Monitoring Oracle standby databases in Applications Manager

  1. Do we support Oracle Standby Database monitoring?
    1.  Yes, we do.

  2. How to connect to the Standby/Standalone Oracle database which is in MOUNTED mode?
    1. To connect to an Oracle database in STANDBY MOUNTED or normal MOUNTED mode, you must use the sysdba user (Ref Oracle doc).
    2. Note that some metrics will not be available because certain views cannot be queried when the database is in mounted state.
    3. How to check the database mode?
      1. Connect the Oracle DB and execute the following query.

      2.  select OPEN_MODE from v$database

  3.   Which metrics will not be monitored if the database is in MOUNTED mode?
    1. The following metrics will not be monitored for a MOUNTED database since some views can't be executed in MOUNTED database :
      • Overview Tab: Tablespaces with least free bytes, Database Status, Database Size, Free Space, Invalid/Unusable Index Count, Oracle DB Links, Invalid Objects, Invalid/Unusable Indexes.
      • Tablespace Tab: Tablespace Details, Tablespace Status, Performance of Data Files, Objects Approaching MAX Extents.
      • Session Tab: Users.
      • Rollback & Corrupted Blocks Tab: Rollback Segment, Blocks Corrupted.
      • Lock Tab: Sessions under lock/Session holding locks, Sessions waiting for a lock, Lock Statistics.
      • Jobs & Backup Tab: Scheduled Jobs Details, Running Backup Jobs Count.
