Capabilities

Key capabilities of the Oracle Lightweight Availability Collection Tool are as follows:

• Supported on Solaris 10 Containers/Zones

• Supports both SPARC and x86/x64 platforms

• Stores the data in universally accepted datagram format

• Does not generate network traffic

• Tracks boot, halt, and panic events to a granularity of one second

• Facilitates segregation of planned, unplanned, or undefined downtime for finer tracking

• Deploys easily in Sun package format

• Is very Lightweight on system resources

• Facilitates both online and offline reporting

Basic reporting functionality is provided through the ltreport command line interface, which is part of the Oracle Lightweight Availability Collection Tool package. Additionally, the datagram enables a wide range of reporting options that are independent of any reporting database or applications. This enables availability reports to be generated on-site or through any report generating portals at Oracle.

Browser-based graphical reporting can also be performed at a system level. To enable such report generation capabilities, a predefined set of XSL style sheets are provided when the Oracle Lightweight Availability Collection Tool is installed. An XSL translator is required to generate the HTML reports using these style sheets. The XSL translator is not part of the Oracle Lightweight Availability Collection Tool, see Xalan Installation for more information about an XSL translator.
