In GC, although Monitoring Templates have different thresholds, those are only for recording purposes. So not only do you specify various metrics to be monitored but also to record that thresholds have been passed. When these thresholds are passed you'll see them on the Target's home page in GC, under Alerts. For Notification Rules, these are for setting ways you'll want to be notified on what you're monitoring. You could also go after the metadata directly to check for thresholds that have been passed historically across different targets. I've done this for custom reporting (such as all the times we've hit a certain ORA-00600 on a given RAC). At least that's my understanding and how I've been addressing these items for the past 2 acronyms (OEM and GC).

I am just learning Grid Control and trying to set it up now which brings up the next question. What is the difference between Preferences->Notification Rule and Setup->Monitoring Templates? In creating Monitoring templates, you have to select all the metric and also, while creating notification rule, you have to once again select the metrics. Getting confused at what is the difference between the two. ________________________________________ Date: Tue, 5 Jul 2011 13:11:00 -0300 Subject: Re: shared pool notifications From: cicciuxdba@xxxxxxxxx To: Freek.DHooge@xxxxxxxxx CC: pdba1966@xxxxxxxxxxx; oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx do you have grid control? Alan.- Is there a way to get notified that the shared pool is running out of memory before it actually occurs? We had a sudden unexpected spike of activity and the database was unable to allocate shared memory. This is a 10.2.0.4 database. We saw it in the alert log but only after it had run out. Just wondering what other people are doing as far as receiving notifications before it runs completely out. -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
