delivered missing quite a bit of the promised functionality .. like reporting and such.
So I expect a big update soon.
