Background/History

HP OpenView implemented in 1994Dedicated a great deal of effort to include Progress and QAD in our

monitoring/managementVersions not kept current (budget constraints) to support our Linux environment

QAD Implementation

Contracted QAD Services.“Canned” product, virtual Linux server (recover image and change IP), Icinga and

Cacti for alerting and graphing.“Base” configuration file created. Deployment simplified, copy base and change

host info.Scripts built for deploying:- Database monitors based on our “/node/info/databases” file (list of databases per

host with environment, used for many purposes including start-up).- Disk statistics.- Graphs too.

Our Environment

Centralized 2010SE Host (co-lo in NC)Supporting 30 sites from Canada to Mexico

Distribution Site Linux eB2 (our facility in OH)

Brazil Site Linux 2007

Our Monitoring Environment

Each host has a system “control” file containing all databases and environments

This allows easy scripting of status checks, up/down, and query from other applications and scripts to invoke

This file allowed us to automate our monitoring implementation

Site Monitoring

Ping a host in each supported siteGood method of determining how a site sees performance

Scripts for Automation of Monitoring Services

./build_server_cfg.sh [remote host] [DLC]Builds a file with the Icinga components for Progress database monitors based on the control file. This generated file gets inserted into the host’s configuration file in Icinga.

Creates Icinga monitors for DB check, extents, log entries, last backup, buffer hits, read rates, and locks

./build_server_graph.sh [remote host] [DLC]Queries for host ID, then creates Cacti graphs for each database in the control file

./build_server_disk.sh [remote host]Ran a “df” on the remote host, builds Icinga space monitor for each local disk, insert into host’s configuration file.

Script to Build Configuration File

copy the template to [servername]-server.cfgcp fnst-server.cfg.template [servername]-server.cfgfind and replace ral2lnxqad with the server nameedit the host IPcorrect the webspeed entriescorrect DLC if neededbuild the databases section:./build_server_cfg.sh [remote host] [DLC]

Present State

All Linux hosts monitored (ping, OS)All sites monitored (ping to a host in all sites)All Linux QAD hosts monitored (Progress databases, NetUI performance)

Agenda

Benefits Realized

Network issues identified“stair step” graph noticed, turns out cable disconnect at site

Qxtend performance issueAlert on CPU utilization, worked w/ EA Team

Cache Hit RateAlert, increased “Big B”

DB Writes/MinWorked w/ ERP Team, identified code that was not “domainized”

Agenda

Future Direction

Regular internal review.Regular review with ERP Team.Review what else would benefit us.Remote point(s) for monitoring. NetUI testing for one.

With the implementation of Vmware in remote sites we may just deploy VMInclude HPUX (retire OpenView).Visibility to others outside the Server Team.Migrate additional legacy performance and monitoring scriptsReview how to play with SCOM

Site Overview

We included (at least) one host in each of the sites accessing our central QAD servers

This gives us up/down and response times by site, assisting in troubleshooting issues
