How to
start, trace 8i and 9i Data Collection Service
(Data
Gatherer and Intelligent Agent)?
Gathered By:
John Kazerooni
In 9i, the Data
Collection Service is integrated in the Intelligent Agent. You
must trace the
Intelligent Agent to trace the Data Collection Service.
In 8i, The Data
Collection Service is a separate process, the Data Gatherer.
You must trace the
Data Gatherer process.
9i Data Collection
Service on Unix
----------------------------------
1. Stop the
Intelligent Agent if it is started
$> agentctl stop
2. Set the
environment variable VP_DEBUG to 1
$> setenv VP_DE<BUG:1>
or export VP_DEBUG=1
3. Start the
Intelligent Agent
$> agentctl
start
Data Collection
Service debug information will be logged in the file dbsnmp.
nohup located in
ORACLE_HOME/network/log (by default)
9i Data Collection
Service on Windows
--------------------------------------
1. Stop the
intelligent agent service if it is started
2. Open a dos
command window
3. Set the
environment variable VP_DEBUG
c:\oracle\product\ia\bin>
set VP_DEBUG=1
4. Start the
intelligent agent
c:\oracle\product\ia\bin>
dbsnmp -agent_name <
Intelligent_agent_service_name>
for example :
dbsnmp -agent_name Oracleora92Agent
Data Collection
Service debug information will be logged at screen. To redirect
debug information
to file odg.log for example :
dbsnmp żagent_name
Oracleora901Agent > stdout.log 2> odg.log
Pre-9i Data
Collection Service on Unix
--------------------------------------
1. Stop the Data
Collection Service (Data Gatherer process) if it is started
$> vppcntl -stop
(-status or -start)
2. Start the Data
Collection Service with the following command
$> vppdc -debug
> output.log 2> odg.log &
This will redirect
Data Collection Service debug information in the file odg.log
Pre-9i Data
Collection Service on Windows
-----------------------------------------
1. Stop the Data
Collection Service (Data Gatherer service) if it is started
2. Open a dos
command window
3. Start the Data
Collection Service with the following command
c:\oracle\product\ia\bin>
vppdc -console -debug > stdout.txt 2> odg.log
This will redirect
Data Collection Service debug information in the file odg.
log which is
located in ORACLE_HOME\odg\log
