Bulk creation of Oracle Table Space Monitors

orioncrack

Any way to do this?

I have many of these to configure and it would a nightmare if I had to do this manually.

Thanks

Here are some ideas for similar topic - hidden in NPM forum - Oracle database monitoring with Orion - doing it on an enterprise scale!

This ninja hack post is all well and good but its not a supported solution that we paid for, When I setup Oracle monitoring for another client using OpsLogix and SCOM it did ALL object Discovery for us and I could easily change and override anything easily. I entered a list of SIDs, provided credentials and I'm done. It discovered ALL table spaces which right now for my SolarWinds based client is a dream and cannot be done easily.

I had Oracle monitoring with SCOM working in 10 minutes, literally.

Doing the same with SolarWinds will take days...and the long term management of hundreds of table space monitors seems nightmarish as well.

Same complaint with bulk HTTP URL monitor creation and management. Nightmare.

Bingo, from your URL.

"Here's the problem when you use a single template all the time. Take a situation where you have a server running multiple Oracle databases - so you assign multiple application monitors to the node and you edit them to modify the SID and credentials. Now you've got multiple App monitors deployed to one server, all with the same name and you don't know which one is which. You can't tell from the App monitor name - only thing you can do is delve into each component and check. That's not easy to do on an enterprise scale with big consolidated databases servers."

EDIT - sounds he didn't rename his CMs so that would be a colossal mess. I named my table space monitors with the unique ts names.

But the premise of the manageability I was inferring is still correct. Not trying to pick fights here, just saying your product is a beast to manage compared to SCOM in so many respects. And the same can be said for SCOM. It goes both ways. They both suck in their own fun unique little ways.
