3 Oracle High Availability Service

This chapter provides information about the Oracle High Availability Service metrics.

For each metric, it provides the following information:

  • Description

  • Metric table

    The metric table can include some or all of the following: target version, default collection frequency, default warning threshold, default critical threshold, and alert text.

3.1 CRS nodeapp Status

The metric in this category monitors the status of the Oracle Cluster Ready Services (CRS) node applications (nodeapps), Virtual Internet Protocol (IP), Global Services Daemon (GSD), and Oracle Notification System (ONS).

3.1.1 nodeapp Status

This metric monitors the status of the nodeapps, IP, GSD, and ONS. A critical alert is raised for the nodeapp if its status is OFFLINE NOT RESTARTING. A warning alert is raised for the nodeapp if its status is either UNKNOWN or OFFLINE.

Target Version Evaluation and Collection Frequency Default Warning Threshold Default Critical Threshold Alert Text
10g, 11gR1 Every 5 minutes UNKNOWN|OFFLINE OFFLINE NOT RESTARTING CRS resource %nodeapps% is %status%

Multiple Thresholds

For this metric you can set different warning and critical threshold values for each nodeapp object.

If warning or critical threshold values are currently set for any nodeapp object, those thresholds can be viewed on the Metric Detail page for this metric.

To specify or change warning or critical threshold values for each nodeapp object, use the Edit Thresholds page.

Data Source

Not available.

User Action

Refer to the Real Application Clusters Administration and Deployment Guide for node applications startup and troubleshooting information.

3.2 CRS Virtual IP Relocation Status

The metrics in this category provide information about whether there is a Virtual IP relocation taking place. When a Virtual IP is relocated from the host (node) on which it was originally configured, a critical alert is generated.

3.2.1 Virtual IP Relocated

This metric shows whether the Virtual Internet protocol has relocated from the host (node) where it was originally configured. The value is TRUE if relocation occurred. Otherwise it is FALSE. When the value is TRUE, a critical alert is raised.

Target Version Evaluation and Collection Frequency Default Warning Threshold Default Critical Threshold Alert Text
10g, 11gR1 Every 5 minutes Not Defined TRUE CRS resource %vip% was relocated to %current_node%

Multiple Thresholds

For this metric you can set different warning and critical threshold values for each Virtual IP Name object.

If warning or critical threshold values are currently set for any Virtual IP Name object, those thresholds can be viewed on the Metric Detail page for this metric.

To specify or change warning or critical threshold values for each Virtual IP Name object, use the Edit Thresholds page.

Data Source

3.3 Incident

This metrics category provides information about the Incident target.

3.3.1 Alert Log Error Trace File

The alert log error trace file is the name of an associated server trace file generated when the problem causing this incident occurred. If no additional trace file was generated, this field is blank.

Target Version Collection Frequency
All Versions Every 5 Minutes

Data Source

The alert log error trace file name is extracted from the database alert log.

User Action

Examine the alert log error trace file for more information about the problem that occurred.

3.3.2 Alert Log Name

This metric contains the fully specified name of the current XML alert log file (including directory path).

Target Version Collection Frequency
All Versions Every 15 Minutes

Data Source

This name is retrieved by searching the OMS ADR_HOME/alert directory for the most recent (current) log file.

User Action

Examine the alert log file for more information about the problem that occurred.

3.3.3 ECID

The Execution Context ID (ECID) tracks requests as they move through the application server. This information is useful for diagnostic purposes because it can be used to correlate related problems encountered by a single user attempting to accomplish a single task.

Target Version Collection Frequency
All Versions Every 15 Minutes

Data Source

The ECID is extracted from the database alert log.

User Action

Diagnostic incidents usually indicate software errors and should be reported to Oracle through the Enterprise Manager Support Workbench. When you package problems using Support Workbench, the Support Workbench uses ECID to correlate and include any additional problems in the package.

3.3.4 Impact

This metric provides an optional field that reports the impact of the problem that occurred. It may be empty.

Target Version Collection Frequency
All Versions Every 15 Minutes

Data Source

The impact is extracted from the database alert log.

User Action

This field is informational. Diagnostic incidents usually indicate software errors and should be reported to Oracle using the Enterprise Manager Support Workbench.

3.3.5 Incident ID

This metric reports the incident ID, a number that uniquely identifies a diagnostic incident (a single occurrence of a problem).

Target Version Collection Frequency
All Versions Every 15 Minutes

Data Source

The incident ID is extracted from the database alert log.

User Action

Diagnostic incidents usually indicate software errors and should be reported to Oracle using the Enterprise Manager Support Workbench. A problem is one or more occurrences of the same incident. If you use Support Workbench, the incident ID can be used to select the correct problem to package and send to Oracle. If you use the command line tool ADRCI, you can use the Show Incident command with the incident ID to retrieve details about the incident.

3.3.6 Generic Incident

This metric reports the number of Generic Incident type incidents observed the last time that Oracle Enterprise Manager scanned the alert log.

Target Version Evaluation and Collection Frequency Default Warning Threshold Default Critical Threshold Alert Text
12c Every 5 minutes Not Defined .* Incident (%adr_problemKey%) detected in %alertLogName% at time/line number: %timeLine%.

Data Source

The source for this metric is the Incident metric.

User Action

Use Support Workbench in Enterprise Manager to examine the details of the incidents.

3.3.7 Generic Internal Error

This metric reflects the number of Generic Internal Error incidents observed the last time Enterprise Manager scanned the alert log.

12c Every 5 minutes Not Defined .* Internal error (%adr_problemKey%) detected in %alertLogName% at time/line number: %timeLine%.

Data Source

The source for this metric is the Incident metric.

User Action

Use Support Workbench in Enterprise Manager to examine the details of the incidents.
