The Alarms dashboard times out when the Agent Name is used as part of the Filter.
In the FMS log we see error messages similar to:
2012-10-16 11:14:26.457 ERROR [http-0.0.0.0-8080-17] function id: system:core_alarms_alarmfilter.31 - Error filtering alarms.
com.quest.wcf.data.DataSourceException: org.hibernate.exception.SQLGrammarException: could not execute query
.
.
Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01745: invalid host/bind variable name
WORKAROUND 1:
1. From Foglight Console, Navigate to Configuration -> Definitions
2. Expand the Alarms node, and select the AlarmFilter node.
3. Select "Functions" from the dropdown (default says "Views").
4. Select the "Alarm Filter" entry.
5. Click "Edit".
6. Type "return alarms;" (without quotes) on a new line immediately after the line reading "alarms = new ArrayList()"
7. Click "Save"
8. You can now safely navigate to the Alarms dashboard, and remove the filter on Agent Name.
9. Repeat Steps 1-7, but remove the "return alarms;" to restore the function to its original state.
WORKAROUND 2:
Try filtering on the Origin (rule name) instead of the agent name
STATUS:
Waiting for a fix in a future relase of Foglight
