User Defined Metrics problem

Hi.
I have strange problem with Grid 10.2.0.5. When I create UDM based on sql quary. When I create UDM paste username and password and click "test" button UDM returns value but when I schedule UDM to run every 5 min UDM did not return any value. Any ideas ???
Best Regards
Jarek

Hi Jarek,
Were you careful to press the Ok button after your test thus saving the UDM definition? Or did you perhaps attempt to edit the UDM after the original creation and not give it the credentials (again)?
I've done this a few times myself :)

Problem creating user-defined metric for Database

I am logged in to EM/Grid Control as SYSMAN, any user with superadmin privileges or a 'normal' user with operator/full privileges for my database target. When I go to set up user-defined metrics for the target db I get the following warning "You will only be able to view User Defined metrics because you do not have Operator Privileges on host <db target name>". The Create button is disabled.
Can anyone offer any advise on where to identify the privilege problem?
Thanks

Well I did it with a host UDM calling a local script (which will be installed on shared drives for the development/test and production systems).
The local script cats the /var/opt/oracle/oratab file eliminating lines beginning with # or $ then takes the second argument of each line and loops through all entries using a checkit procedure. The checkit procedure determines if the appropriate log directores exist for the oracle home and does a find on the diretory looking for alert*.log and *.trc. If there are any then global variables get updated with the count and directory name.
There is an if statement before exit that checks of the count of files is greater than zero and write an appropriate em_result and em_message depending on the results.
I then created the UDM in EM to call this script and check for critical/warning thresholds.

SQL Statement Works In sqlplus, Not Grid Ctl For User Defined Metric

I'm trying these queries:
Query 1:
select '0', '0' from dual
union
SELECT
to_char(d.sid),
to_char(d.serial#)
FROM v$sql a,
dba_Users c,
v$session d
WHERE
c.Username = 'SYSADM'
AND (a.Elapsed_Time * 0.000001 > 5
OR a.Executions > 1000)
AND a.Executions > 0
AND c.User_Id = a.ParSing_User_Id
AND (Round(a.Elapsed_Time * 0.000001 / a.Executions)) > 10
AND a.last_active_time > (sysdate - 1)
and a.sql_id = d.sql_id
Query 2:
select 0, 0 from dual
union
SELECT
d.sid,
d.serial#
FROM v$sql a,
dba_Users c,
v$session d
WHERE
c.Username = 'SYSADM'
AND (a.Elapsed_Time * 0.000001 > 5
OR a.Executions > 1000)
AND a.Executions > 0
AND c.User_Id = a.ParSing_User_Id
AND (Round(a.Elapsed_Time * 0.000001 / a.Executions)) > 10
AND a.last_active_time > (sysdate - 1)
and a.sql_id = d.sql_id
As you can see, Query 1 is selecting character results, Query 2 is selecting numerical results. Both work from sqlplus on the host. Trying to run either of them in a user defined metric in Grid Control returns: ORA-00918: column ambiguously defined
1. Why is the error returned in Grid Control?
2. Is there a way to see exactly which column Grid Control has the issue with?

Never mind, I got it.

Does SQL Server agent/IIS plugin support User-Defined metrics?

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a way to add a user-defined metric that connects to a SQL Server database?
Thanks

Recently, I released a full MySQL plug-in, for example - http://www.pythian.com/blogs/mysql-plug-in-for-oracle-grid-control
For me it's not very difficult but it takes some time to get used to.
I did presentations on creating Management plug-ins and couple articles in IOUG SELECT Magazine. The latest presentation and whitepaper is here - http://www.pythian.com/blogs/466/ioug-collaborate-07-oracle-10g-grid-control
Official extensibility guide has much more details and is priceless reference but, still, not everything is documented there.

User-Defined Metric: Number Format

Hi,
I created an User-Defined Metric, but the result of my SQl command is a little bit strange.
select sid,min
from (select username,
               osuser,
               machine,
               sid,
               serial#,
               round(last_call_et/60) min,
               module
          from v$session s
         where username is not null
           and machine like (select machine || '_%' from v$session where sid = 1)
           and last_call_et>(120*60)
           and status='ACTIVE'
           and lockwait is null
         union
        select username,
               osuser,
               machine,
               sid,
               serial#,
               round(last_call_et/60) min,
               module
          from v$session s
         where username is not null
           and machine not like (select machine || '_%' from v$session where sid = 1)
           and last_call_et>(480*60)
           and status='ACTIVE'
           and lockwait is null) sess
where nvl(sess.module,'any') not in ('XDP_Q_EVENT_SVC','XDP_Q_IN_MSG_SVC')
;and my result:
Key             Value
32.000000     1,222
40.000000     1,186
73.000000     1,194
410.000000     1,190
2115.000000     2,178
400.000000     1,224
1766.000000     1,220How can I modify my SELECT statement that the Key values don't contain the 0 and the point?
So I would like this format:
Key     Value
32     1,222
40     1,186
73     1,194
4100     1,190
2115     2,178
400     1,224
1766     1,220

In case anyone else is looking for this answer - at least what worked for us.
It seems Oracle is parsing the "select TO_CHAR(SID,'99999'), other_column from ...." by comma instead of by what the output is coming back with. So in this case it thinks the output has three columns because of the two commas in the select clause. So we just went with an inline view similar to select a.sid, a.other_column from (select TO_CHAR(SID,'99999'), other_column from .... ) a and that worked for us. Assuming its a version thing since the non-inline view worked for someone else. We're on 11.1 of the oms.

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.

Is it possible to create user defined metrics in Grid Control 10.2.0.1 ?

Hi,
Is it possible to create user defined metrics(my SQL statement) in Grid Control 10.2.0.1
(not 10.2.0.3) Linux/AIX ?
Łukasz

I am not sure if I am correct, but for reasons best known to them, Oracle replaced rather than add.
Even if you want to do a smart search using the part# (e.g B16242-03) in oracle.com, you get a whole list of results, but when you click on them, you get http://www.oracle.com/errors/404.html
I found this copy http://www.oracle.polcreate.pl/em.102/b16242/toc.htm

10g EM Creating User-Defined Metrics

I am trying to create some user-defined metrics to get a threshold for our ASM disk group used space percentage, archiving used space percentage, and so on.
I have read the article 'System Monitoring Using Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Release 2' on link of http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe10gemgc/monitoring/monitoring.html. It has a screen shot for Related Link of User-Defined Metrics, but I don't have it on my 10g EM (which is version 10.2.0.2).
I would like to know if any one have any idea telling where I can find it?

You create User Defined Metrics (UDM) by selecting the User Defined Metrics link on the Database page. The type of UDM you create will dpend on what result you are expecting. For instnace, you want to be alerted when the balance on an account falls below zero (overdraft). So you can use an SQL query that returns a number which is checked against the threshold you set.

User Defined metric getting deleted

Hi,
We are running Oracle 10.2.0.5 Enterprise Manager and we have one of the database running Oracle 11.2.0.3. I created a User defined metric and every time I create it gets deleted and the rule fails. Can someone please let me know where to check which process is deleting the user defined metric?

What you are trying to di is certainly possible.
You need however to create a Plugin for this. By creating a Plugin you will be able to create a "Custom" target type, which allows you to display and use it in the OEM Console just like all other targets.
Check http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/extensions/index.html for more information on how to do this.

Prevented from creating User Defined Metric

I am using Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Database Control.
When I try to create a User Defined Metric I get a screen that says:
Information:
You cannot create a User Defined Metric because host <my_host> is currently unavailable. Try again later when it becomes available.
I cannot find any information on how to resolve this.

User Defined Metric for default ALERT log directory

On our system we have moved the alert log to a non-default location. If we use the wrong initialization file or something else goes haywire then trace files and alert logs get placed in the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log directory.
I want to create a user defined metric for each machine that will look in all the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log directories for each ORACLE_HOME on the server checking for any alert*.log or *.trc files. Creating an alert if it encounters any of these files.
I don't know if I should do it as a host UDM or an instance UDM. And more to the point how do I get it to see the multiple homes if the server has more than one.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
Tim

Well I did it with a host UDM calling a local script (which will be installed on shared drives for the development/test and production systems).
The local script cats the /var/opt/oracle/oratab file eliminating lines beginning with # or $ then takes the second argument of each line and loops through all entries using a checkit procedure. The checkit procedure determines if the appropriate log directores exist for the oracle home and does a find on the diretory looking for alert*.log and *.trc. If there are any then global variables get updated with the count and directory name.
There is an if statement before exit that checks of the count of files is greater than zero and write an appropriate em_result and em_message depending on the results.
I then created the UDM in EM to call this script and check for critical/warning thresholds.

Environment variables in a OS User-Defined Metric Page

I'm creating an OS-based User-Defined Metric in a Grid Control through a perl script
How can I pass my own environment variables in the script setting the User-Interface Element- Environment, where for example i can specify var1=%perlBin% var2=%scriptsDir% etc ?
The description in the User-Defined Metric Page says:
Environment
See Available Properties box for values you can assign to environment variables. Enter as space-separated list: var1=prop1 var2=prop2
-r
Josh

That's exactly correct, you can specify them in the Environment field as defined here:
Table 15-3 Create User-Defined Metric Page: Definition
User-Interface Element Description
Metric Name
Metric name identifying the user-defined metric in the Enterprise Manager user interface. This name must be unique for all User-Defined Metrics created on that host.
Metric Type
Type of the value returned by the user-defined script. Choose "NUMBER" if your script returns a number. Choose "STRING" if your script returns an alphanumeric text string.
Command Line
Enter the complete command line entry required to execute the user-defined script. You must enter the full command path as well as full path to the script location. For example, to run a Perl script, you might enter something like the following in the Command Line entry field:
/u1/bin/perl /u1/scripts/myScript.pl
The content of the Command Line is passed as a literal string, so you may use any syntax, special characters, or parameters allowed by your operating system.
Environment
Optional. Enter any environmental variable(s) required to run the user-defined script. A list of predefined properties that can be passed to your script as variables is listed in the Available Properties box. You may also specify your own environment variables. Multiple variables can be defined as a space-separated list.
Example: If your script uses three variables (var1, var2, var3) where var1 is the location of the Perl directory (predefined), var2 is the directory where your Perl scripts are stored (predefined), and var3 is an Oracle home, your entry in the Environment text entry field would appear as follows:
var1=%perlBin% var2=%scriptsDir% var3=/u1/orahome10
For example, simply set var1=/this/is/the/directory/i/want/to/have/set/in/var1
then var1 will be /this/is/the/directory/i/want/to/have/set/in/var1

Java User-defined packages problem!

Hi everyone,
I am new to java programming.I am trying to do a small program to see how the user-defined pckages work.I wrote 2 small programs one is Balance.java and TestBalance.java.
The code for Balance.java is as follows..
package MyPack;
public class Balance{
        String name;
        double bal;
        public Balance(String n, double b){
                name = n;
                bal = b;
        public void show(){
                if(bal < 0)
                     System.out.print("--->");
                  System.out.println(name + ": $" + bal);
      }The code for TestBalance.java is as follows..
import MyPack.*;
class TestBalance{
        public static void main(String args[]){
                Balance test = new Balance("Leela",99.88);
                test.show();
}These r both in the same directory....I am able to compile Balance.java...but when I try to compile TestBalance.java I am getting the following errors
TestBalance.java:1: package MyPack does not exist
import MyPack.Balance;
              ^
TestBalance.java:5: cannot resolve symbol

Could someone plz tell me what is the mistake...it would be very helpful for me if someone could plz tell me what the problem is...
Thanx in advance.

99% going to work
i have noticed some of the few thing
trying to help
u told that ur both the classes r in same directory right
ok
now ur first class has this as first line
package mypack;//till here its ok only "mypack" should be small case
now put this same line also in the other class as firat line
and remove that import statement since both r in same package so no
need to import it ok
here's the code
package mypack;class TestBalance{        public static void main(String args[]){                Balance test = new Balance("Leela",99.88);                test.show();           } }
now compile it this way
create a folder call mypack and put this both the classes in that folder
say its c:\mypack\ur classes
now in dos prompt
type this
set classpath=%classpath%;C:\mypack \
now u compile ur first class and then second
Surely this going to work if not tell me the errors u r getting

LMS 3.2 Common Services User Defined Groups problem

CiscoWorks LMS 3.2 is installed on Windows 2008 64-bit server.
All devices are added into appropriate User defined group in Groups/Common Services.
All groups are fine except that Members of group named Switch-HO-access have been copied also to group named Router-Branch by system for unknown reasons.
At few files we have noticed errors :
" FATAL com.cisco.nm.xms.ogs.server.OGSServer main Exception while OGS Server start up: CTMRegistry::startRegistryServer() : Can't find/start registry server " and
" com.cisco.nm.xms.ogs.util.OGSException: CTMRegistry::startRegistryServer() : Can't find/start registry server ".
What is the reason for copying this devices and is there some other underlying problem?

it seems that the errors you see correlate with regular stopping/starting of the LMS processes (dmgtd) so this would be a normal behaviour.
Can you provide a screenshot of the problem you describe and also the rule for the group Switch-HO-access and Router-Branch
