System Health Checks Utilities

Hi Linux Gurus,
I need to understand some of the outputs of basic system health checks utilities - vmstat, netstat, iostat. As DBA point of view when I run any of the above utilities - what things I should look for. How can I know, the network traffic is high or network is not performing properly by using netstat. How can I know that the system I/O is high. Also I saw that there are many flags for these utilities which are very helpful to format or limit the output to a certain extent.
I will really appreciate the help on this topic.
Best Regards

Hi Samar
A graphical tool like sourceforge.net/projects/xosview/ can make a part of the job, otherwise does oracle the OS Watcher (OSW) is a set of scripts that continually run in the background, collecting information about: Processes I/O Memory Network
OS Watcher user’s guide in MetaLink note 301137.1
Hope this helps.

Automate SAP System Health Checks using eCATT

Hello Mates,
Can somebody throw light on the possibility of Automating SAP System Health Checks Using eCATT ?
Are there any readily available scripts within? If so from which version of SAP? or, have they to be custom developed?
Thanks in advance for your time and responses.

XI system Daily health check

Hi Gurus,
We have huge production setup, so its high time for us to come up with detailed 'Daily XI systems health check-out' and have pro-active monitoring these systems.
So requesting you to, please help me with items/areas those needs to be checked at regular intervals for daily monitoring....a good reference doc may help me great.
Thanks all in advance.

Sekhar

Sekhar,
There are few checks that needs to be carried out daily and weekly as recommended by SAP. Please check this SAP note : Note 884865 - PI/XI Admin Check and also this document where they have the steps:

1) Modified supplier master details in particular period.
2) Modified customer master details in a particular period.
3) No of cancelled transaction details.
4) Long pending sales order details, it means order has been booked on 10 days before but not yet delivered.

I am also having problems with the new Lenovo Solution Center.
The Thinkvantage button wich used to work great in conjuntion with the Thinkvantage Toolbox does not work with LSC.
With the Thinkvantage Toolbox the mainscreen was clear: you took a glance at it an you knew if there were any problems.
The Solution Center is chaotic the menu structure isn't as well thought out as it was in the Toolbox and the animations and the use of colors make it look like a circus instead of a business tool.
i've already adressed my concerns in this topic:
Introducing Lenovo Solution Center (LSC)
I thought i was the only one having problems with LSC.
Lenovo shouldn't be cutting corners, you pay a premium to own a thinkpad, you wan't premium tools. Not this cheap, non-functional "tool".

Administration Utilities - System Health Monitor - alui 6.1

I'm curious if there is a way I can turn the System Health Monitor utility into a portlet?
It seems like there should an easy way to do this, but I can't seem to find it. Any insight you might be able to provide on either the System Health Monitor or the administration utilities. Or anything that might help for that matter, would be be most appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi geoffgarcia, thanks for looking into my question. I have tried to pass the existing URL back in, as you have suggested, but with no luck. For example:
> Create new Web Service : URL : http://[MYPORTALSERVER]/portal/server.pt?open=space&name=diagnostic&psname=ObjMgr&psid=3&cached=true&control=EditorStart&editorType=10
and then generate a portlet to that service. When I add that portlet to my homepage it throws a
"Error Error - The server has experienced an error. Try again or contact your portal administrator if you continue experiencing problems."
error, but doesn't log the error. View source shows the error to be
"Current User does not have sufficient permission to object with id = 52: com.plumtree.server.marshalers.PTException.... blah blah blah...."
Any ideas? Maybe I'm missing a glaringly obvious setting/configuration?
Thanks again,
-Kevin

I have been looking around for scripts which would help me perform regularised health checks in my enviornment. After lot of googling i was able to get a script which would meet my requirements. However i have a few challenges involved in extracting some
more information:
1. Mailbox Store Size, Free Diskspace percentage for mailbox servers
2. Remote Mail flow Tests & Mailflow test to every exchange 2007 mailbox servers in org.
3. Automating Email of collected data (in HTML) to Administrator.
4. Executing the script Automatically without triggering it from Exchange Management Shell.

SCOM health Check report

please suggest me how to generate SCOM health check report and automation for the same. I am using scom 2007 R2.
And need all windows servers health check report from scom as well...?

Hi
As a good starting point you could use these reports
http://www.systemcentercentral.com/scc-health-check-reports-management-pack-v2/ and some Details here
https://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2010/07/21/system-center-central-some-really-cool-opsmgr-health-reports-available.aspx. Which give you a pretty good picture of your environment.

My mac mini is running slow. Bought it in 2009. Activity monitor shows nothing running that should not be. Someone suggested it might be my operating system? Check for software updates, and I am current. Suggestions?

My mac mini is running slow. Bought it in 2009. Activity monitor shows nothing running that should not be. Someone suggested it might be my operating system? Check for software updates, and I am current. Suggestions?

Open Activity Monitor, Show:>All Processes, sort on CPU%, see if anything using too much CPU% when this happens, click on Memory tab, do you have many Pageouts?
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
Check the S.M.A.R.T. status of the drive in Disk Utilty by highlighting the Drive & looking at the bottom of the window.

Database Health Check Enquiry

Hi all,
Some enquires regarding database health check. I did some research regarding health check, got overwhelmed by the information available out there.
Currently I don't have any report on hand, but currently working and starting on one. This report serves as a report for reference, to understand if there's any database performance issue, and as a report for management.
Wish to check with you folks, what are the typical things that I can look at on a daily basis to understand my database health status, eg. Buffer Hitrate, database I/O etc, especially those that may/will contribute to impact on the database performance. Or is there any good reference link whereby I can do some readup regarding such a health check?
Thanks in advance for any input.
Eugene

Hi Eugene,
Well that's a pretty open question and I guess you will get a lot of replies which I look forward to monitoring as there should be some very interesting ones there.
Anyway, let me just open with one point that I have found very useful in the past. As regards Database Performance , you can look as much as you like at the statistics and a great deal of discretion is required in interpreting them but the real test for me of how well a database is performing is in terms of the user (or application) perception. Are the responses from the database good enough to meet the users expectations. Check the average response time for example and set guidellines for what is acceptable, very good response , very bad response etc.
I use this as a guideline so then once the database is perfoming in the sense that the user is satisfied (or better still happy with the performance) we can gather the statistics (from Oracle 10g onwards there are lots of tools built in like ADDM and AWR for gathering and storing the database statistics) and create baselines. Once we have baselines for a normally performing system, as soon as problems are reported we can run off a diagnostic tool like ADDM for that period , compare it against the baseline and look for the striking differences. From there we can start an analysis of individual numbers, buffer hit ratios etc. to delve further.
Hope this helps , I am sure lots of other people will chip in to this
Regards

in fact the setup is a very basic one. The test users were migrated from an existing exchange 2007 server but again no enterprise features were enabled there. Is there a way to tell what it thinks I need enterprise CALs for? Is this a bug? I saw a notice that
the RTM version had counted the default exchange active sync policy as an ecal requirement but I figured this would have been fixed by now.

looks like it has reared its head in update rollup 8-v2 for sp3. Last year I was playing around with the archive mailbox to see if it was something we may want to implement. At the time our enterprise cal requirements went from 0 to 1 for the test system
I was using. This ended up being something we did not want to pursue at the time so I disabled the option on the account. Happened to run the organizational health link today and now it says that all accounts need enterprise cals. Did not appear to be an issue
in update 7.

HT3782 What does it mean "Battery Health" Check battery in the battery menu bar?

What does it mean "Battery Health" Check battery in the battery menu bar?

Check the full status by going to the apple in the left side of the menu bar, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Power and see what it says about the Cycle count, Battery Condition, Battery Capacisty, charge remaining.
Condition should be Normal or there is a problem
Ratio of charge remaining to cpacity should be close, round off, to the reported battery charge percentage.
Cycle count tells how many charge cycles the battery has been through, typical lifetime cycle count for a current generation battery is 1,000 cycles.

Oracle Applications health check

Hi,
I have to
1). Do health check of oracle applications 11.5.9
2). And recommend to upgrade to R12.
I always have these questions in mind. If a client is running happily on 11.5.9, what should be provided so the client will be convinced to upgrade to R12 (Apart from new features, security, performance).
How to do health check (what all to check for).
Kindly please suggest,

Hi Taher;
1). Do health check of oracle applications 11.5.9
2). And recommend to upgrade to R12.> How to do health check (what all to check for).
In addition to Hussein Sawwan greatest post, please look my blog:

I always have these questions in mind. If a client is running happily on 11.5.9, what should be provided so the client will be convinced to upgrade to R12 (Apart from new features, security, performance).We have same questions too, the main reason to move R11 to R12 is oracle will stop support soon *(As Hussein Sawwan mention)*. If possible you can share this information wiht your client:

HPSA Health Check not working in W8.1

Hi,
I am running Windows 8.1 Pro and I can not get the HPSA to download anything from the HP servers. It states that it connects but it stops at that point. I have uninstaled my current version, restarted my pc, downloaded the most current version of HPSA (7.6.31.30) and installed it, restarted my pc and am still getting the same behavior. Below is a screenshot (it looks like XP but it is 8.1). I have searched the forum for a possible solution but have had no luck.

Hello @MattNC79,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I have read your post on how the HP Support Assistant Health Check does not work on your Windows 8.1 Pro computer, and that you have already uninstalled and re-installed the software. Since most consumer computers only come with Home editions of Windows installed, there may not be any compatible drivers for your Operating System. I would be happy to help you, but first I would encourage you to post your product number for your computer. Below is a is an HP Support document that will demonstrate how to find your computer's product number. In addition, it will also help if you indicate whether your operating system is 32 or 64 bit. The more information you can provide, the better!
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
Please re-post with the necessary information, this way I will be able to research this further for you. I look forward to your reply!

Health Check Error: Dependency$ p_timestamp mismatch for VALID objects

Just before the upgrade when we ran the health check we got the following 8 errors and want to fix them.

Solution as per the 579256.1's is
The returning objects will have to be recompiled or recreated to clear the problem.
Please see Note 781959.1 to recompile them. This can cause problems during upgrade and PLSQL validation.
But in my case above objects are not synonyms and are of type=2.
So, not sure how to fix them. pl. let us know how we can fix these errors.

Well, I can tell you that this kind of error is not OS related, but rather a HW thing. It happens where there is a general detection of something going wrong. Sometimes it can happen randomly and might not be an indication of a problem. But sometimes it can be caused by things that are improperly functioning within the system like bad capacitors.
Unfortunately I don't really know what to do about such things except give you machine a proper inspection. But if things are working fine, and continue to do so, I wouldn't worry about it. If it becomes a regular occurance, then I'd worry.

Other tools/option to achieve Health check

Hi guys,
I saw that there are a lot threads open regarding health check.
I`m searching for an open source tool/commercial tool, manually created scripts that can check all oracle prerequisite (system information, oracle kernel parameters, packages) and Oracle database parameters. For performance analyze, top events, sql statements I stay on AWR or Statspack.
There are already softs that helps to do health check, operating systems prerequisite checks like, Toad, raccheck, rda but I want to know If there are any other great tools/scripts.

Yes, you are right EM is the best tool for this. But I`m sure that there are a lot dba that have created ther own scripts/tool/method for a health check. I want to go to clients that have there own dbas, monitoring database with EM, use oracle scripts. Even if they is using the best tools, I want to come with something new that will run upon oracle server. The output I want to put in a document an make an assesment with reported issues and resolution.This demands the quote "why reinvent the wheel" ? So if I understood you correctly, you want to make a best-out-of-the-best tool isn't it? What makes you think that a tool made by a single person would be better than or even equivalent to 12C CC for example? There are scripts created (and there are some really good ones too) by the DBAs but Oracle is very strongly asking people to get shifted towards the GC/CC as the level of complexity within the database is increasing day by day and its just going to increase.
