7 Forms

There are various metrics which can be used to monitor Forms Services.

7.1 Load

The Load category provides information about the present Load generated by Forms processes.

7.1.1 Total CPU (%)

This metric is calculated from the total amount of CPU being used by all the Forms processes.

By default, the thresholds for this metric are not defined The value for the thresholds can be edited as required.

7.1.1.1 Metric Summary

The following table shows how often the metric's value is collected and compared against the default thresholds. The 'Consecutive Number of Occurrences Preceding Notification' column indicates the consecutive number of times the comparison against thresholds should hold TRUE before an alert is generated.

Table 7-1 Metric Summary Table

Target Version	Evaluation and Collection Frequency	Upload Frequency	Operator	Default Warning Threshold	Default Critical Threshold	Consecutive Number of Occurrences Preceding Notification	Alert Text
All Versions	Every Minute	After Every 12 Samples	>	Not Defined	Not Defined	1	CPU Utilization is %value%%%

7.1.1.2 Data Source

The value of this metric is calculated using operating system specific commands.

7.1.1.3 User Action

Specific to your site.

7.1.2 Total Memory (%)

This metric is calculated from the total amount of private and shared memory being used by all the Forms processes.

By default, this metric has a critical threshold of 90 and a warning threshold of 80. A critical alert is generated when the metric value exceeds the critical threshold value 1 time. A warning alert is generated when the metric value exceeds the warning threshold value 1 time. The value for the thresholds can be edited as required.

7.1.2.2 Data Source

The value of this metric is calculated using operating system specific commands.

7.1.2.3 User Action

Specific to your site.

7.1.3 Total number of users

This metric reports the total number of Forms sessions being monitored by Enterprise Manager.

7.1.3.1 Metric Summary

The following table shows how often the metric's value is collected.

Target Version	Collection Frequency
All Versions	Every Minute

7.1.3.2 Data Source

This value of this metric is based on the number of Forms processes executing on the host.

The current value of this metric can also be seen under Response and Load on the Forms Overview Page.

7.1.3.3 User Action

7.2 Response

The Response category provides information about the responsiveness of the Forms Servlet.

7.2.1 ResponseTime(ms)

This metric displays the response time in milliseconds for the Oracle Forms Servlet.

By default, this metric has a critical threshold of 1000 and a warning threshold of 500. A critical alert is generated when the metric value exceeds the critical threshold value 1 time. A warning alert is generated when the metric value exceeds the warning threshold value 1 time. The value for the thresholds can be edited as required.

7.2.1.1 Metric Summary

Table 7-3 Metric Summary Table

Target Version	Evaluation and Collection Frequency	Upload Frequency	Operator	Default Warning Threshold	Default Critical Threshold	Consecutive Number of Occurrences Preceding Notification	Alert Text
All Versions	Every Minute	After Every 12 Samples	>	500	1000	1	The Forms Listener response time is unacceptable.

7.2.1.2 Data Source

The value of this metric is obtained by measuring the response to the Servlet URL shown on the Forms Overview Page.

7.2.1.3 User Action

Specific to your site.

7.2.2 Status

By default, this metric has a critical threshold of 0 indicating that the Forms Servlet is unreachable. A critical alert is generated when the metric value equals the critical threshold value once. It is advisable that this threshold be left at the default value.

7.2.2.1 Metric Summary

Table 7-4 Metric Summary Table

Target Version	Evaluation and Collection Frequency	Upload Frequency	Operator	Default Warning Threshold	Default Critical Threshold	Consecutive Number of Occurrences Preceding Notification	Alert Text
All Versions	Every Minute	After Every 12 Samples	=	Not Defined	0	1	The Forms instance is not accessible.

7.2.2.2 Data Source

The value of this metric is obtained by measuring the availability of the Servlet URL shown on the Forms Overview Page.

The current value of this metric can also be seen under Response and Load on the Forms Overview Page.
