You can set custom thresholds for some metrics within Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control. The alerts received are contained within the product and are not set as Alerts and Thresholds on the OKM storage appliance itself.
Table 4-1 shows metrics that have thresholds set with their default values.
Table 4-1 Metrics and Default Threshold Values
| Metric/Columns | Comparison Operator | Warning | Critical | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Agent Performance/Failures per Hour |
> |
5 |
NA |
Issued when an OKM client (such as a tape drive or ZFS Storage Appliance) gets many request failures within the last hour. |
|
Agent Performance/Requests per Hour |
< |
NA |
NA |
Issued when an OKM client is not sending any requests within the last hour (users can use this to indicate a client that is not encrypting). |
|
Cluster Status/HSM Status |
CONTAINS |
NA |
NA |
Issued when the HSM status text matches a certain condition. CONTAINS can be set to "SOFTWARE" to indicate that a KMA is using software for encryption rather than an SCA6000 card (if installed). CONTAINS can be set to "ERROR" to indicate that an error has occurred with either software or hardware encryption. |
|
Cluster Status/Lag Size |
> |
NA |
NA |
Issued if the lag size of a KMA gets large. A large lag size indicates a KMA is way behind on updates. |
|
Cluster Status/Ready Keys Backed Up (%) |
< |
15 |
1 |
Issued if the no keys in the ready key pool have been backed up. If the keys have not been backed up and something happens to the cluster, the keys cannot be retrieved and encrypted data will not be able to be decrypted. |
|
Cluster Status/Service Responding |
< |
NA |
NA |
Issued to indicate the service network of a KMA is not responding. 1 indicates the service network is responding, 0 indicates it is not responding, and a blank indicates it is not reachable or the response status is unknown. |
|
Configuration/FIPs Mode |
< |
NA |
NA |
FIPs mode is 1 if enabled, 0 if disabled. Users can use this to indicate the cluster is not running in FIPs mode. |
|
Configuration/Replication Schema Version |
< |
NA |
14 |
Issued if the cluster replication schema version is downlevel. After an upgrade of the cluster, the replication schema version should set to the maximum. |
|
Configuration/Unenrolled Agents |
> |
NA |
NA |
Issued to indicate potential incomplete configuration of a cluster if not all agents have yet enrolled. |
|
Entity Security Violations/Violations per Hour |
> |
1 |
5 |
Issued for an OKM client that has multiple security violations within the last hour. |
|
KMA Availability/Responding |
< |
2 |
1 |
Issued when KMAs in the cluster stop responding. |
|
KMA Lock Status/Locked |
> |
0 |
NA |
Issued when KMAs are locked. KMAs must be unlocked before they can provide encryption keys. |
|
KMA Performance/Failures per Hour |
> |
5 |
NA |
Issued when a KMA gets many key request failures within an hour. |
|
KMA Performance/Requests per Hour |
< |
NA |
NA |
Issued when a KMA has not provided any keys within an hour. Could be used for performance monitoring. |
|
KMA Security Violations/Violations per Hour |
> |
1 |
5 |
Issued for a KMA that has had multiple security violations within the last hour. |
