Tibero Database File Status Test

This test reports the status of each datafile in each database of a Tibero Database instance and the current access mode of every datafile.

Target of the test : A Tibero Database server

Agent deploying the test :An internal agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for every datafile on the target database server.

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 to which the specified host listens. By default, the port number is 8629.

User and Password

In order to monitor a Tibero database server, a special database user account has to be created in every Tibero database instance that requires monitoring. A Click here hyperlink is available in the test configuration page, using which a new Tibero database user can be created. Alternatively, you can manually create the special database user. When doing so, ensure that this user is vested with the select any dictionary and create session privileges.

The sample script we recommend for user creation for eG monitoring is:

create user tibeg identified by tibeg default tablespace <users> temporary tablespace<temp>;

grant create session, select any dictionary tibeg;

The name of this user has to be specified in the User text box, and the password of this user has to be entered in the Password text box. This login information is required to query Tibero's internal dynamic views, so as to fetch the current status / health of the various database components.

Confirm Password

Confirm the Password by retyping it here.

Tibero SID

Specify the SID of the target Tibero database instance that is to be monitored in this text box.
Measurements made by the test
Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation

File status

Indicates the current status of this datafile.

Number

The table below indicates the values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric equivalents:

Measure value Numeric Value
System 1
Online 2
Recover 3
Unknown 4

If a datafile is part of the SYSTEM tablespace, its status is SYSTEM (unless it requires recovery). If a datafile in a non-SYSTEM tablespace is online, its status is ONLINE. If a datafile in a non-SYSTEM tablespace is offline, its status can be either OFFLINE or RECOVER.

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the current status of a datafile. However, in the graph of this measure, data file states will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents only - i.e., 1 to 4.

File access mode

Indicates the current access mode of this datafile.

 

The table below indicates the values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric equivalents:

State Numeric Value
Disabled 0
Read Only 1
Read Write 2
Unknown 3

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned States while indicating the mode through which this data file can be accessed. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents i.e., 0 to 3.
