Secure Configuration Manager handles agents monitoring UNIX computers as it does any other kind of agent, with no special configuration necessary. However, if you are monitoring Oracle, you must ensure that the endpoints are properly configured. To configure Secure Configuration Manager to monitor Oracle, you must first install an UNIX agent on the computer running Oracle, then you can add one or more Oracle endpoints to the new UNIX agent.
To add Oracle endpoints to a UNIX agent:
Ensure you have a UNIX agent installed on the computer running Oracle.
In the tree pane, expand NetIQ Secure Configuration Manager > IT Assets > Agents > OS > Unix.
In the content pane, select the UNIX agent to which you want to add the endpoint.
On the Actions menu, click Add Endpoint.
Select the UNIX agent you want the endpoint to monitor and click Next.
In the Name field, type a name for the endpoint.
In the Endpoint Type field, select Oracle.
Complete the required information in the following fields.
Name of the Oracle instance
User account used to access the Oracle database. If your Oracle environment requires name@sid format, use that format here. This account must have access to read tables and views. The specific requirements for access depend on which checks you run. You must assign adequate permission for the checks you use to access the information you need.
Password for the user account used to access the Oracle database.
(Conditional) If you want to add more information about the endpoint, complete the following optional fields.
Email address of the contact person.
Name of the designated contact person.
Criticality level of the endpoint.
Location of the computer hardware.
Version of Oracle the endpoint is running.
(Conditional) If you want to add the endpoint to a group, complete the following steps:
Click Add Endpoint to a Group.
Select an existing group to which you want to add the endpoint, or click Create to create a new group.
Click Finish to return to the Define Endpoint window.
(Conditional) If you are adding more than one endpoint, click Add Endpoint. Repeat Step 5 through Step 9 for each endpoint that you want to add.
Click Finish.
