OVM Manager Events Test

This test enables administrators to promptly capture and report the count and details of critical information, error, and warning events that are generated on the Oracle VM Manager.

Target of the test : Oracle VM Manager

Agent deploying the test : An internal/remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the Oracle VM Manager being monitored.

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter	Description
Test period	How often should the test be executed
Host	The host for which the test is to be configured.
Port	The port number at which the specified Host listens to. By default, this will be NULL.
Oracle VM Manager, Oracle VM Manager User, Oracle VM Manager Password, and Confirm Password	This test remotely connects to the Oracle VM Manager that manages the monitored Oracle VM Server and uses the web services API of the Oracle VM Manager to pull out metrics of interest. To enable this test to communicate with the web services API, you first need to configure the test with the IP address or host name of the Oracle VM Manager. This can be done using the Oracle VM Manager text box. Then, you need to configure the test with the credentials of a user with Admin rights to the Oracle VM Manager. Use the Oracle VM Manager User and Oracle VM Manager Password parameters to configure these credentials. Finally, confirm the password by retyping it in the Confirm Password text box.
SSL	By default, the Oracle VM Manager is SSL-enabled. Accordingly, the ssl flag is set to Yes by default. This indicates that the eG agent will communicate with the Oracle VM Manager via HTTPS by default.
WebPort	By default,, the Oracle VM Manager listens on 7002. This implies that while monitoring an Oracle VM server via an SSL-enabled Oracle VM Manager, the eG agent, by default, connects to port 7002 of the Oracle VM Manager to pull out metrics. In some environments however, this default port may not apply. In such a case, against the WebPort parameter, you can specify the exact port at which the Oracle VM Manager in your environment listens so that the eG agent communicates with that port.
DD Frequency	Refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD frequency.
Detailed Diagnosis	To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option. The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled: The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

Measurements made by the test
Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Information	Indicates the number of information events that occurred on the Oracle VM Manager during the last measurement period.	Number	A change in the value of this measure may indicate infrequent but successful operations performed by one or more events. Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure for more details on the information events.
Warnings	Indicates the number of warning events that occurred on the Oracle VM Manager during the last measurement period.	Number	A high value of this measure indicates application problems that may not have an immediate impact, but may cause future problems in one or more events. Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure for more details on the warning events.
Critical events	Indicates the number of critical events that occurred on the Oracle VM Manager during the last measurement period.	Number	A value (zero) indicates that the Oracle VM Manager is in a healthy state and is running smoothly without any potential problems. An increasing trend or high value indicates the existence of problems like loss of functionality or data in one or more events. Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure for more details on the critical events.
Unknowns	Indicates the number of unknown events that occurred on the Oracle VM Manager during the last measurement period.	Number
