•
Consistent Gets — The number of accesses made to the block buffer to retrieve data in
a consistent mode.
•
Physical Reads — The cumulative number of blocks read from disk.
•
Buffer Cache Hit Ratio — The rate at which the database goes to the buffer instead of
the hard disk to retrieve data. A low ratio suggests more RAM should be added to the
system.

C.9.5. Oracle::Client Connectivity
The Oracle::Client Connectivity probe determines if the database is up and capable of
receiving connections from the monitored system. This probe opens an
rhnmd
connection
to the system and issues a
sqlplus connect
command on the monitored system.
The Expected DB name parameter is the expected value of
V$DATABASE.NAME
. This
value is case-insensitive. A CRITICAL status is returned if this value is not found.
Requirements — The Red Hat Network Monitoring Daemon (
rhnmd
) must be running on
the monitored system to execute this probe. For this probe to run, the nocpulse user
must be granted read access to your log files.
