Information
Announcement Support for this product will end on December 22, 2025. To monitor Oracle databases, we recommend that you use PATROL for Oracle Enterprise Database.

FOBGPMonitor (Failover Background Process Monitor)


After discovery is complete, the FOBGPMonitor parameter runs every 60 seconds. It looks for running Oracle instances by searching for the dbw* background processes and by parsing instance names out of those process names. Using this process list, the FOBGPMonitor parameter determines whether the instance under consideration is running on the current host. If the instance is running now but was running during the previous cycle, monitoring for that instance is disabled, and the parameter goes into a warning state until its next cycle. If the instance is down on the next cycle, the parameter resets to the OK state.
