Perfect! I reinstalled the agent and tested again and yes, as soon as the machine agent starts, the "Databases" -> "Dashboard" for the DB server stops.  I killed the agent and the DB Agent collection began reporting again. I then changed the machine agen'ts controller-info.xml by setting the unique-host-id as the short hostname with a "-ma" <unique-host-id>examplehost-ma</unique-host-id> I started the machine agent and after 5 minutes, the DB Agent collection is still reporting data as expected. ...

Yes, we have a Linux server running the dbagent that connects over the network via port 1521.  Everything is fine until I start up the machine agent.  The dashboard page then displays that error and statistics on that page stop reporting.  Stop the machine agent and within a minute the stats start reporting again. ...

Good topic! Testing the Oracle collection, it was running fine.  The developer/application owner messaged me this morning asking why the UI was showing "Error: The agent is currently not reporting any data".  After much research, I put 2 and 2 together and realized that this started after I started up the machine agent. So I have a remote DB Agent coming in via port 1521 and a local machine agent and some of the data collection starts failing for the remote DB Agent.  I don't recall seeing any information about this documented. I guess our DB servers will not have server visibility or hardware monitoring because there will be no SSH approvals in the DB servers.  Not the end of the world, but just something that could be clarified a bit better. ...

Good question and certainly food for thought.  One of our challenges is adoption of the agent by various product (application) teams.  We have X amount of licenes and I am now carving those out into rules and using different keys so we can better track who and how many.  Having a report would be good for automagically providing that feedback.  Thanks for the ideas. ...

Yes, perfect.  I have used that for ignoring 400 errors.  I think I am golden with your help.  Thank you Eric. We are green here and I am learning as I go and will be leveraging the community and sharing in return as we move forward. ... View more

Taking what you gave me and munging it with some other work I did with detecting some loadrunner headers... Example to excllude BTs named /my/example Configuration -> Instrumentation - Transaction Detection Add Agent Type = Java Entry Point Type = Servlet Summary tab Exclude Transactions discovered by this rule Name = Custom - Exclude /my/example Priorty = 10 Scope = Default Scope Rule Configuration tab URI = Equals : /my/example Save ...

I am looking at the error detection now, thank you very much for the direction. ... View more
