Routine maintenance

[srinu kaviti]

​Hello Guys,
I am new to UIM and still learning, Thanks to all of your valuable suggestions.

I am looking for
1.Things that we need to check daily as part of the UIM daily maintenance and support.
2.What need to check when an robot or hub probe is updated with new hotfix or version.

Thanks,

think the idea is to have it setup for self monitoring so all you need to do is just check for new alarms.

For #2 you can look at following on a given robot:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\robot\pkg\versions.txt

Every morning we check: 
- Is there any queuing on all my hubs (can be done with: https://community.broadcom.com/enterprisesoftware/viewdocument/queuecheck-lua-script-v22?CommunityKey=170eb4e5-a593-4af2-ad1d-f7655e31513b&tab=librarydocuments)
- Is there enough disk space on all my UIM servers (done via cdm probe)
- check sql response time and alert when > xx ms (done via small sql query in sql_response probe)
- check if # daily alerts is not > xxx (where xxx is your normal number + 20%)  So you can trap an unseen alarm loop/storm (via sql_response)
- check the # of qos entries and create alarm if > xxx (this would warn you if a custom probe or snmpcollector has some wrong setup) (via sql_response)
- check if my daily data_engine maintenance is running fine (via logmon probe on data_engine.log)
Most of these checks are done via Listviews with some colored markers to indicate possible problems
