An error code and error text can be parsed out of qualifying lines and an error level set. Or, you can search for su root failed to be notified of failed attempts at superuser access. Application process monitoring The Application Process Monitor provides a mechanism for monitoring the execution of a process or group of processes. Users can group OS level processes by application. Or you can monitor the number of running processes with the same name, and generate an alert if too many processes of that name are running.
Historical data is retained in named stores, which have user-specified time intervals and duration.
In setting up the monitor, the DBA specifies how frequently the collections of statistics need to be sampled, what the rules of the environment are, and what alarms need to be published, should these rules be exceeded. In response to these alerts or alarms, the DBA may require further information before taking appropriate action. Information is available from the global level right down to the detail session level. A special blocked process tree is made available graphically, in the event one process is blocking other processes from executing. Even the currently executed SQL code is available for review.
