The Uptime Infrastructure Monitor DataStore can run on an Oracle database to leverage existing Oracle installations and take advantage of Oracle's advanced replication, recovery and archiving features. This article assumes that you have already installed Uptime Infrastructure Monitor and have an Oracle database available (see Supported Databases for version details).
Step 1 - Preparing the Oracle Database
To run Uptime Infrastructure Monitor with an Oracle database, first create a database on your Oracle instance that Uptime Infrastructure Monitor will be able to use. If you are unsure which databases are available to you or how to create a new database, please contact your Oracle administrator and have a database configured for Uptime Infrastructure Monitor.

Understanding your Oracle Connection Settings
If you plan to run Uptime Infrastructure Monitor with an Oracle DataStore, you can use the information in the Oracle TNS connection string to populate database-specific fields that need to be set in the uptime.conf file.
The uptime.conf file settings for an Oracle DataStore are:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
dbDriver=oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
dbType=oracle
dbHostname=oraserv
dbPort=1521
dbName=uptime
dbUsername=name
dbPassword=password |
Below is a sample of a TNS connection string:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=oracle1-2-3.yourdomain.com) (PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=oradb.yourdomain.com))) |
Add the values highlighted in bold in the TNS connection string above into the uptime.conf file as follows:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
dbHostname=oracle1-2-3.yourdomain.com
dbPort=1521
dbName=oradb.yourdomain.com |
Step 2 - Configuring Uptime Infrastructure Monitor
After you have created the Oracle database and set up the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor database, you need to configure Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to access the new database.
...
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
#dbDriver=oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
#dbType=oracle
#dbHostname=10.1.1.124
#dbPort=1521
#dbName=uptime
#dbUsername=uptime
#dbPassword=password |

Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
dbHostname=oracle1-2-3.yourdomain.com
dbPort=1521
dbName=oradb.yourdomain.com |
Step 3 - Resetting the Uptime DataStore
Reset the Uptime DataStore settings to create the tables and default values required by Uptime Infrastructure Monitor on your Oracle database. To do this, run the following command on your Uptime Infrastructure Monitor Monitoring Station:
...

This command will reset any existing Uptime Infrastructure Monitor-specific database settings. Before running this command, ensure that the settings in the uptime.conf file are correct. |
Step 4 - Restarting Uptime Infrastructure Monitor
After the resetdb utility has finished updating your database settings, restart Uptime Infrastructure Monitor. When Uptime Infrastructure Monitor restarts, it will be running from your Oracle database with an empty Uptime Infrastructure Monitor installation.
