Parameters and configuration

Parameters

--conf Path to configuration file
--target_databases Path to the configuration file that contains the database targets
--target_agents Path to the configuration file that contains the agent targets
--custom_queries Path to the configuration file containing the custom queries

Configuration file (--conf)

 

agents_group_id = < ID of the group in which the agents will be created >
interval = < Agent monitoring interval in seconds >
user = <Connection user>
password = <Password>
threads = < Number of threads that will be used to create agents >
modules_prefix = <Modules Prefix>
execute_custom_queries = < Enable with 1 to enable the use of custom queries >
analyze_connections = < Enable with 1 to enable connection monitoring >
engine_uptime = <Enable with 1 to enable runtime monitoring>
query_stats = < Enable with 1 to enable query statistics monitoring >
fragmentation_ratio = < Enable with 1 to enable fragmentation ratio statistics monitoring >
cache_stats = < Enable with 1 to enable cache statistics monitoring >

Example

agents_group_id = 10
interval = 300
user = sa 
password = HHgD85V@
threads = 1
modules_prefix = 
execute_custom_queries = 1
analyze_connections = 1
engine_uptime = 1
query_stats = 1
fragmentation_ratio = 1
cache_stats = 1

List of target databases (--target_databases)

The content of the file will be a list of target databases, separating each database by commas or lines. The format for a database may be any of the following:

ip:port/port\databases

Example

 

172.17.0.3:5432\postgres

List of target agents (--target_agents)

The content of the file will be a list of agent name bases, separating each agent by commas or lines. These agent names will be used to dump the information from each target database into the corresponding indicated agent name, rather than letting the plugin generate the agent names automatically.
 
The position of each agent name in the listing must match the position of the target database in its own listing, that is, the name for the first target database will be the first name in this listing, taking into account that blank lines are ignored.

Example

agente1,,agente3
agente4
agente5,agente6,agente7,,agente9

Custom queries (--custom_queries)

A module must be introduced for each personalized query that is intended to be monitored. The modules must follow a structure, which is the following:

check_begin --> Module opening label
name --> Module name
description --> Description of the module.
operation --> Operation type
datatype --> Module type
min_warning --> Configuration of the minimum warning threshold
max_warning --> Configuration of the maximum warning threshold
str_warning --> Warning string configuration
warning_inverse --> Activate the inverse interval with 1 for warning threshold
min_critical --> Setting the minimum critical threshold
max_critical --> Setting the maximum critical threshold
str_critical --> Critical string configuration
critical_inverse --> Activate inverse interval with 1 for critical threshold
module_interval --> This interval is calculated as a multiplier of the agent interval.
target --> Custom query
target_databases --> Database agents in which the module will be created
check_end --> Module closing tag

Example

check_begin
name Select 1
description Number of invalid objects
operation value
datatype generic_data
min_warning 5
target SELECT 1 FROM dual
target_databases all
check_end

check_begin
name NumeroConexiones
description Number of connections
operation value
datatype generic_data
min_warning 5
target SELECT COUNT(*) AS NumeroConexiones FROM v$session;
target_databases pandora
check_end

check_begin
name NumeroRegistros.files_table
description Invalid objects (detail)
operation full
datatype generic_data
target SELECT COUNT(*) AS NumeroRegistros FROM files;
target_databases pandora
check_end
