How to setup the Monitoring for Golden Gate Processes

                               In this post I will run you thru the process on how to setup monitoring for your 

                  golden-gate processes. I am sure you will find it helpful as I didn't come across

                  any sites providing that info with details so I thought it will be useful for some...

      i.                                  

                                            To setup monitoring first you need to setup the Data source using GG Director GDSC Admin console.

Open the director console and enter username and password as follows

            User name – admin         

            Password – admin          

            Server – <IP of GG Director>:7001

This assumes you are using the default port of 7001 for the GG Director

                                  Go to Data Sources Tab and enter the information in the RHS pane as follows.

Note – You need to two data sources here, one for source and one for destination.

            Add another data source and add the information as follows.

                        Once both the data sources are added successfully, you need to close the admin tool.

Open the GG Director console and enter the username, password and server information once again.

                        Once in, open the new diagram from File menu.

Click on Actions à Add data source à [Name of the source data source]

                        Click on Actions à Add data source à [Name of the destination data source]

Once done , you can see both the data sources on the diagram

                        You can see all the processes and their relative components stacked on each other as follows.

            Hence you need to organize them properly as shown in the next slide.

            

            

      

            You can see now that all the extract and replicat processes running on those particular hosts.

Here bc01_XXX processes are for Production and bc_XXX processes are UAT environment.

                         To setup the monitoring, you need to look at the second half of the pane.

Click on My Alerts tab. This will show you the list of option you can configure for you respective data source.

Check each option and fill in the information as per your requirements. (Check following slides for more information)

Once done close the diagram before exiting the Admin console

Enter the corresponding values as displayed in screen

select the specific event type as per your requirements. you can also define your custom email handler if you do not wish to use the default one.

That't it. You have now successfully configured the monitoring for your existing extracts, replicats in your golden gate environment.

To test the functionality stop any of the processes and wait for the 1-2 minutes to see if you receive the notification or not. If you still not the get the notification and alert is generated check the configuration of your mail server.
