IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Applications, Version 7.1
Agent-specific installation and configuration
In addition to the installation and configuration information
in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation
and Setup Guide,
use the agent-specific installation and configuration information
to install the Oracle Database Extended agent.
Agent-specific installation and configuration includes the following
procedures:
Granting privileges
After installing the agent, you must grant privileges to
the Oracle user account that is used by the Oracle Database Extended
agent.
Local configuration
On Windows, UNIX, and Linux systems, you can configure the Oracle Database Extended agent through
the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services tool
or the command line. You can also configure the agent silently on UNIX and Linux systems.
Remote installation and configuration
With IBM Tivoli Monitoring you
can deploy monitoring agents from a central location, which is the
monitoring server. You can also use the remote agent deployment function
to configure deployed agents and install maintenance on your agents.
Setting environment variables
You can set environment variables for the agent by using
a configuration file (on Windows, UNIX, and Linux systems) or using the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services tool
(on Windows systems).
Customizing Oracle alert log monitoring
The alert log workspaces are used to monitor the Oracle
messages from the Oracle alert log. You can customize the monitoring
setting to monitor the messages that you want, and set the severity
level for each message.
Defining and running customized SQL statements
The customized SQL feature provides the capability to define
and run your own SQL-based monitoring with the Oracle Database Extended agent.
Starting or stopping the agent
After you install and configure the Oracle Database Extended agent, you must
start the agent. You can use local or remote interfaces.
