13.8 Response Metric

The response of two requests to test the status of OracleAS Portal.

13.8.1 Status

Indicates whether or not OracleAS Portal is functioning.

The status is based on the success of two URL calls, one to a test package via mod_plsql and the other to the Parallel Page Engine (PPE):

  • mod_plsql ping to: <protocol>://<host>:<port>/pls/<DAD>/htp.p?cbuf=Test

  • PPE ping to: <protocol>://<host>:<port>/portal/page

13.10 Top Level Monitoring Status Metric

The Top Level Monitoring Status Metric indicates whether or not the services required by OracleAS Portal to monitor the portal instance are up and running.

13.10.1 Top Level Monitoring Status

Indicates whether or not the services required by OracleAS Portal to adequately monitor the portal instance are running. The status value '1' indicates the services are running OK.

The test involves an HTTP ping check on the monitoring witness servlet. This also tests the DMS servlet and therefore, the ability to obtain OracleAS Portal DMS based metrics, such as the Provider, Portlet and Page Engine metrics.

By default, a critical or warning threshold value (or both) is set for this metric column. Alerts are generated when threshold values are reached. You can edit these threshold values, if required.
