Linux Shell Script To Monitor and Report GoldenGate Lag

This script can monitor GoldenGate lag whenever it happens based on the per-defined LAG threshold inside the script.
It's highly recommended to deploy this script on all (source & destination) replication servers in order to detect the lag on all processes (Extract, Pump, and Replicate).

This script is not designed to monitor the replicated data inside the tables it totally relies on the native GoldenGate GGSCI console.

This script should be executed/scheduled by the GoldenGate installation owner OS user.                                               

How it works:

First, Download the script:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/l4dqzicviuaawt6/goldengate_lag_mon.sh?dl=0

Second, Adjust the following parameters:

MAIL_LIST="youremail@yourcompany.com"

Replace "youremail@yourcompany.com" pattern with your e-mail.

# ###########################################

# Mandatory Parameters To Be Set By The User:

# ###########################################

ORACLE_HOME= # ORACLE_HOME path of the database where GoldenGate is running against.

GG_HOME=           # GoldenGate Installation Home path. e.g. GG_HOME=/goldengate/gghome

Please note that ORACLE_HOME & GG_HOME are mandatory to be adjusted by YOU, in case you missed setting them up, the script will automatically try to guess the right values, but this will not be accurate most of the times.

# ################

# Script Settings:

# ################

# LAG THRESHOLD in minutes: [If reached an e-mail alert will be sent. Default 10 minutes]

LAG_IN_MINUTES=10

Here you define the LAG threshold in minutes (it's 10 minutes by default). Whereas if the lag reached 10 minutes it will send you an email.

# Excluded Specific PROCESSES NAME:

# e.g. If you want to exclude two replicate processes with names REP_11 and REP_12 from being reported then add them to below parameter as shown:

# EXL_PROC_NAME="DONOTREMOVE|REP_11|REP_12"

EXL_PROC_NAME="DONOTREMOVE"

In case you want to exclude specific (Extract, Pump, or Replicat) processes, let's say you want to exclude a process you use it for testing the replication, you can add it to the above parameter as shown in the blue color example.

DISCLAIMER: THIS SCRIPT IS DISTRIBUTED IN THE HOPE THAT IT WILL BE USEFUL BUT WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY. IT IS PROVIDED "AS IS".

dbalarm Script for Monitoring Oracle DB Server is Now Packed With New Features

I've introduced a new mode called "Paranoid" mode to the dbalarm script (which is used to monitor the Oracle database and listener logs along with monitoring locks, Space, and other events). When the paranoid  mode gets enabled, the script will monitor the following additional activities/events on the Oracle database:

- EXPORT/IMPORT activities whenever they start.
- ALTER SYSTEM commands.
- ALTER DATABASE commands.
- Instance STARTUP/SHUTDOWN events.
- Other Major DB activities.

This mode is disabled by default to let the notifications focused on reporting errors. In order to enable this mode, you have to set PARANOIDMODE parameter from N to Y:

# #########################
# THRESHOLDS:
# #########################
# Modify the THRESHOLDS to the value you prefer:
...

PARANOIDMODE=Y    # Paranoid mode will report more events like export/import, instance shutdown/startup. [Default Disabled]

Gather Statistics Shell Script Can Now Run In nohup Mode | Oracle On Linux

I've re-coded the gather statistics shell script for Oracle to run in nohup mode by default, thereby allowing the DBA to close the session without interrupting the gather statistics operation.
