OVM Manager Jobs Test
A job is a set of one or more operations made in the Oracle VM Manager. This test monitors the jobs on the Oracle VM Manager and reports the number of jobs that were started, completed, successful, failed etc. The detailed diagnosis of the test enables administrators to perform further diagnosis on the failed and outstanding jobs.
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.
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 |
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:

Measurement | Description | Measurement Unit | Interpretation |
---|---|---|---|
Started jobs |
Indicates the number of jobs started in the Oracle VM Manager during the last measurement period. |
Number |
|
Completed jobs |
Indicates the number of jobs that were completed in the Oracle VM Manager during the last measurement period. |
Number |
|
Successful jobs |
Indicates the number of jobs that were completed successfully in the Oracle VM Manager during the last measurement period. |
Number |
A high value is desired for this measure. The detailed diagnosis of this measure if enabled, lists the jobs that succeeded. |
Failed jobs |
Indicates the number of jobs that failed in the Oracle VM Manager during the last measurement period. |
Number |
Ideally, this value should be low. A high value could warrant an investigation into the reason for the consistent failure of jobs. Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to view the jobs that failed. |
Percent of failures |
Indicates the percentage of jobs that failed in the Oracle VM Manager. |
Percent |
Ideally, this value should be low. A high value could warrant an investigation into the reason for the consistent failure of jobs. |
Avg completion time |
Indicates the average time taken to complete the jobs in the Oracle VM Manager. |
Seconds |
A low value is desired for this measure. A sudden/gradual increase in the value of this measure is a cause of concern. |
Max completion time |
Indicates the maximum time taken to complete the jobs in the Oracle VM Manager. |
Seconds |
|
Outstanding jobs |
Indicates the number of outstanding jobs in the Oracle VM Manager during the last measurement period. |
Number |
A large number of outstanding jobs could indicate a bottleneck. Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know which are the outstanding jobs. |
