Adding ASM Instances

The process of adding ASM instances is almost identical to the process of adding Oracle instances as described in:

•
Installing and Monitoring a Single Oracle Instance .
•
Discovering Multiple Instances to Monitor .

To add ASM instances go to the ASM tab. Click Monitor more ASM instances at the upper left corner of the Databases table.

If the installer detected that the ASM instance is part of an ASM cluster, a dialog box appears asking you to verify the connection details.

After ASM instances are configured, the ASM tab will provide access to a more detailed ASM Dashboard. For details, see Reviewing ASM Instances

Configuring Multiple Instances for Monitoring using Silent Installation

* 
NOTE: The instructions below refer to adding multiple Oracle agents. A similar process exists for adding multiple ASM instances. For more information, see Configuring Multiple Instances for ASM .
To add multiple agents using the silent installation through a command line interface:
1
In the navigation panel, under Dashboards, click Administration > Cartridges > Components for Download.
2
Click the Installer icon beside DB_Oracle_CLI_Installer.
3
Follow your browser’s prompts to save the ZIP file.
4
Extract the ZIP file to a directory of your choice.
The ZIP file contains the following files:
•
README.txt file
•
oracle_cli_installer.groovy — a groovy script file that runs the silent installation. This file should be copied to the <FMS_HOME>/bin directory.
•
oracle_silent_installer_input_template.csv — a template file that should serve as the basis for inserting contents into the input CSV file. This file can be copied to any folder of your choice, provided that the path indicated by the <Instances_file_names> parameter (see below) points to the selected path. For details about the contents of this file, see Contents of the input CSV file for Oracle instances
5
Copy the oracle_cli_installer.groovy file to the <FMS_HOME>/bin directory.
6
Go to the command line and execute the command:
<FMS_HOME>/bin/fglcmd -srv <fms_host_name> -port <fms_url_port> -usr <fms_user_name> -pwd <fms_user_password> -cmd script:run -f oracle_cli_installer.groovy fglam_name <fglam_name> instances_file_name <instances_file_name> lockbox_name <lockbox_name> lockbox_password <lockbox_password>
The descriptions of the flags and parameters in this command are as follows:
•
<FMS_HOME>: The Foglight Management Server installation directory.
•
<fms_host_name>: The name of the host where the Management Server is installed.
•
<fms_url_port>: The Management Server HTTP port.
•
<fms_user_name>: The user name used for connecting to the Management Server.
•
<fms_user_password>: The password of the specified user.
•
<fglam_name>: The name of the selected Foglight Agent Manager where new agents are to be added.
•
<instances_file_name>: The full path and the name of the input CSV file.
•
<lockbox_name>: Optional — specifies the name of an existing lockbox that would be used.
•
<lockbox_password>: Optional — the selected lockbox's password.
7
After the installation process completes, review the CSV files that are created in the same folder where the input file resides:
•
A file with the input file's name and _status suffix (for example: if the input file is named input, this file is named input_status).
This file indicates the monitoring situation of all Oracle instances listed in the input CSV file. If monitoring failed for one or more of the instances, the file specifies the error message.
The _status file includes the name of the monitored Foglight for Oracle agent, the result of the monitoring validation process - MONITORED, FAILED, or AGENT EXISTS - and the error message, in case the agent creation failed.
* 
IMPORTANT: If all instances listed in the input CSV file passed the monitoring validation successfully, no additional file is created.
•
A file with input file's name and _new suffix (for example: if the input file is named input, this file is named input_new).
This file, which is only created if one or more instances, nodes or RACs failed the monitoring validation, contains all details about these instances, RACs, or nodes.
Using this CSV file, the user only needs to fix the errors and re-run the script, this time by specifying this file as the input file, that is: the original file name with suffix _new. In the example used here, the new file should be named input_new_new.csv.

Contents of the input CSV file for Oracle instances

The input CSV file contains the following fields, which are used as columns in the resulting file.

 
 
Table 1. Contents of the input CSV file for Oracle instances
Name
Description

RAC Agent Name

•
If the instance belongs to a RAC, this field has to contain the name of the RAC agent.
•
If this RAC runs multiple nodes, all instances must have the same RAC agent name.
•
If the instance does not belong to a RAC, leave this field empty.

Instance Type

The type of the instance to be monitored. The possible values are: SINGLE, NODE, RAC ONE NODE.

•
SINGLE: the instance does not belong to a RAC.
•
NODE: the instance belongs to a RAC that has more than one instance.
•
RAC ONE NODE: the instance belongs to a RAC with a single node.

Configuring Multiple Instances for ASM

To add multiple agents using the silent installation through a command line interface:
1
In the navigation panel, under Dashboards, click Administration > Cartridges > Components for Download.
2
Click the Installer icon beside DB_Oracle_ASM_CLI_Installer.
3
Follow your browser’s prompts to save the ZIP file.
4
Extract the ZIP file to a directory of your choice.
