Oracle GoldenGate Fundamentals Student Guide Managing: Monitoring Lag Source Database Manager Manager Primary Extract Data Pump Trail Network (TCP/IP) Server Collector Trail Target Database Replicat Pump lag Replicat lag “end-to-end” latency Target Commit Timestamp System Time Write to Trail Extract lag System Time Write to Trail Source Commit Timestamp Trans Log Definitions: Lag This is the Extract lag or Pump lag in the diagram It is the difference in time between when a change record was processed by Extract (written to the trail) and the timestamp of that record in the data source Latency This is the Replicat lag in the diagram It is the difference in time between when a change is made to source data and when that change is reflected in the target data 231 Managing: Monitoring Lag (cont’d) Can set Manager parameters for: LAGREPORT Frequency to check for lags LAGREPORTMINUTES LAGREPORTHOURS LAGINFO Frequency to report lags to the error log LAGINFOSECONDS LAGINFOMINUTES LAGINFOHOURS LAGCRITICAL Set lag threshold to force a warning message to the error log LAGCRITICALSECONDS LAGCRITICALMINUTES LAGCRITICALHOURS LAGREPORT Manager parameter, LAGREPORTMINUTES or LAGREPORTHOURS, used to specify the interval at which Manager checks for Extract and Replicat lag The syntax is: LAGREPORTMINUTES | LAGREPORTHOURS The frequency, in minutes, to check for lag The frequency, in hours, to check for lag Example LAGREPORTHOURS LAGINFO Manager parameter, LAGINFOSECONDS, LAGINFOMINUTES, or LAGINFOHOURS, used to specify how often to report lag information to the error log A value of zero (0) forces a message at the frequency specified with the LAGREPORTMINUTES or LAGREPORTHOURS parameter If the lag is greater than the value specified with the LAGCRITICAL parameter, Manager reports the lag as critical; otherwise, it reports the lag as an informational message The syntax is: LAGINFOSECONDS | LAGINFOMINUTES | LAGINFOHOURS The frequency, in seconds, to report lag information The frequency, in minutes, to report lag information The frequency, in hours, to report lag information Example LAGINFOHOURS Oracle GoldenGate Fundamentals Student Guide LAGCRITICAL Manager parameter, LAGCRITICALSECONDS, LAGCRITICALMINUTES, or LAGCRITICALHOURS, used to specify a lag threshold that is considered critical and to force a warning message to the error log when the threshold is reached This parameter affects Extract and Replicat processes on the local system The syntax is: LAGCRITICALSECONDS | LAGCRITICALMINUTES | LAGCRITICALHOURS Lag threshold, in seconds Lag threshold, in minutes Lag threshold, in hours Example LAGCRITICALSECONDS 60 Managing: Monitoring - Setting Email Alerts in Director Within Director, you can configure email alerts: when specific messages appear in the GoldenGate error log when a specific lag threshold has been exceeded Email Alerts Director Client can be configured to send automatic email alerts to operators or email distribution groups for: MESSAGE ALERTS sends emails when any particular error message is generated LATENCY ALERTS sends emails when latency thresholds that have been exceeded LAG Charts can be displayed to show history of average latency over a period of time What is a System Alert? A System Alert is a filter you set up in Director on event type and/or text or checkpoint lag for a particular process or group of processes If the criteria established in the Alert match, an audible warning can be triggered, or an email may be sent to one or more recipients Setting up a System Alert 233 Using the System Alert Setup page, choose to enter a new Alert, or change an existing one, by selecting from the Select an Alert dropdown list When the desired Alert is displayed, complete the following fields: Alert Name This is a friendly name that you will use to refer to the Alert, it can be anything up to 50 characters Alert Type Choose between the following options, note that some fields on the page will change, depending upon what you select here Process Lag This alert type allows you to specify a threshold for checkpoint lag, should lag go over the threshold, notifications will be generated Event Text This alert type allows you to specify event type or text, if the event matches, notifications will be generated Instance Name Choose a specific Manager Instance to apply the Alert criteria to, or you may make the Alert global to all instances Process Name Type the process name to apply the criteria to You may use a wildcard (*) here to make partial matches, for example: '*' - would match all process names 'EXT*' - would match processes beginning with 'EXT' '*SF*' - would match all processes with 'SF' anywhere in the name Criteria When Lag goes above This field is displayed when you select a Process Lag Alert type Enter the desired Lag Threshold here When Event Type is This field is displayed when you select an Event Text Alert type Select the event types (ERROR, WARNING) to match here When Event Text contains This field is displayed when you select an Event Text Alert type Enter the text to match, leave blank or enter '*' to match any text Action Send eMail to Enter a comma-separated list of email addresses Oracle GoldenGate Fundamentals Student Guide Troubleshooting Troubleshooting -
