Slide 28: 22 IBM Tivoli Netcool/System Service Monitors Version 4.0: Release Notes
Slide 29: Chapter 3. Known problems, limitations, and workarounds The following problems, limitations and workarounds exist for Netcool/SSM version 4.0. Netcool/SSM components Specific functional or operational limitations exist for some components of Netcool/SSM. arithmetic subagent NBS049761: The subagent causes the agent to crash when executing a deeply recursive function because the stack size is too small. ipconfig subagent If the monitored host’s default gateway has multiple network interfaces that share the same DNS name, the IP address indicated by the object srIpDefaultGateway may vary. This occurs because the DNS server reports the IP address of each interface in a ‘round-robin’ manner, resulting in a different IP address being returned with each DNS lookup. This issue applies to all UNIX platforms except Solaris. Master agent There are several known limitations of the master agent. v NBS047807: If VACM is disabled, an attacker can get full access to the agent with any SNMPv3 user name and by forcing the security level to noAuthNoPriv. v NBS049017: The trapdest add command temporarily blocks the agent during DNS lookup if an invalid hostname is specified. v CR8014: The agent crashes when it runs out of memory, rather than reporting an error and continuing to operate or exiting gracefully. Netcool/ASM for Microsoft SQL Server APAR IY95967/NBS049797: The subagent does not monitor Microsoft SQL Server 2005 correctly. Netcool/ASM for Oracle On Linux platforms, the Oracle OCI libraries, which the Netcool/ASM for Oracle uses to interface with the database, contain a memory leak. Apply Oracle 9.2.0.4 patch to the installation. Netcool/ASM for Sybase ASE Automated deployment and configuration using Netcool/SM Configuration is not supported for Netcool/ASM for Sybase ASE. If you deploy Netcool/ASM for Sybase ASE using Netcool/SM Configuration, you must manually set the SybaseHome inivar to the location of the target Sybase ASE installation. © Copyright IBM Corp. 1996, 2007 23
Slide 30: Netcool/ASM for WebLogic This release includes an updated version of the WebLogic performance monitoring servlet, PerfMonitor.ear. When upgrading an existing Netcool/SSM installation that uses Netcool/ASM for WebLogic to monitor WebLogic servers, you must redeploy PerfMonitor.ear on each monitored server. Using the WebLogic Administration Console, undeploy PerfMonitor on each WebLogic server, then run the wl_setup script (located in the Netcool/SSM bin directory) to redeploy PerfMonitor on those servers. Netcool/ASM for WebSphere This release includes an updated version of the WebSphere performance monitoring servlet, PerfServlet.ear. When upgrading an existing Netcool/SSM installation that uses Netcool/ASM for WebSphere to monitor WebSphere servers, you must redeploy PerfServlet.ear on each monitored server. Use the WebSphere administrative console to uninstall PerfServlet from each server, then run the ws_setup script (located in the Netcool/SSM bin directory) to redeploy PerfServlet on those servers. programmable subagent CR9048: The agent hangs when aborting a programmable control row that is configured to execute a program which has created child processes (Windows only). svrsecurity subagent There are several issues concerning the operation of the Server Security (svrsecurity) subagent. Login files To monitor logins using svrsecurity, the following files must exist or be symbolically linked to the real files for the subagent to work correctly: v Linux: /var/log/lastlog v Solaris: /var/adm/loginlog v HPUX: /var/adm/acct/sum/loginlog Login failure threshold on Solaris platforms On Solaris platforms, the operation of the svrsecurity login failure detection is different to that on other platforms. Normally the subagent generates a trap when three failed logins are detected. However, on Solaris platforms the number of failed logins that must be observed before a trap is generated depends on the value of the retries parameter defined in the file /etc/default/login. If the value of this parameter is greater than 3, a trap is not generated until this value is exceeded (this occurs because the operating system does not write the number of login failures to the disk until a breach has occurred). If the value of this parameter is 3 or lower, then the subagent behaves as it does on other platforms. 24 IBM Tivoli Netcool/System Service Monitors Version 4.0: Release Notes
Slide 31: FIN, NULL, and Xmas port scans on Solaris 9 and 10 The Server Security subagent does not detect FIN, NULL, and Xmas port scans on Solaris 9 and 10 because these operating systems provide automatic protection against such attacks. Installing Netcool/SSM If the installation option string passed to the installer using the /z switch contains an equal character (=), it must also contain a space character at some point, otherwise the parameter string is not passed to install script correctly. This is a known issue in InstallShield version 8. Operating system limitations Operating system limitations relate to the interaction between Netcool/SSM and the operating system that is running on the machine on which Netcool/SSM is installed. UNIX These limitations apply to Netcool/SSM on all UNIX platforms. UNIX system date/time On UNIX platforms, changing the system date/time can cause unexpected behavior in the agent. This is because many events within the agent are scheduled to perform actions at certain times. Changing the date/time effectively corrupts the application runtime environment. Symptoms include hanging or spinning the agent, data not being periodically updated. Agents running on Solaris platforms are particularly sensitive to system date/time changes. Note: This does not include changes made by NTP because these date/time changes are gradual. Linux These limitations apply to Netcool/SSM on Linux platforms. This section describes the known issues on Linux operating systems. Core files On Linux distributions that do not use the Native POSIX Threads Library (NPTL), core files often do not contain any useful information about the application thread that has crashed. If Netcool/SSM crashes, inspect the host system’s process status list. The offending thread may still be resident in memory. In this case, rename the existing core file and enter the command kill -ABRT <pid>. This produces a core file for the offending thread, providing information useful for debugging. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, more informative core files are generated if you change the following kernel variable using the command: echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/core_uses_pid This causes all processes to write core files with filenames core.pid, ensuring that one thread does not accidentally overwrite the core file of another process. Applying this change immediately and insert it into the file /etc/rc.d/rc.local. Chapter 3. Known problems, limitations, and workarounds 25
Slide 32: Bonding driver virtual interface The agent cannot detect the virtual interface formed by the bonding driver (for example, bond0). The agent only reports interfaces with an assigned IP address. Assign the interface a dummy IP address (for example, ifconfig bond0 1.1.1.1). Ensure that the IP address you assign does not interfere with the routing table. AIX These limitations apply to Netcool/SSM on AIX platforms. Low-level packet capture It is not possible for the low-level packet capture code to capture the outbound packets. There is no workaround to this issue at present. This affects all monitoring activities running on AIX that are configured to monitor that same host’s outbound network activity. Terminate configuration command The terminate configuration command terminates the agent; however, when you issue this command, the AIX service controller is not informed that the agent has terminated. Similarly, if you terminate the agent using the AIX command kill -9 on the agent process, the AIX service controller is not informed of this. In both cases, the AIX service controller is not aware that the service has terminated; however any attempt to stop it using the AIX command stopsrc s <service name> will fail. If this situation arises, restart the host. To prevent this situation occurring, always invoke the service controller when terminating the agent by using either of the following commands: stopsrc -c -s service name (kill -2 plus kill -9 on the named service) stopsrc -f -s service name (kill -9 on the named service) Core files If the agent attempts to dump core and there is not enough disk space in the partition in which the core file is being created then it will probably be lost or useless for debug purposes. To prevent this, ensure that there is sufficient disk space in the partition to hold a core file. Windows These limitations apply to Netcool/SSM on Windows platforms. Registering the Netcool/SSM service on Windows Under Windows 2000/XP/2003, registering service mode users that already exist may cause inconsistencies to appear with the Service Controller, and manual intervention may be required. This seems to be especially true for Domain users. It is recommended that you use the default service user (that is, Local System). 26 IBM Tivoli Netcool/System Service Monitors Version 4.0: Release Notes
Slide 33: Windows fault reports Windows XP platforms provide a feature Report Faults to Microsoft, which is enabled by default. If the agent crashes and the operating system creates a Dr Watson dump, the dump file is often corrupted or truncated when Report Faults to Microsoft is enabled. To disable Report Faults to Microsoft: 1. In the Start menu select Settings → Control Panel → System. 2. Select the Advanced tab. 3. Click Error Reporting. 4. Select the Disable Error Reporting option. Interaction with other applications These limitations relate to the interaction between Netcool/SSM and other applications that are running on the machine on which Netcool/SSM is installed. Microsoft SNMP Service Under Windows 2000/XP/2003, the Microsoft SNMP service which uses UDP port 161 will prevent the agent from running if it is active. You can instruct the installation program to disable this service if it is detected at installation time. Kaspersky® Anti-Virus software On Windows platforms that are running Kaspersky Anti-Virus software there have been issues when uninstalling the agent. This seems to happen because as InstallShield performs the uninstallation operation it touches the executable images installed, which in turn alerts the anti-virus software, which in turn is detected by InstallShield. The latter complains that the image being uninstalled is in use but allows the end user to complete the uninstall successfully. The message is benign and can be ignored. Microsoft® Exchange™ When you use the Netcool/ASM for Microsoft Exchange on Windows 2000/XP platforms to monitor a Microsoft Exchange 5.5 SP3 server, the MTA may log an event 1016 when it is writing an extensible counter to the Windows 2000 Server Performance Monitor log. This in turn can fill the NT Event Log causing issues for the serving host. The cause of this behavior is not the Netcool/ASM for Microsoft Exchange. The root cause is addressed by applying Microsoft Exchange Service Pack 4. This issue is described further in the Microsoft knowledge base article 263112. Veritas® NetBackup™ Some versions of Veritas NetBackup may hang if the agent is running when a backup is performed. The agent creates a lock file under /var/spool/locks containing the PID of the agent; this is normal behavior. It sets the permissions of this file to enforce mandatory locking. Any attempt to open the file will hang until the lock is released. To avoid this problem, configure Veritas NetBackup to exclude this directory from the backup cycle. Chapter 3. Known problems, limitations, and workarounds 27
Slide 34: Windows diskperf utility On Windows 2000/XP/2003 platforms, the diskperf utility is configured by default to never start. Post installation, it will be configured to start at boot. Although Netcool/SSM does not require the host to be rebooted after installation, some disk metrics, such as disk IO since the last host boot, will not have accurate data. This can only be addressed by rebooting the host machine. Configuration issues These limitations relate to the configuration of Netcool/SSM and its components. System resource usage It is possible to configure the agent and its subagents in such a way that its resource usage severely reduces the performance of the host system. For example, monitoring system activity at too high a rate, or specifying resources to be monitored at too coarse a level of granularity can consume excessive amounts of system resources. Try to strike a balance between the number of objects monitored, the polling interval, and the resource usage on the host on which the agent is running. 28 IBM Tivoli Netcool/System Service Monitors Version 4.0: Release Notes
Slide 35: Chapter 4. Support information If you have a problem with your IBM software, you want to resolve it quickly. IBM provides a number of ways for you to obtain the support you need. v Searching knowledge bases: You can search across a large collection of known problems and workarounds, Technotes, and other information. v Obtaining fixes: You can locate the latest fixes that are already available for your product. v Contacting IBM Software Support: If you still cannot solve your problem, and you need to work with someone from IBM, you can use a variety of ways to contact IBM Software Support. Frequently asked questions What does the diskperfhelper.exe program do? This program is only required on Windows 2000 platforms and is installed on your system as a helper service for the System Resources subagent. The service collects disk performance metrics and is required to load at boot time. What about Microsoft SNMP service? This service is provided by Microsoft to provide basic SNMP services. Netcool/SSM is designed to be a replacement for this service, therefore Microsoft SNMP must be disabled during or prior to the installation process. What if I’m using a third-party MIB module which is usually loaded with the Microsoft SNMP service? The ntext subagent enables you to use third-party SNMP modules. See the Netcool/SSM Administration Guide for details. Why are some elements of the standard and vendor specific MIBs not implemented (for example, hostres and sysres)? Some MIB objects are not appropriate to particular platforms or there is no way for Netcool/SSM to extract the values on that platform. What is the difference between the ControlRowTimeout specified in the init.cfg file and, for example, the transactionControlRequestTimeout in a transaction control row? ControlRowTimeout applies to all non-active control rows. All control rows consume resources and over time it is not uncommon for existing ones to be deactivated or created and forgotten about. Setting ControlRowTimeout controls how long the agent will wait before purging these. A value of 0 implies all rows will be retained. The transactionControlRequestTimeout object in a transaction control row covers the time the transaction sub-agent will wait before deciding to end a transaction. If packets that the transaction subagent expects get lost or if the application generating the transactions dies, it can leave the subagent in a state where it is © Copyright IBM Corp. 1996, 2007 29
Slide 36: trying to collect metrics on transactions that will never end. The transactionControlRequestTimeout object controls that timeout period. What is the sap.csv file in the config directory for? The transaction subagent uses this file to map SAP transaction codes to descriptions of those transactions. If a deployment is intended to monitor more SAP transactions than are included in this .csv file, you can extend the file with the appropriate types and descriptions. Why does my Windows server seem to have several sessions open from machines running the agent? This occurs because the hostres subagent is attempting to query network drive information. You can reduce the number of sessions created on the server by doing any of the following: v On the server, reduce the auto-disconnect timeout with the command: net config server /autodisconnect:<minutes> v Change the service user account under which the agent executes to be a domain member. v Run the agent in application mode. Why can’t I see any information about network drives in hostres? This occurs because the agent is running as a service user which does not have domain privileges and hence can’t query the network drive. To correct this, run the agent service as a user who is a domain member, or run the agent in application mode. Why does transaction subagent stop monitoring some transaction types? When a control row is created to monitor particular transaction types, the subagent can fail to capture and display the expected transaction type. The principal reason for this is that the value of the control row’s transactionControlRequestTimeout object is too small for the transaction type being monitored or the way the transaction is configured to operate on the host under test. For example, if a default transaction row is created to monitor POP & SMTP traffic between two hosts and there is no such traffic before the request timeout expires then the connection will timeout. When this occurs, an entry with the following format is created in the agent.log file (if the agent is configured to operate at log level 3 or higher): <DateTime Stamp>: Timed out connection: <Connection endpoints>; <Application Type> will be created in the agent.log file if it is configured to operate at log level 3 or higher. Why does the loopback interface in the MIB-2 interfaces ifTable have a speed of 0? The agent uses low level system functions to determine the speed of the loopback interface. The values returned on the different platforms and the semantics associated with those values vary from platform to platform. By convention, if the ifSpeed object has the value 0, this indicates ″as fast as possible″ for the platform being monitored. 30 IBM Tivoli Netcool/System Service Monitors Version 4.0: Release Notes
