EM Event: Warning: <Database Instance> - Agent Down
876125Apr 25 2012 — edited Apr 30 2012Hello,
while upgrading plugins for the OMS 12 Bundle Patch and applying the BP on the agents, I get a lot of mails with the above subject - namely, one mail by every database instance and every listener running on the host.
Content of the mail is as follows:
Host=<hostname>
Target type=Database Instance
Target name=<database name>
Categories=Availability
Message=Agent Down
Severity=Warning
...
Availability status=Agent Down
Rule Name=Database Availability and Critical States,Target Availability Event Rule
Rule Owner=SYSMAN
Blackout on the host leads to the OMS not being able to do the upgrades - obviously a blacked-out agent is not able to do that. What puzzles me that in the Rule mentioned in the mail, incidents should only be created for the target type being down (i.e. for database instance when database is down, and so on) as one would expect.
I would rather not blackout all targets on a host EXCEPT the agent as this gets old with our number of hosts and dbs, does anyone know which rule is responsible for the mails and how they could be suppressed temporarily in an efficient way?
