SNMP
AccelOps uses SNMP to discover and monitor this device. Make sure SNMP is enabled for the device as directed in its product documentation, then follow the instructions in Setting Access Credentials for Device Discovery to establish the connection between the device and AccelOps, and to initiate the device discovery process.
JDBC for Database Performance Monitoring – Oracle Database Server
To configure your Oracle Database Server for performance monitoring by AccelOps, you need to create a read-only user who has select permissions for the database. This is the user you will use to create the access credentials for AccelOps to communicate with your database server.
- Open the SQLPlus application.
- Log in with a system-level account.
Verify the permissions.
JDBC for Database Auditing – Oracle Database Server
- Enable auditing by modifying the Oracle instance initialization file init<SID>.ora.
This is typically located in $ORACLE_BASE/admin/<SID>/pfile where DIS is the Oracle instance
Configuring listener log and error log via SNARE – Oracle side
- Install and configure Epilog application to send syslog to AccelOps
- Download Epilog from Epilog download site and install it on your Windows Server.
- Launch Epilog from StartAll ProgramsInterSect AllianceEpilog for windows
- Configure Epilog application as follows
- Select Log Configuration on left hand panel, click Add button to add Oracle Listener log file to be sent to AccelOps. Also make sure the Log Type is OracleListenerLog.
- Click Add button to add Oracle Alert log file to be sent to AccelOps. Also make sure the Log Type is OracleAlertLog.
- After adding both the files, SNARE Log Configuration will show both the files included as follows
- Select Network Configuration on left hand panel. On the right, set the destination address to that of AccelOps server, port to 514 and make sure that syslog header is enabled. Then click Change Configuration button.
- Click the “Apply the latest audit configuration” link on the left hand side to apply the changes to Epilog applications.
You can now configure AccelOps to communicate with your device by following the instructions in Setting Access Credentials for Device Discovery, and then initiate discovery of the device as described in the topics in Discovering Infrastructure.
