2 | The alreader utility failed to start or failed to register the Oracle standby alert log file. |

alreader
The alreader (alreader.exe on Windows) is a utility for scanning Oracle Alert log files. Oracle alert log files are used by Oracle to record change events within the Oracle system. The KM uses these files as source of data for monitoring. This utility is a tool used for data collection. The utility can scan one or more alert log files according to your needs. Every change in the log file is recorded by the alreader utility and the new changes (data lines) are sent to the KM.
In remote monitoring, the alreader utility is deployed locally on the host where the Oracle database is installed. The utility sends the new changes (data lines) to the remote PATROL Agent located on a different host over SSH.
After the utility initializes the StandbyAlertLog parameter, the parameter scans 1 MB of data in the alert log every 600 seconds (10 minutes) for new entries
