5 op5 Oracle Extension 1 op5 Oracle Extension Introduction This document is intended for the System administrator that has the operational responsibility for the op5 system. You are expected to have good knowledge and understanding of computers and Oracle database managment tools. This manual shows how to setup database connections from op5 Monitor to a Oracle database backend under Solaris and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This manual only covers installation of Oracle extension for op5 Monitor, for further information please consult op5 Monitor User manual and op5 Monitor Administration manual found on

6 2 op5 Oracle Extension Oracle database configuration Oracle database configuration First we need to setup the database schema in Oracle database server before configuring op5 Monitor. These should be provided to you with the product. Database schemas Two databases should be created, merlin and nacoma. The merlin database will be used to store status information for the monitored objects. The nacoma database is used while changes to the monitored objects are beeing made. These database schemas should have been provided with the delivery this product. To create the required databases, the following schemas should be used: merlin database: merlin_seq-<version>.sql ninja_seq-<version>.sql Default dbuser/password included: merlin/merlin (edit file to change this) nacoma database: nacoma-<version>.sql nacoma_roles-<version>.sql Default dbuser/password included: nacoma/nacoma (edit file to change this). Merlin database setup To setup the merlin database follow the steps below: Create a listner Create a listener using the Oracle tool 'Net Configuration Assistant'. Suggested parameters: Name: merlin Protocol: TCP Port: 1521 Create the database Create a database named 'merlin' using the Oracle tool: 'Database configuration

Setup the database Start sqlplus from the dir where the sql scripts are located. sqlplus merlin (Username: system, Password: ****) Execute the two merlin sql scripts Nacoma database setup To setup the nacoma database follow the steps below: Create a listener Create a listener using the Oracle tool 'Net Configuration Assistant'. Suggested parameters: Name: nacoma Protocol: TCP Port: 1521 Create the database Create a database named 'nacoma' using the Oracle tool: 'Database configuration assistant' using the following parameters: Template: General purpose Global Database Name: nacoma SID: nacoma listener: nacoma Note: it is important to set and remember the password for the 'system' user since it will be used when setting up the database. Setup the database Start sqlplus from the dir where the sql scripts are located.

9 op5 Oracle Extension 5 Two methods exist for configuring database access. Direct database access - This mean all database parameters are configured in the configuration file for the respective module. For MySQL this is the only allowed option. TNS database access - This move database name, address and port configuration to config file tnsnames.ora. This method is only supported for Oracle databases. To use RAC (Real Application Cluster) this is the only supported method to configure database access. The configuration examples below are based on the example tnsnames.ora file described in section tnsnames.ora Ninja configuration - The user interface Copy /opt/monitor/op5/ninja/application/config/database.php to /opt/monitor/ op5/ninja/application/config/custom/database.php and edit the destination file. cp /opt/monitor/op5/ninja/application/config/database.php /opt/ monitor/op5/ninja/application/config/custom/database.php Direct database access For both the $config['default'] and $config['nacoma'] sections: set type to oracle set host to the address of the oracle server set port to the database port (if different than default) Depending on oracle configuration you might also need to: set user to the db username (if different than default) set pass to the database password (if different than default) set database to the database name (if different than default) Example: $config['default'] = array ( 'benchmark' => TRUE, 'persistent' => FALSE, 'connection' => array ( 'type' => #'pdomysql', 'oracle',

10 6 op5 Oracle Extension ); 'user' => 'merlin', 'pass' => 'merlin', # these are only used by the oracle driver 'host' => ' ', 'port' => '1521', 'socket' => FALSE, 'database' => 'merlin', # this is only used by the mysql driver 'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=merlin' ), 'character_set' => 'latin1', 'table_prefix' => '', 'object' => TRUE, 'cache' => FALSE, 'escape' => TRUE $config['nacoma'] = array ( 'benchmark' => TRUE, 'persistent' => FALSE, 'connection' => array ( 'type' => #'pdomysql', 'oracle', # these are only used by oracle 'user' => 'nacoma', ); 'pass' => 'nacoma', 'host' => ' ', 'port' => '1521', 'socket' => FALSE, 'database' => 'nacoma', # this is only used by pdomysql 'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=nacoma' ), 'character_set' => 'latin1', 'table_prefix' => '', 'object' => TRUE, 'cache' => FALSE, 'escape' => TRUE TNS database access - for RAC setups For both the $config['default'] and $config['nacoma'] sections: set type to oracle set conn_str to the identifier in configuration file tnsnames.ora

11 op5 Oracle Extension 7 Depending on oracle configuration you might also need to: set user to the db username (if different than default) set pass to the database password (if different than default) Example: $config['default'] = array ( 'benchmark' => TRUE, 'persistent' => FALSE, 'connection' => array ( 'type' => #'pdomysql', 'oracle', 'user' => 'merlin', 'pass' => 'merlin', # these are only used by the oracle driver 'host' => ' ', 'port' => '1521', 'socket' => FALSE, 'database' => 'merlin', 'conn_str' => 'merlindbs', ), 'character_set' => 'latin1', 'table_prefix' => '', 'object' => TRUE, 'cache' => FALSE, 'escape' => TRUE ); $config['nacoma'] = array ( 'benchmark' => TRUE, 'persistent' => FALSE, 'connection' => array ( 'type' => #'pdomysql', 'oracle', # these are only used by oracle 'user' => 'nacoma', 'pass' => 'nacoma', 'host' => ' ', 'port' => '1521', 'socket' => FALSE, 'database' => 'nacoma', 'conn_str' => 'nacomadbs', ),

12 8 op5 Oracle Extension ); 'character_set' => 'latin1', 'table_prefix' => '', 'object' => TRUE, 'cache' => FALSE, 'escape' => TRUE Nagvis configuration - The visualization and map tool Direct database setup Edit /opt/monitor/op5/nagvis/etc/nagvis.ini.php In the [defaults] section set backend="merlinoci_1" In the [backend_merlinoci_1] set dbhost to the oracle server adress Depending on oracle configuration you might also need to: set dbuser to the db username set dbpass to the database password set dbname to the database name set dbport to the database port Example: [defaults] ; default backend (id of the default backend) backend="merlinoci_1" [backend_merlinoci_1] ; type of backend - MUST be set backendtype="merlinoci" ; hostname for Merlin db dbhost=" " ; database name for Merlin db dbname="merlin" ; username for Merlin db dbuser="merlin" ; password for Merlin db dbpass="merlin" ; portname for Merlin db dbport=1521 TNS database setup - for RAC setups Edit /opt/monitor/op5/nagvis/etc/nagvis.ini.php In the [defaults] section

13 op5 Oracle Extension 9 set backend="merlinoci_1" In the [backend_merlinoci_1] set dbconnstr to the merlin database identifier from configuration file tnsnames.ora Depending on oracle configuration you might also need to: set dbuser to the db username set dbpass to the database password Example: [defaults] ; default backend (id of the default backend) backend="merlinoci_1" [backend_merlinoci_1] ; type of backend - MUST be set backendtype="merlinoci" ; username for Merlin db dbuser="merlin" ; password for Merlin db dbpass="merlin" ; override the configuration above with a custom connection description dbconnstr="merlindbs" NOTE 1: There should not be any blank lines with in a section in the configuration above. A section start with a identifier enclosed in square brackets ([backend_merlinoci_1] in the example above. NOTE 2: The Geomap only works when using https. Merlin configuration The backend data collector Direct database access To configure merlin you first need to edit /opt/monitor/op5/merlin/merlin.conf. In the database {} section set host and type. Depending on your oracle install name (database name), user and password might also need to be edited. By default merlin uses auto_commit meaning every statement is commited. This will impact performance in large environments. To enable bulk operation you use the parameters commit_interval and commit_queries. Enabling these as in the example below mean we commit when we have 2000 queries or when 3 seconds have elapsed, which ever come first. If the database server is heavily loaded it might be beneficial to decrease the number of queries in each operation, commit_interval=1 and commit_queries=500 could be a suitable setting in such cases.

14 10 op5 Oracle Extension database { name = merlin; user = merlin; pass = merlin; host = ; type = oracle; port = 1521; commit_interval = 3; commit_queries = 2000; } Secondly you need to edit the config options in the top of /opt/monitor/op5/ merlin/import.php Example: $imp->db_type = 'oracle'; $imp->db_host = ' '; $imp->db_user = 'merlin'; $imp->db_pass = 'merlin'; $imp->db_database = 'merlin'; $imp->db_port = '1521'; TNS database access - for RAC setups To configure merlin you first need to edit /opt/monitor/op5/merlin/ merlin.conf. In the database {} section set conn_str to the merlin identifier from configuration file tnsnames.ora Depending on your oracle install user and password might also need to be edited. By default merlin uses auto_commit meaning every statement is commited. This will impact performance in large environments. To enable bulk operation you use the parameters commit_interval and commit_queries. Enabling these as in the example below mean we commit when we have 2000 queries or when 3 seconds have elapsed, which ever come first. NOTE: host and port should not be defined when using tns access. database { user = merlin; pass = merlin; type = oracle; commit_interval = 3; commit_queries = 2000; conn_str = merlindbs ; } Secondly you need to edit the config options in the top of /opt/monitor/ op5/merlin/import.php Example: $imp->db_type = 'oracle'; $imp->db_user = 'merlin';

15 op5 Oracle Extension 11 $imp->db_pass = 'merlin'; $imp->db_conn_str = 'merlindbs'; Config verification Verify import functionality by executing On Solaris: /opt/csw/php5/bin/php /opt/monitor/op5/merlin//import.php Successful import should produce output similar to: Disabling indexes Importing objects to database merlin importing objects from /opt/monitor/var/objects.cache importing status from /opt/monitor/var/status.log Enabling indexes Nacoma configuration The configuration tool Direct database access To configure Nacoma (the object configuration tool) you edit /opt/monitor/op5/ nacoma/include/db_config.inc.php Example: $db_type = 'oracle'; // mysql or oracle $db_host = ' '; $db_user = 'nacoma'; $db_passwd = 'nacoma'; $db_database = 'nacoma'; $db_port = 1521; TNS database access - for RAC setups To configure Nacoma (the object configuration tool) you edit /opt/monitor/op5/ nacoma/include/db_config.inc.php Example: $db_type = 'oracle'; // mysql or oracle

16 12 op5 Oracle Extension $db_user = 'nacoma'; $db_passwd = 'nacoma'; $db_conn_str = 'nacomadbs'; TNS - the tnsnames.ora configration file On Redhat/CentOS the tnsnames.ora file should be placed in the /etc/ directory On Solaris the tnsnames.ora file should be placed in the /var/opt/oracle/ directory The configuration examples above is based on the following tnsnames.ora example: nacomadbs= (DESCRIPTION= (ADDRESS_LIST= (FAILOVER=on) (LOAD_BALANCE=off) (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST= )(PORT=1521)) (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST= )(PORT=1521))) (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=nacoma))) merlindbs= (DESCRIPTION= (ADDRESS_LIST= (FAILOVER=on) (LOAD_BALANCE=off) (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST= )(PORT=1521)) (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST= )(PORT=1521))) (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=merlin)))
