How to install and configure the Monitoring Oracle database agent connected to Monitoring 8

Body

In this blog I will show how to install and configure Oracle agent delivered in APM agents 8.1.3 bundle. On below page you can find detailed information related to agent configuration:

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSHLNR_8.1.3/com.ibm.pm.doc/install/oracle_config_agent.htm

 

After moving ipm_monitoring_agents_win_8.1.3.zip to my Oracle 11g server I had to Extract the content. I have extracted files under C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\ipm_monitoring_agents_win_8.1.3\APM_Agent_Install_8.1.3 and start installation using installAPMAgents.bat

 

 

C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\ipm_monitoring_agents_win_8.1.3\APM_Agent_Install_8.1.3>installAPMAgents.bat
The following products are available for installation:

    1) Monitoring Agent for Windows OS
    2) Monitoring Agent for MySQL
    3) Response Time Monitoring Agent
    4) Monitoring Agent for Oracle Database
    5) Monitoring Agent for WebLogic
    6) Monitoring Agent for VMware VI
    7) Monitoring Agent for DB2
    8) Monitoring Agent for WebSphere Applications
    9) Monitoring Agent for Cisco UCS
    10) Monitoring Agent for Microsoft Hyper-V Server
    11) Monitoring Agent for Microsoft IIS
    12) Monitoring Agent for Microsoft SQL Server
    13) Monitoring Agent for Active Directory
    14) Monitoring Agent for Microsoft .NET
    15) Monitoring Agent for Microsoft Exchange Server
    16) Monitoring Agent for Microsoft Cluster Server
    17) Monitoring Agent for MS SharePoint Server
    18) Monitoring Agent for Microsoft Lync Server
    19) all of the above

Type the numbers that correspond to the products that you want to install. Type"q" to quit selection.
If you enter more than one number, separate the numbers by a space or comma.

Type your selections here (For example: 1,2): 4

The following agents will be installed:

    Monitoring Agent for Oracle Database

Are your selections correct [ 1-Yes, 2-No; default is "1" ]? 1

Specify the installation directory. [Default is C:\IBM\APM] :

The agents will be in installed in C:\IBM\APM.

Do you accept the license agreement(s) found in the directory C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\ipm_monitoring_agents_win_8.1.3\APM_Agent_Install_8.1.3\licenses?


Please enter [ 1-to accept the agreement, 2-to decline the agreement ] : 1

User has accepted the license agreement(s).

    Monitoring Agent for Oracle Database will be installed.

Agent installation completed. Configure the agent with the  'oracle_database-agent.bat config' command.
End running cmd /c "C:\IBM\APM\logs\install_agent_RZ.bat"

The following agents were installed successfully into the C:\IBM\APM directory:

Monitoring Agent for Oracle Database

    Agent instance status:
    No instances


The installation log file is C:\IBM\APM\logs\IM_Agents_install.log.

To configure your agents, use the following detailed instructions:

For Performance Management on Cloud:
http://ibm.biz/kc-ipmcloud-configagent

For Performance Management (on premises):
http://ibm.biz/kc-ipm-configagent

As part of the configuration instructions, you will use the following commands to configure and manage each installed agent:
  Monitoring Agent for Oracle Database  C:\IBM\APM\bin\oracle_database-agent.bat config or start or stop or status or uninstall

C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\ipm_monitoring_agents_win_8.1.3\APM_Agent_Install_8.1.3>

 

 

When agent is installed you must configure via CLI or IBM Performance Management window. Before I started agent configuration I created Oracle user which will agent use to connect to Oracle database. I created user using sqlplus commands:

C:\IBM\APM\TMAITM6_x64>sqlplus sys/tems1234@orcl as sysdba

SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.1.0 Production on Let Mar 23 09:09:09 2017

Connected to:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options

SQL> CREATE USER gregor IDENTIFIED BY tems1234;

SQL> GRANT CONNECT TO gregor;

 

After that I created agent instance form Template:

I named my instance orcl:

After configuration you must grant needed permissions to user using krzgrant.sql script. On below link you can find official documentation:
