C
Interpreting Variables of the Oracle Names MIB

This appendix provides information to help you interpret the variables of the private Oracle Names MIB which are implemented in this release. Specifically, it includes sections covering SNMP variables in the following tables:

For more information about the Oracle Names product, refer to the Oracle Net Services Administrator's Guide. For a listing of all variables in the Oracle Names MIB, including those not implemented in this release, see the MIB itself.

oraNamesTNSTable

The oraTNSTable contains variables which could be common to all applications running on Oracle Net. Oracle Net is Oracle's remote data access software that enables both client/server and server/server communications across any network. Monitoring these variables is useful in order to obtain basic (mostly static) information about the Oracle Names application.

Each entry in the oraNamesTNSTable represents a given active Oracle Net application located on the managed node. (In this case, that application is Oracle Names.) Each entry is indexed by applIndex. (For details about applIndex, see Appendix E, "Interpreting Implemented Variables of the Network Services MIB") The current value of each oraNamesTNSTable variable is retrieved from an internal table or from a corresponding field in the NAMES.ORA configuration file on the managed node.

Appendix C-1 lists each of these variables and its corresponding object ID.

oraNamesConfigTable

The oraNamesConfigTable contains information on those Oracle Names server configuration parameters that are not included in the oraNamesTNSTable. Monitoring this information is important in order to characterize the operation of the Oracle Names server.

Each entry in the oraNamesConfigTable represents a given active Oracle Net application on the node. Each entry is indexed by applIndex. (For details about applIndex, see Appendix E, "Interpreting Implemented Variables of the Network Services MIB") The current value of each oraNamesConfigTable variable is retrieved directly from a corresponding field in the NAMES.ORA configuration file on the managed node.

Table C-2 lists each of the variables implemented in this release, together with its corresponding object ID.

Suggested Presentation

simple string

oraNamesConfigAuthorityRequired

Syntax

TruthValue

Max-Access

read-write

Explanation

TRUE indicates that this server requires an authoritative answer to system query requests that it generates. FALSE results in faster, but less reliable answers to the server's inquiries. Requests with Authority Required cannot be answered by a non-authoritative server out of its cache.

Typical Range

true/false

oraNamesConfigAutoRefreshExpire

Syntax

TimeTicks

Max-Access

read-write

Explanation

A running Oracle Names server periodically checks its network definition to see if it has been updated. If a check fails, the Oracle Names server retries for the period of time set in AutoRefreshExpire. In this case, the server continues operation using its current network definition, until it finds it needs to update. The default is 72 hours.

oraNamesConfigAutoRefreshRetry

Syntax

TimeTicks

Max-Access

read-write

Explanation

A running Oracle Names server periodically checks its network definition to see if it has been updated. If a check fails, the Oracle Names server retries with the frequency set in AutoRefreshRetry. In this case, the server continues operation using its current network definition, until it finds it needs to update. The default is three minutes.

oraNamesConfigCacheCheckpointFile

Syntax

DisplayString

Max-Access

read-write

Explanation

The Oracle Names server periodically writes its cache to disk and then reads the cache on startup. The value of oraNamesConfigCacheCheckpointFile is the filename of the file to which this cache is written. Any data in this file which is still valid (positive time to live) is retained when the new server is started up.

Typical Range

any legal filename

Significance

Related Variables

none

Suggested Presentation

simple string

oraNamesConfigCacheCheckpointInterval

Syntax

TimeTicks

Max-Access

read-write

Explanation

Indicates the amount of time between cache checkpoints. If the value of oraNamesConfigCacheCheckpointInterval is greater than 0, the server writes its cache at the specified frequency. When the server is started again, any foreign data in the cache which is still valid (positive time to live) will be retained. If set to 0 (the default), then checkpointing is disabled, and any foreign data is lost when the server is stopped.

Typical Range

0 - 3 days

Significance

less important

Related Variables

oraNamesConfigCacheCheckpointFile, oraNamesTNSParameterFile

Suggested Presentation

simple string

oraNamesConfigDefaultForwardersOnly

Syntax

TruthValue

Max-Access

read-write

Explanation

TRUE indicates that this server is to operate in DEFAULT-FORWARDERS-ONLY mode. A server in this mode must have at least one default forwarder. The server then operates in slave mode, forwarding all foreign requests to at least one default forwarder, whether or not it has server information that might be more accurate. This feature provides for administrative optimization, by presuming that a high percentage of foreign requests are for names in the vicinity of the DefaultForwarders.

FALSE indicates that the server operates normally, that is, foreign requests are passed to subdomain servers if the name should reside there, or to the root.

Typical Range

true/false

Significance

less important

Related Variables

oraNamesConfigDefaultForwarders, oraNamesTNSParameterFile

Suggested Presentation

simple string

oraNamesConfigForwardingAvailable

Syntax

TruthValue

Max-Access

read-write

Explanation

Servers that do not forward will not handle the request for clients, but may refer them to other regions. Referral is only possible when the requestor is another names server; regular clients cannot handle referrals. Servers that do not forward cut their work in half (at the exepense of the requestor) by "staying out of the middle." FALSE is the default, and is only intended for regions which have no domain data, typically the root domain. TRUE indicates that this server is willing to forward requests for data for which it is not authoritative.

Typical Range

true/false

Significance

important

Related Variables

oraNamesTNSParameterFile

Suggested Presentation

simple string

oraNamesConfigForwardingDesired

Syntax

TruthValue

Max-Access

read-write

Explanation

TRUE indicates that this server desires other servers to forward requests which this server generates on its own. Requests which this server forwards have Forwarding Desired set by the original requestor. This server can reduce its load by a factor of the number of hops to an authoritative server if the intermediate servers are willing to forward the request, rather than refer the requestor to the next-nearest server.

Typical Range

true/false

Significance

less important

Related Variables

oraNamesTNSParameterFile

Suggested Presentation

simple string

oraNamesConfigLogStatsInterval

Syntax

TimeTicks

Max-Access

read-write

Explanation

Indicates the interval (in centiseconds) at which server statistic counters (a subset of Oracle Names MIB variables) are written to the log file. The default is 0, indicating that no variables are logged.

Typical Range

0 - 1 day

Significance

less important

Related Variables

oraNamesTNSLogFile, oraNamesTNSParameterFile

Suggested Presentation

simple string

oraNamesConfigMaxReforwards

Syntax

Integer32

Max-Access

read-write

Explanation

The server keeps a count of the number of times a given forwarded query returns with a referral to a closer name server. When the number of referrals exceeds oraNamesConfigMaxReforwards, the query is cancelled and an error is returned to the requestor. Higher settings make the server more persistent in resolving failed queries; lower settings will save the server time and reduce traffic (probably trivial).

Typical Range

1 - 15

Significance

less important

Related Variables

oraNamesTNSParameterFile

Suggested Presentation

simple string

oraNamesConfigNoModifyRequests

Syntax

TruthValue

Max-Access

read-write

Explanation

When this value is set "ON", the server refuses any requests to modify its region data.

Typical Range

true or false

Significance

Less important. Not relevant to version 2.2 of Oracle Names. When insert, update, and delete support are added in subsequent versions, this variable will enable and disable the modification of region data.

Related Variables

oraTNSParameterFile

Suggested Presentation

simple string

oraNamesConfigResetStatsInterval

Syntax

TimeTicks

Max-Access

read-write

Explanation

Indicates the interval (in centiseconds) at which all server statistic counters are reset back to zero. This parameter enables administrators to automatically reset all MIB statistics at a specified frequency without disrupting the operation of the server. If set to 0, statistics are never reset.

Typical Range

0 or 10 - 4294967295 centiseconds

oraNamesServerTable

The oraNamesServerTable contains variables which describe the current operational status of the Oracle Names server. Monitoring these measures is important to ensure that the server is up and fully functional.

Each entry in the oraNamesServerTable represents a given active Oracle Name Resolution Server on the node. Each entry is indexed by applIndex. (For details about applIndex, see Appendix E, "Interpreting Implemented Variables of the Network Services MIB.") The current value of each oraNamesServerTable variable is retrieved from internal tables of this Oracle Names server.

Table C-3 lists each of the variables implemented in this release, together with its corresponding object ID.
