XOS agent configuration

To additionally monitor the resources of the database server, run a separate XOS agent process on the database server to collect data.

Note

Configuring the whatap.conf file

Set the following options in the whatap.conf file before running the XOS agent.

xos Int

Default 0

Set whether or not to use the XOS agent. If the value is 0 the XOS agent is not used for collection. Enter the value as 1 or IP address of the XOS agent. If the IP address is specified, data is collected from only the XOS agent.
xos_port String

Default 3002

Set the port to communicate with the XOS agent. XOS agent can be communicated via UDP. If you have set a firewall on that port, disable it for UDP communication.
xos_cpu_iowait Int

Default 1

Set whether the CPU utilization collected from the XOS agent is to include the iowait value. If the value is set to 1, the iowait value is included. If set to 0, the value is not included.
xos_mem_buffcache Int

Default 0

Set whether the memory utilization collected from the XOS agent is to include the buffcache value. If the value is set to 1, the buffcache value is included. If set to 0, the value is not included.

Copy the xos directory to the database server, and then enter the agent server information and set additional options in the xos.conf file.

dbx_ip String

Enter the IP address of the server in which the DBX agent has been installed.
dbx_port String

Default 3002

Set the port to communicate with the DBX agent. DBX agent can be communicated via UDP. If you have set a firewall on that port, disable it for UDP communication.
cpu_limit Int

Default 0

It collects the process data with a value greater than the set limit. If it is 1.23% (1/100% step), set it to 123.
mem_limit Int

Default 10240

It collects the process data with a value greater than the set limit. 10240 (Kbytes) indicates 10 MB.
disk_usage_interval Second

Default 60

It displays the disk utilization, free sizes, and total sizes for each instance. If the value is 0, the disk utilization is not collected.
process String

You can monitor the running status of processes. Enter the process name as an option. You can register multiple items using comma (,) as the delimiter.
xos.conf
```
process={process_name}
```
For example, to set the top and lock.sh processes to be monitored, set the options as follows:
xos.conf
```
process=top,lock.sh
```
Note
You can use the process option to send an alert when a process running in the database ends. For more information, see the following.
iplist_interval Second

You can collect a list of IPs for your database servers. Set the time interval in seconds (at least 3 seconds) for collection.

file String

To use the Log menus (Live Tail, Log Trend, Log Search, Log Configuration), enter the absolute path in the file option for the log files to be monitored.
xos.conf
```
file=/home/altibase/altibase-server-x.y.z/trc/altibase_boot.log
```
Tip
To add a logfile to monitor, add options in the same way as file, file1, file2.
xos.conf
file={log_file_path1} file1={log_file_path2} file2={log_file_path3} file3={log_file_path4}

Note

Run the following batch file on the database server.

$ ./start.sh

# or

$ ./startd.sh # When running in the background
