Store metric to CODA (OMU 9.10)

[sperr0w]

Hi!

I cant find answer anywhre here.

I have shell script, that monitor  directory content coutn ( ls -l | ws -l)

I need to save this value in coda.

So, in measurement threshold policy set:

Do I need do made something else?

May be I need to create this Metric on CODA before I create policy?

Now this is not work.

Hi,

did you send your value back to the policy with the opcmon command?

Command Syntax to submit monitored values:

opcmon <parameterlist>

Parameter              Value                                                              Required

monitor_name=     name of monitor to deliver value to      yes

object=                     component which caused/detected       no
                                    or was affected by the problem 

-option <var>=       additional parameter of any kind           no
                                    supplying a value;  may be given
                                    multiple times 

you can look also in a powerpoint presentation:

Here is the listing of my script:

#cat getdircontentcount.sh
#!/bin/sh
FILESCOUNT=`ls $1 | wc -l`
opcmon $2=$FILESCOUNT

in policy I use: getdircontentcount.sh <directory> <policy>

So? I think? script works fine.

Any suggestion?

I just need some way to collect custom metric in any of OA database ( CODA or PA nevermind). Also I need to see this metric usint Performance manager.

Hi,

for me, i miss in the last row in your script, the opcmon command with policyname.

In your excample: opcmon TestCollectMetric=$FILESCOUNT

Look in the presentation slide 9 or 15

Tipp: you can look at the in the database with the command: ovcodautil -dumpdcoda or ovcodautil -dumpds [Datasource]

I find solution.

It is not possible to store custom metric in CODA.

So, right way is to  set Data Source not CODA, but custom element.

After this, all works fine.
