No specific error was seen. Instead, it was noticed that the Oracle database in question wasn't getting the relevant table concerned updated during any monitor. This was despite "DetailMonitor" being set to "1".
From 5.1SP1, for detail monitoring to work, an additional attribute is required:
LevelTwoMonitorFreq
This was set to "1" as the example below reveals:
Oracle ora2_db (
Critical = 0
Owner = oracle
User = bookie
Table = timestamp
DetailMonitor = 1
Home = "/app/oracle/orahome"
StartUpOpt = SRVCTLSTART
MonScript = "/opt/VRTSagents/ha/bin/Oracle/SqlTest.pl"
Sid @rgv200sol05 = punedb1
Sid @rgv200sol06 = punedb2
Pword = IURuLUuOJoKOl
ShutDownOpt = SRVCTLSTOP
LevelTwoMonitorFreq = 1
)
Note that both LevelTwoMonitorFreq and DetailMonitor are set to "1". DetailMonitor is set to be deprecated from 6.0.
