Monitor options for the ASMInst agent
The ASMInst agent's monitoring mode has the following options:
Process check
Health check
The MonitorOption attribute of the ASMInst resource determines whether the agent performs basic monitoring in Process check or Health check mode.
Table: ASMInst monitoring options describes the ASMInst monitoring options.
Table: ASMInst monitoring options
Option | Description |
---|---|
0 (Default) | Process check The agent scans the process table for the ora_dbw0, ora_smon, ora_pmon, and ora_lgwr processes to verify that ASM instance is running. |
1 | Health check (supported on Oracle 10g and later) The agent uses the Health Check APIs from Oracle to monitor the SGA and retrieve the information about the instance. If you want to use the Oracle agent's intentional offline functionality, you must enable Health check monitoring. |
