OVM Manager Status Test

This test tracks the status of the Oracle VM Manager and reports whether it is running or not.

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.

Description

Measurement Unit

Interpretation

Server status

Indicates the current status of the Oracle VM Manager.

The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are discussed in the table below:

Measure Value	Numeric Value
Stopped	0
Running	1
Starting	2
Stopping	3

Note:

By default, this measure reports one of the values listed under Measure Values to indicate the current status of an Oracle VM Manager. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the numeric equivalents only.
