Sending ProWatch Data When Alarms
Occur
Major alarms include things like an I/O card not coming up or a server failing to
connect. All major alarms can negatively affect the data center’s I/O. If you use
ProWatch to send information about alarms to Oracle, be aware of the following:
■ If a major alarm is cleared within five minutes of being raised, no report is sent.
■ If multiple major alarms are raised within five minutes, only one report
containing all the alarms is sent.
If you want to send reports only when major alarms occur, set the -frequency
option to alarms_only. If you want to send both periodic reports and reports when
alarms occur, set the -frequency option to the desired period: daily, weekly, or
monthly. Then use the -send_alarms=true option to also send reports when
major alarms occur.
