Known issues

Cartridge-related issues

FAIO-217

PI engine didn't use new credential changed in Connection Details dashboard.

Workaround: Reactive the agent after changing the credential.

FOM-76

RAC agents do not collect data after changed credential from sysdba to nosysdba.

Workaround: Refer to the KB: https://support.quest.com/foglight-for-databases/kb/317055/rac-agents-do-not-collect-data-after-changed-credential-from-using-sysdba-to-nosysdba.

FOM-81

Cannot monitor Extdata due to commands located in folder /usr/sbin.

Workaround: Check “Use Sudo” when monitoring Exadata.

FOM-769

Cannot receive email of DBO - Invalid Materialized Views alarm when the agent is RAC one node instance.

Workaround:

2
Go to the Configure Alarms dashboard.
3
Select All Alarms or a specific alarm.
4
Click Set configuration on selected agents.
6
Click Apply to apply the setting to selected RAC agent.

FOGDG-858

DB instance is still synchronized and displayed in FMS federation master even when it is stopped for some reason and not displayed in the FMS federation child.

ODB-2829

When running user-defined collections on dynamic tables, deleted items are still kept in the topology. As a result, the number of rows displayed on the user-defined collections table will exceed the configured value for maximum allowed rows.

ODB-2984

In the Global Administration > User-defined Collections screen, it is possible to create two collections that bear the same name with a different capitalization (for example: MyCollection and Mycollection); however, only one collection will appear in the topology, and be displayed on the User-defined Collections panel.

ODB-3029

Creation of user-defined collections for a RAC database should be executed by selecting the RAC agent itself and not the RAC and its nodes.

ODB-4002

Using the administration module to configure the sessions screen parameters for a single node in a RAC environment will result in all the RAC nodes being configured with the same parameter.

ODB-4417

User-defined collections that return a variant number of columns (such as select * from ...) will only retrieve the columns that existed during its creation. Any additional columns added at a later time will be ignored.

ODB-6784

Version 5.6.4 and above of the product uses only SSH to connect to Unix hosts. Customers upgrading from previous versions of the product that were using telnet will now be converted to use SSH.

ODB-6939

Customers that are monitoring instances using nslookup/IP and are upgrading to the new version of the product should create the infrastructure cartridge agents themselves manually.

ODB-7064

“Challenge response” credentials do not appear in the advanced lockbox pop up.

ODB-7171

The following metrics display NA when monitoring a RAC one node:

ODB-7208, ODB-7169

The current implementation does not support collecting listener data from remote Windows hosts using Windows local execution (the user that is currently running the agent manager).

ODB-7427

The Listener graphs under the Usability dashboard are not populated with data when monitoring RAC One Node.

ODB-7446

The following alarms are displayed in the RAC level instead of the instance level:

ODB-7452

Setting the connection details of a RAC One Node and failing the validation, will result in failure to save the changes.

ODB-7454

The invalid objects exclude list is not supported for RAC and RAC One Node.

ODB-7457

When converting RAC One Node to RAC the OS cluster failover alarm is triggered.

ODB-7463

Upgrading an instance that has a legacy OS cartridge installed on its host will result in creation of the database agent without the creation of the infrastructure agent.

Workaround: Create the infrastructure agent manually.

ODB-8272, ODB-8128

Foglight for Oracle supports monitoring OS clusters residing on VMware machines only in the configuration of one OS cluster node per data center; monitoring is not possible if two or more cluster nodes are located on different data center, to provide disaster recovery.

ODB-8298

Upgrading an ASM agent that was created manually will result in a malfunctioning ASM agent that requires reconfiguration, unless the following fields in the agent settings are cloned: ASM Instances, Host Details, Environment Variables, Collection Details, and Exclude Diskgroups.

ODB-8697

The Exclude Tablespace feature allows inserting tablespaces only by using the Java regular expression syntax, rather than wildcards.

ODB-9129, ODB-9337

When selecting the RSA key connection type in the Exadata, ASM, and CRS installers, after loading the id_rsa file, the dialog box Add Cells is automatically refreshed, thereby resetting all other fields in the dialog box (Host name, User, Passphrase, Port, and sudo) leaving them empty.

ODB-9143

Exadata, ASM, and CRS agents are marked in the upgrade process as 'other agents', even though they are Oracle agents and should be marked as such.

ODB-9215

The Global Administration does not support the CRS, Exadata and ASM agents. As a result, any modification of the settings of the collection frequencies, retention policies, alarms and email notifications for these agents can be carried out only using the default Foglight tools.

ODB-9290

The CRS installation wizard does not support using the connection type Local user, when the monitored host runs on UNIX.

Workaround: Use command line installation (CLI) through the Silent Installer tool, which supports this configuration.

ODB-9291

Using a virtual name when creating a CRS agent is not supported by either the CRS installation wizard or the Silent Installer tool (command line installation); both tools only support using a physical name or an IP address.

ODB-9738

In an environment that includes a Foglight Agent Manager concentrator, when upgrading the environment where the concentrator does not contain any regular agents, the concentrator is not upgraded. Therefore, after the upgrade process takes place the Foglight Agent Manager concentrator has to be deployed manually.

ODB-9739

When editing the properties of the Foglight Agent Manager concentrator (Dashboards > Administration > Agents > Agent Status), the name of the Foglight Agent Managers should be entered in the Downstream FglAMs section exactly as they appear in the topology, under Home > Agents > All agents > <Agent name> > RMI data > FglAM host property.

ODB-9950

Oracle monitoring installer does not support validation for the required sudo commands. Therefore, the sudo user should be prepared before using it. For details, see Foglight for Oracle User Guide.

ODB-10015

The following secondary parameters are not cloned when creating an agent using the Oracle Monitoring Installer:

Unless these parameters and cloned and modified by the user, the upgrade process will override them with the default values.

ODB-10060

When a UNIX-based Foglight Agent Manager, which is selected for monitoring a Windows-based Oracle or ASM cluster, is using virtual IP to connect to the Oracle or ASM instance, the OS connection validation fails.

Workaround: Use the virtual IP /physical IP/physical host name.

ODB-10154

In order to allow the agent to connect to the remote Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) components on Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 systems, special registry settings are required. For details, see section Configuring Registry Settings for Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 in Agent Manager Guide.

ODB-10907

The following dashboards and views may be less responsive than others due to their complexity:

ODB-10918

Support for Oracle 12c has the following restrictions:

On the database agents' Administration > Oracle > Collection Settings screen, the Tablespace Settings tab is disabled. Tablespace Storage collection settings cannot be edited for Oracle 12c.

ODB-11467

In environments configured to use Agent Manager in High Availability mode the chosen Agent Manager hosting the SQL PI repository will host watchdog and maintenance agents that cannot participate in the Agent Manager high availability utility.

ORAFOG-721

Unable to create agents to monitor RAC via Installer Wizard when RAC nodes only support connection with service name.

Workaround: Create an agent manually in the Agent Status dashboard, and then change its “monForceSid” in ASP to false.

ORAFOG-734

If there are two credentials with the same account name existing in the Foglight Management Server, picking one credential in “Set Credential” and “Test connection” might cause the other credential to be updated as well.

ORAFOG-753
