Monitor Oracle installed on windows Host

[starlessboi]

Hi again I have an oracle Instance installed on windows host, as far as I see, scripts are in bash and python, How can I monitor oracle on windows with zbxora, Or do you have any idea to monitor that with another tools or scripts? thanks

[amberchandel]

Sir this the path,

monitor@NPDFINN-200-161:~$ echo $PATH /home/monitor/.pyenv/plugins/pyenv-virtualenv/shims:/home/monitor/.pyenv/shims:/home/monitor/.pyenv/bin:/home/monitor/bin:/home/monitor/.local/bin:/home/monitor/.pyenv/plugins/pyenv-virtualenv/shims:/home/monitor/.pyenv/shims:/home/monitor/.pyenv/bin:/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_77/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/home/monitor/bin:/usr/bin/python3.6:/home/monitor/zbxdb/bin

[ikzelf]

looks good.

[amberchandel]

than what's the error??

[amberchandel]

Shall I switch from ubuntu to rhel? and create a zabbix proxy as my zabbix server is running on ubuntu and Iwas trying to do all this here at zabbix server(ubuntu)

[ikzelf]

I have no idea. I have quite a few installations on rhel and centos. It could help. For me what happens looks strange. I have no experience with ubuntu.

[amberchandel]

Sir now I am running zbxdb on RHEL 7 and facing sqlparese error, sqlparse is not a part of of python packages. can you tell me the rpm packages of requirement.txt as my infra team is asking for RPM packages for RHEL-7 in which these can be covered

sqlparse>=0.2.4 cx-Oracle>=6.1 psycopg2>=2.7.5 python-tds>=1.9.1 PyMySQL>=0.9.2 pypsrp>=0.4.0 sqlanydb>=1.0.10 ibm-db>=3.0.1 pyOpenSSL>=19.1.0

[ikzelf]

Hi, no I can not list rpm's. Smartest is to check out the requirements for pyenv-installer. For the compilation of the cx_Oracle module you will need some gcc support. Normally I use minimal install, with the requirements for zabbix server. Most things needed will be there for you, plus a few packages that pyenv-installer needs.

[amberchandel]

Hi Sir,

i have switched to new VM running on RHEL7 and having python 3.7.4 already installed

Now when I ran this command "curl -L https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-installer/raw/master/bin/pyenv-installer | bash"

it gave me below error

[jboss@TEST-UAT-63-95 site-packages]$ curl -L https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-installer/raw/master/bin/pyenv-installer | bash % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 148 100 148 0 0 486 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 488 100 2454 100 2454 0 0 4516 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 4516 pyenv: Git is not installed, can't continue.

[ikzelf]

Since you want to install things taken from GitHub you need got to be installed: yum install git

[amberchandel]

sir I have a question when i have puthon 3.7 already installed on my machine why i have to follow these two steps again

curl -L https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-installer/raw/master/bin/pyenv-installer | bash

pyenv install 3.6.5

[ikzelf]

You don't need to but you do need to install some python packages. In my experiences it is easier to have a local installation, in my control where I can pick the version exactly like I need.

So, try to install the pip install -r zbxdb/requirements.txt

[amberchandel]

Hi Sir, I moved one step ahead now.

[jboss@TEST-UAT-63-95 ~]$ pyenv install 3.6.5 Downloading Python-3.6.5.tar.xz... -> https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.5/Python-3.6.5.tar.xz Installing Python-3.6.5... WARNING: The Python readline extension was not compiled. Missing the GNU readline lib? WARNING: The Python sqlite3 extension was not compiled. Missing the SQLite3 lib? Installed Python-3.6.5 to /home/jboss/.pyenv/versions/3.6.5

the warning are coming because oracle client is not installed??

[ikzelf]

no, because the sqlite libraries are missing. For zbxdb not a problem. You might want to install sqlite-devel

[amberchandel]

Ok Sir ,

I tried runnning pip command please look into logs

**[jboss@TEST-UAT-63-95 ~]$ pip install -r zbxdb/requirements.txt pyenv: pip: command not found

The `pip' command exists in these Python versions: 3.6.5

[ikzelf]

pyenv global 3.6.5 next: pip install .....

[amberchandel]

Shall I update pip using above command

[ikzelf]

if you have no need to monitor postgres you can remove psycopg2 from the requirements.txt Yes, upgrade pip and re-run.

[ikzelf]

if you do need postgres monitoring, install postgres-devel

[amberchandel]

I ignored postgres and sucessfully installed rest of the items.

Now I am going to run.

after all installation done i ran manually below command as you said.

Configfile etc/zbxdb.ZBXDB_NDLI_19.cfg does not exist
but the config file exist where I am going wrong now after all efforts

[ikzelf]

Hi, the idea is that your home directory has: etc/ log/ zbxdb_out/ zbxdb_sender/ zbxdb/ folders.

in etc/ you create your zbxdb.ZBXDB_NDLI_19.cfg file. That file also has a pointer to the checks_dir = etc/zbxdb_checks If you keep it this way, you also need to copy the contents of zbxdb/etc/ to your local etc/ folder.

[amberchandel]

Shall I copy my zbxdb.ZBXDB_NDLI_19.cfg in /home/jboss/zbxdb/etc/zbxdb_checks/oracle folder??

[ikzelf]

no, in the $HOME/etc/ folder or in $HOME/zbxdb/etc/ For upgrades you make your life a bit easier to us $HOME/etc/

in $HOME/zbxdb/etc/zxbdb_checks/ are the various files that are used to process the different databases/versions.

[amberchandel]

it is already present in $HOME/zbxdb/etc/ folder now I am copying it in $HOME/etc folder also.

don't forget to cd back to $HOME, otherwise the shell is going to look for a etc/ folder inside your etc/ folder where you are now located id.

[amberchandel]

Lol.. I remembered going back to $HOME.

Now this issue is coming is it because oracle sql client is not installeld?

[amberchandel]

just a sec do i need to paste zbxdb_checks directory in $HOME/etc folder where I copied my zbxdb.ZBXDB_NDLI_19.cfg file

[amberchandel]

I think it is working now

[ikzelf]

yes. This is in case you want to add own checks. If you do that in the original location, upgrades are more difficult.

[ikzelf]

The oracle python driver cx_Oracle is found but you seem to be missing the original oracle driver. Normally the express client is good enough.

[amberchandel]

now what shall i do?? shall I run zbxdb_sender.py manually?

[amberchandel]

yeah it is missing because i have not installed express client here till now.

[ikzelf]

Yes, you can try to run zbxdb_sender.py manually. As all is ok, there should be a file in zbxdb_out/ It does not have very interesting data (only connection error, but for zabbix it is data. zbxdb_sender.py by default sends the data to localhost:10051 If your zabbix server[s] are on a different address, put ZABBIX_SERVERS [and ZABBIX_SERVER_PORTS] in your environment (and .bash_profile) to make them point to the correct addresses.

sir there is a file recently created in zbxdb_out

[jboss@TEST-UAT-63-95 ~]$ cd zbxdb_out/ [jboss@TEST-UAT-63-95 zbxdb_out]$ ls -l total 4 -rw-rw-r--. 1 jboss jboss 1415 Apr 15 20:02 zbxdb.ZBXDB_NDLI_19.zbx

Sir you said to configure ZABBIX_SERVERS [and ZABBIX_SERVER_PORTS] in my environment (and .bash_profile)

how should I add this in my bas_profile and env? please help!

[amberchandel]

[jboss@TEST-UAT-63-95 bin]$ zbxdb_sender.py Falling back to default logging config WARNING:main:ZABBIX_SERVERS 127.0.0.1 ZABBIX_SERVER_PORTS 10051 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/jboss/zbxdb/bin/zbxdb_sender.py", line 83, in LOGGER.warning("Logging in %s", LOGGER.root.handlers[1].baseFilename) IndexError: list index out of range [jboss@TEST-UAT-63-95 bin]$

shall i edit the script to hardcode the port from localhost to my zabbix server ip but i think its a bad idea please tell me how can i set it in my env and bash_profile.

First: because you ran the script from the zbxdb/bin directory and not from your HOME directory, zbxdb_sender.py can not find the logging config. And yes, you should edit your .bash_profile to contain the correct address for the zabbix server.

Sir I am a bit confused, I ran below command

cd $HOME (cd /home/jboss) zbxdb.py -c etc/zbxdb.ZBXDB_NDLI_19.cfg

so i think i have ran the script from $HOME itself, please correct me if I am wrong

and I am adding these two varaible, will these two will do the work?

ZABBIX_SERVER= ZABBIX_SERVER_PORT=

??

This makes me think you were not in the $HOME directory when running zbxdb_sender.py For zbxdb.py you were correct. You should run zbxdb_sender.py from the same location.

yes, don't forget to export those variables ....

sir, I am running this script again from $HOME and configuring below properties in .bash_profile... Since my zabbix server is on different machine merely giving it's address will start sending data or shall I have to install zabbix proxy at this place and when will the items will shown in host that I created

ZABBIX_SERVER= ZABBIX_SERVER_PORT=<zabbix_server_port

Sir I added both entries in bash_profile and sourced it again and ran the command from cd $HOME still same issue is coming

ZABBIX_SERVER= ZABBIX_SERVER_PORT=

shall I copy logging_sender.json also in $HOME/etc ??

If this vm can reach the zabbix server you do not need a proxy. It just depends on what you want. If you want to be able to do maintenance on your zabbix server without loosing data, you might want to put a proxy as a cache before the server but this is not needed. Don't forget to add the hostname as listed in your etc/zbxdb.ZBXDB_NDLI_19.cfg in zabbix and connect it to the zbxdb template.

Now you ran every step manually. To keep it all running, put zbxdb_starter.py and zbxdb_sender.py in the crontab and make them run every minute. Also make sure that you source the .bash_profile (and .bashrc) before running the commands from the crontab.

yes, copy logging.json.example to etc/logging.json. That will take away the error. (I will fix that error later)

[amberchandel]

Sir I can connect to zabbibx server from this machine i don't want to mainatain the data hence as you said i don't need proxy in that case.

Yes it worked,

I copied logging_sender.json to $HOME/etc

now I am getting below output

[jboss@TEST-UAT-63-95 ~]$ zbxdb_sender.py 2020-04-15 21:08:06,457_main ZABBIX_SERVERS 127.0.0.1 ZABBIX_SERVER_PORTS 10051 2020-04-15 21:08:06,458_main Logging in /home/jboss/log/zbxdb_sender.log 2020-04-15 21:08:06,458_main zbxdb_sender needs zabbix_sender in PATH

why it is not reading server ip and port from .bash_profille??
