SharePlex Manager 3.1 - User Guide

Manage Monitoring

After running the Discovery Wizard and organizing the replication streams you want to monitor by adding them to user-defined replication views, you can open the Manage Monitoring console and perform various tasks to keep your monitoring environment easier to use and up to date:

To open the Manage Monitoring console:

In the SharePlex Manager tab, click Administration. Then click Manage Monitoring.

You can edit instances by changing their system-assigned names, adding or modifying descriptions, and by changing usernames or passwords (which may be a periodic security requirement).

3
Click Edit.
5
Click Save.

You can edit replication views by changing their names and descriptions and by adding or removing replication streams. You can also create new replication views and delete views you do not want.

Note
If you want to create a new replication view, click New Replication View. Then specify a name for view, add a description (optional), and lastly select the replication streams you want to add to the view.
5
Click Save.

You can edit a replication stream by removing it, changing its name, adding a description. or adjusting its baseline time remaining value.

Note
If you have the security rights to set control permissions, you can click Permissions and specify which users have the right to execute control commands on replication processes for the selected stream. For more information on setting control permissions, see the section, “Setting Control Permissions” on page 28.
3
(Optional) Click Remove to delete the replication stream from any replication views. Then when prompted to confirm the removal, click OK.
4
Click Edit.
7
Click Save.

If you have the security rights to set control permissions, you can specify which users can execute control commands on processes in selected replication streams. The right to execute control commands can be granted on either a per-stream or a per-user basis.

SharePlex Manager Permissions can also be set for individual streams in the Stream window. For more information, see the section, “Managing SharePlex Configuration Files” on page 18.

Alert and Alarm Rules

Contents 

Global SharePlex Manager Rules

You can configure SharePlex Manager to execute an alert or alarm rule whenever the performance of a monitored replication stream or SharePlex instance falls below an acceptable level.

SharePlex Manager comes installed with a number of pre-defined alert and alarm rules that, when enabled, apply to all the replication stream and instances that are currently being monitored.

You can customize pre-defined SharePlex Manager rules as you see fit, or you can use them as the basis for alert and alarm rules that are applied to specific replication streams or instances.

Most of the pre-defined rules for SharePlex Manager are disabled by default. A rule must be enabled before you can use it. For more information, see the section, “Enabling SharePlex Manager Rules” on page 43.

Select Administration>Rules & Notifications> Rules.

Most global SharePlex Manager rules are categorized according to the three factors that most affect performance levels in a SharePlex environment:

SharePlex Manager also includes four miscellaneous rules. These include:

In SharePlex Manager, latency is the amount of time it takes to process a redo log record after it has been posted by Oracle for a particular process. Latency is measured in seconds. Pre-defined Latency Alerts and Alarms include the following:

In SharePlex Manager, time remaining metrics indicate the amount of time remaining in seconds to complete processes:

Pre-defined Time Remaining Alerts and Alarms include the following:

In SharePlex Manager, queue size is the number of messages in the backlog for a particular process. Pre-defined Queue Size Alerts and Alarms include the following:

SharePlex Manager includes four additional rules that are triggered when errors occur pertaining to Post processing, stream configuration files, and connections to Web Services. Because these rules are triggered by errors, they are all configured at the alarm level, which means alert levels do not apply. These pre-defined alert and alarm rules include the following:

Each global SharePlex Manager rule is a multiple-severity type rule and defines conditions for both alerts (warnings) and alarms (fatal errors).

4
Click on the icon () next to the Rule Status property to enable the rule.
5
Click OK in the confirmation dialog.

Specific SharePlex Manager Rules

By default, the pre-defined global SharePlex Manager alert and alarm rules apply to all the SharePlex objects that are currently monitored. If you want to apply an alert and alarm rule to a specific stream, instance or queue, you can do so by making a copy of the appropriate global rule and adding logic that applies the rule to the object you want.

5
Click the Topology Type field and in the drop-down list select the SharePlex topology type you the rule is based on, i.e., SharePlex Capture Process.

Click Insert Query.

(Optional) In the Conditions & Actions tab, click the Warning severity level and edit the alert portion of the rule the same way you did the alarm portion.
