Managing Tuxedo Events with Expert Advice

Use the PATROL Event Manager to monitor subscribed Tuxedo events and to receive expert advice about warning or alarm conditions.

The PATROL Event Manager (PEM) is a powerful feature of every PATROL Console. Using the Event Manager, you can view and manage various types of events--everything from disk failures to stopped critical processes. You can define the behavior of events for your system, establishing recovery actions, or you can use diary features to log events.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have completed the following items:

• Installed the PATROL Agent and Console and have them running
• Loaded and configured the PATROL for Oracle Tuxedo

To Monitor Tuxedo Events with the PATROL Event Manager

1. Right-click a Tuxedo icon.

   Tip

   If you want to monitor all system-wide events (not just Tuxedo events), then start the PATROL Event Manager from a Console menu command. Use Tools > Event Manager in a Windows NT Console or View > Event Manager in a Unix Console.

2. Choose Event Manager.
    The PATROL Event Manager window appears.
   
3. Right-click an event to see details.
   
4. Click Expert Advice to display an explanation of the event and any advised actions that should be taken.
    You can use the Diary features to track operator comments about any event type, and you can add your own local events and expert advice. More information about these topics and other features of the PATROL Event Manager is available within the online help.
    The following table lists Tuxedo events and their expert advice.The [confluence_table-plus] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline. Click on this message for details.
   This macro generates standalone content. As a consequence you need to make sure to use a syntax that separates your macro from the content before and after it so that it's on a line by itself. For example in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ this means having 2 newline characters (a.k.a line breaks) separating your macro from the content before and after it.

Where to go from here

Use the BEATUX_EVENT menu commands to add subscribed events. For more information, see Monitoring Events.
