Listener Log (ListenerLog)


Alarms when an error has been recorded to the listener log file. The ListenerLog parameter shows the severity of the most severe TNS error written to the listener log for this instance. The annotation reports the text of the reported error. By default, the ListenerLog parameter alarms only on TNS errors. If you want this parameter to alarm for other errors, use the Listener Log Filter menu command to add strings for monitoring.

The first time that the parameter is run after discovery it initializes the parameter value by setting it to zero. Each time the parameter runs it scans the entries added to the listener log since its previous run, or since instance startup if this is the first run for the parameter.

The parameter reports the following values:

Value

Description

0

The data in the Listener alert log file was successfully read and contents do not match the user defined filters.

1

The Listener alert log file is not accessible. The alreader utility failed to receive text from the remote Listener alert log file.

2

The alreader utility failed to start or failed to register the Listener alert log file.

3

The data in the Listener alert log file was successfully read and it contains matches to the user defined filters.

5

Oracle Net Messages (TNS-) errors were found in the Listener alert log.

The annotation in the ListenerLog parameter shows the results of values 1, 2, 3, and 5. If no alert log file is found by the SQL query, the parameter is offline.

Warning

Do not adjust the alarm ranges for this parameter. If you want to suppress alarms and warnings, disable Alarm1 and Alarm2. This allows the parameter to continue gathering data without going into an alert state. If you want to stop the parameter from gathering data, deactivate the parameter.
