  • 1.  Getting the Agent ConnectionStatus on a other domain than Superdomain

    Posted Jan 19, 2012 09:24 AM
    Hello,

    I have a problem to make a Metric Grouping from Metrics "ConnectionStatus", my introscope user are one a domain different to the Superdomain.

    When I do "Investogator ==> Superdomain ==> Custom Metric Agent ==> My agent => Weblogic ==>ConnectionStatus ==> "New Metric Grouping" on Investigator, I don't have My management Module ( Just the Management modules in Superdomain ).



    Sorry for my bad English :happy

    I had a similar question I asked support. Basically I was looking to create an alert in my Domain MM for the ConnectionStatus for my jvm which was in the Superdomain only.
    Here is their response. It may help.

    The metrics are only available in Super Domain and cannot be copied into
    custom domain (they are already virtual metrics, and you cannot copy a
    virtual metric into another domain (which would most likely require putting
    the virtual metric inside another virtual metric)
    This kB suggests there may be limitations to using it anyway:


    https://comm.support.ca.com/?legacyid=TEC533820
    KBResultsScreen=T#(see Note)

    This is a better method which is known to work:
    Calculator Method
    Unlike ordinary Metrics, Calculators report zeros when the Metrics on which
    they are built are not reporting data. Therefore, you will create a
    Calculator on the {JVM}|GC Heap:Bytes Total metric. When this metric
    reports zero, it indicates the JVM instance is down; a value above zero
    indicates it is up. Your Alert will be based on this Calculator.

    To create the Calculator and associated Alert, follow these steps:
    Right-click {JVM}|GC Heap:Bytes Total and create a new Metric Grouping.
    Right-click the Bytes Total Metric Grouping and create a Calculator.
    Configure these settings in the Calculator:
    Give it a destination, such as JVM Monitoring:AppServer JVM.
    Check the Active box.
    Click Apply.

    A new metric, Custom Metric Process|Custom Metric Agent|JVM
    Monitoring|AppSer
    ver JVM, will appear in the top-level Metrics|Custom Metric Host node.
    Right-click this new Metric and create a Simple Alert.
    Configure the Alert as follows:
    Set the Comparison Operator to <.
    Set the Danger and Caution Thresholds to 1.
    Set Trigger Alert Notification to Whenever Severity Changes.
    Choose your Action(s).
    Click the Active checkbox.
    Click Apply.

    Asked CA Support for basically the same thing and then found this message thread. So the answer may have changed with 9.0.7 that you might be able to use a virtual agent to get the metrics across domains.


    "In discussing this with my colleagues:

    You can't cross-reference data between different custom domains i.e a
    dashboard in Domain A can only access agent metrics reported to same domain.
    However if customer is using 907 or later release than they can use Virtual
    Agents and especially "tgtDomain" feature to copy required metrics from
    "SuperDomain" to a different user defined domain, but keep in mind that
    this will add additional metrics to EM along with a performance hit
    depending on how much data needs to be copied over. Our Guides should have
    more details on how to configure this.
