Agent Builder Agent Workspaces and views are messed up after agent upgrade on TEP

This issue had us puzzled for weeks. The issue was that whenever we changed anything on one of our Agent Builder Agent even though the TEP support was correctly installed and the new support files downloaded by the TEP javaws client the views were still messed up, wrong order, incorrect titles, etc. The problem was still around after stopping the agent, clearing offline entry and starting the agent and getting it again into TEP. Just like this agent here:

We figured out that the issue is basically that the agent has to be cleared out from EVERY navigator view where it is present. For some reason it is not enough to clear the offline entry from the Physical view you have to delete them from all views. After the agent is gone from all views in question do the following:

Restart the agent from TEP.

Wait until the agent greys out on the console, then select Clear offline entry from the dropdown menu. The agent will now be gone from the Physical view.

Once the agent has been restarted, it pops back in to the TEP console but now with the correct views and workspaces. Now all you have to do is to assign the agent back to its navigator views.

We can summarize that the whole problem was because the agent was present in multiple navigator views…

How to remotely list Vmware VMs using python and turn off SSL certificate verification

Since we are automating a number of things in our environment there was a need to list vms remotely using a script. We tried using PHP or the vmware vi perl toolkit but we couldn’t make any of them work.

The problem with that PHP script we tried to use was that the SSL certificate on the vcenter host doesn’t match the hostname and even though we tried everything it was impossible to turn the SSL certificate verification off. We tried to use this script:

https://gist.github.com/scr34m/3490246

The problem with the VI perl toolkit was that the toolkit is kind of old and requires libraries that are not available any longer. It also requires perl version 5.8 so we had to install an older perl version parallel with the current one. After a day spent trying to get it working we gave it up.

The last option was to use the  VMware vSphere API Python Bindings and the pyvmomi-community-samples.  We did the following:

Determine the python version:

Python 2.7.12 (default, Nov 19 2016, 06:48:10)
 [GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux2
 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import sys
 >>> print (sys.version)
 2.7.12 (default, Nov 19 2016, 06:48:10)
 [GCC 5.4.0 20160609]
 >>>

Since Python 2.7 doesn’t have PIP ( Pip Installs Packages ) installed by default we had to get that downloaded and installed first.

Download get-pip.py from here
python get-pip.py

This installs PIP. Now we need to download and install the vmware python extensions.

pip install pyvmomi

We also need to install git if it is not already installed

apt-get install git

Now install the community samples part. The libraries will be installed into the directory you issue this command from.

git clone https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi-community-samples.git

Locate and run getallvms.py to list all vms from your vcenter. It is very important that you run this script from the community samples location otherwise it will fail with the following error:

root@zoltan-VirtualBox-kk:/app/images/IPM/python# python getallvms.py
 Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "getallvms.py", line 27, in <module>
 import tools.cli as cli
 ImportError: No module named cli

Run the command using the following syntax:

python getallvms.py -s [vcentername]  -u [vmwreuser] -p [vmwarepassword]

If your hostname doesn’t match the certificate you will be getting the error below. If it matches you should be seeing the list of vms now.

There is no way to switch certificate verification off using a command line parameter so the code has to be changed from:

Installing and Configuring the Netcool Omnibus SCOM 2007 Probe

In this article we will install and configure the Netcool Omnibus SCOM 2007 Probe. The probe will be installed on a separate machine and will contact the SCOM server across the network.

The following steps will be performed to achieve the integration:

  • Install probe support
  • Install the SCOM probe
  • Configure the SCOM probe to communicate with the probe server and connect to the Omnibus server
  • Configure SCOM to work with the probe

We used Netcool Omnibus version 7.4 and Windows 2008 R2 for the operating systems.

Install probe support

Start the installation by executing the install.exe coming with the Netcool Ombibus Server installation image.

netcool-install-splashClick OK to continue the installation.

pre-installAccept the license agreement then click Next to start the configuration of the Autonomic Deployment Engine.

autonomicnextSelect Do not change at the Deployment Engine Access Permission windows and click Next to continue the installation.

select-destination-folderSelect the Destination Folder and click Next to continue. We used the default folder offered.

choose-install-setSelect Custom at the Install Set selection and click Next.

select-probe-support-onlySelect Probe Support only and continue the installation by clicking the Next button.

click-install-probe-supportClick Install to kick off the installation procedure.

restart-windows-probe-supportReboot your windows system to finalize the installation.

Install the SCOM probe

Unpack the probe zip file into a directory of your choice.

start-installation-probeStart the nco_install_integration.vbs located in C:\IBM\Tivoli\Netcool\omnibus\install if you used the default omnibus installation folder.

netcool-install-splashClick OK to continue the installation.

select-probe-to-installLocate the directory where you unpacked the probe file. You need to specify the directory that contains the COI directory then click Next.

install-probeAccept the License Agreement at the next screen then click Install to start the installation of the SCOM probe.

install-complete-probeThe installation of the SCOM probe is now complete.

Configure the SCOM probe to communicate with the probe server and connect to the Omnibus server

As a first step you need to specify your omnibus servers in the server editor.

start-server-editor-omnibus

You can start the server editor by going to the Start Menu -> Netcool Suite -> System Utilities -> Servers Editor

netcool-configure-objectservers

Add your object servers on the list in the server editor, you can delete whatever you find there by default as it is irrelevant for the current setup.

SDK-locationThe next step is to move the SCOM SDK files from the SCOM Server to the probe machine. You will need to have the copy the following files in the following directories:

  • C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007\SDK Binaries\BinariesMicrosoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.dll
  • C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007\SDK Binaries\Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.Common.dll

The following task is to modify the probe’s configuration file.The probe files are located in C:\IBM\Tivoli\Netcool\omnibus\probes\win32 directory if you used the default installation folder. Modify the scom2007r2.props file by adding the following:

Server                        :       “AGG_P”
ServerBackup                  :       “AGG_B”
ConnectorName                    :       “Netcool probe”
ConnectorUser                    :       “youruser”
ConnectorPassword                :       “yourpassword”
ConnectorDomain                :       “yourdomain”
ScomHost                        :       “your_scom_hostname_or_ip”

probe-startedNow you should start the probe with the following command: C:\IBM\Tivoli\Netcool\omnibus\probes\win32\nco_p_scom2007_r2.exe If the probe stays running that means it has successfully connected to both the Object server and the SCOM 2007 Server.

Configure SCOM to work with the probe

netcool-connectorOnce the probe connects to the SCOM server successfully it will create the Netcool Probe product connector.

scom-groupsWe set up a group called netcool and assigned 2 Windows 2008 servers to it.

subsriptionsIf you need to filter on what nodes or events should hit the Probe, you can do so by setting up a groups and assigning them to the Netcool probe connector. Click on the Add button.

add-netcool-test-groupAssign a name to the Subscription then click Next.

approve-groups-scomSelect “netcool” from the groups list then click Next.

approve-targetsLeave the default option at the approve targets screen and click Next.

select-criteria-scomSelect the desired items you would like to have alerts raised for and click Create.

netcool-connectedThe subscription is now created and the events should start flowing across to Omnibus.

SCOM-events

Integrating Omnibus and PRTG using SNMP probe

This guide contains instructions for configuring PRTG Network Monitor software to send SNMP traps to a Omnibus.

Prerequisites:

  • working Omnibus instance
  • SNMP probe (mttrapd) installed and configured

More info on installing and configuring mttrapd.

First step is importing the MIB file.

PRTG Network monitor comes with a MIB file called PRTG-MIB.mib this file you can find in PRTG installation directory. Open mib manager utility to do the import.

/app/IBM/tivoli/netcool/omnibus/bin/nco_mibmanager

PRTG-MIB.mib is depending on SNMPv2-SMI , RFC-1215 and SNMPv2-TC  MIB files, so make sure they are accessible. (all of them are in the default MIB set of Omnibus)

As we see , the trap OID is 0.10  (1.3.6.1.4.1.32446.0.10) , and other attributes can be defined with OIDs 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4.

SNMP traps sent by PRTG always use SNMP V1 format. The following OIDs will be included in the trap:

1.3.6.1.4.1.32446.1.1.1: MessageID (as defined by the user in the Field “Message ID”)
1.3.6.1.4.1.32446.1.1.2: An integer representing the event that triggered the notification:
0 = State ended
1 = State started
2 = Volume reached
3 = Speed not reached
4 = Speed reached
5 = Threshold not reached
6 = Threshold reached
7 = Value changed
1.3.6.1.4.1.32446.1.1.3: The state of the object:
0 = None
1 = Unknown
2 = Collecting Data
3 = Up
4 = Warning
5 = Down
6 = No Probe
7 = Paused by User
8 = Paused by Dependency
9 = Paused by Schedule
10 = Unusual
11 = Paused by License
12 = Paused until
13 = Down (Acknowledged)
14 = Down (Partial)
1.3.6.1.4.1.32446.1.1.4: The message text of the notification as defined by the user.

Select the top level enterprise OID from OID browser, click export rules file. Select location for the rules file, and choose rules file type.

Select standalone if you use this SNMP source only, or Netcool knowledge library to export master rules and include rules for more kind of sources.

Now open PRTG Enterprise Console, and navigate to Setup -> Notifications  and create a new notification type clicking “add new notification” button.

Select “Send SNMP Trap” option, and enter connection info:

  • SNMP probe hostname or IP address
  • Port
  • Community string
  • Specific Trap Code  (10)
  • Message ID (used for filtering)
  • Message (configurable using PRTG specific parameters. See PRTG Help for info )

Save the notification and test it clicking “Test” button next to Notification you just created.

Now (if you’re lucky) an event pops up on Omnibus console.

This event is not formatted, ( fe.: Summary field is empty ) so you have to create mappings between PRTG Trap OID values and Omnibus fields. You can do it by editing the rules file you generated before.

Locate the following section :

And edit the Omnibus fields ( @Agent, @Summary, etc. ) enter the information what you want to present on your console. The values of the four OIDs sent with the trap are

  • 1.1 = $paesslerPrtgTrapID
  • 1.2 = $paesslerPrtgTrapEvent
  • 1.3 = $paesslerPrtgTrapSensorstate
  • 1.4 = $paesslerPrtgTrapMessage

In our example Summary field will contain the value of paesslerPrtgTrapMessage OID, but you can customize other fields as well.

Modifications Required on Omnibus Server

Extend the size of the Summary filed in the Alerts table from 255 to at least 1024 as PRTG sends long problem descriptions and it won’t fit into the 255 character default.

modsummaryIn order to make it work with the SNMP probe modify the probe’s def file located in /opt/IBM/tivoli/netcool/omnibus/var/

Replace the value from 255 to 1024:

Identifier 2 255 1
Serial 0 4 0
Node 2 64 0
NodeAlias 2 64 0
Manager 2 64 0
Agent 2 64 0
AlertGroup 2 255 0
AlertKey 2 255 0
Severity 0 4 0
Summary 2 1024 0
StateChange 1 4 0
FirstOccurrence 1 4 0
LastOccurrence 1 4 0
InternalLast 1 4 0
Poll 0 4 0

Restart the probe.

And the final result :

malloc(): memory corruption at DB2 installation on CentOS or Suse Linux

I spent quite a few hours to figure out what caused this error message. This appeared when I started db2setup on either OpenSUSE or CentOS. The error refers to a memory leak when in reality it is related to the location of the installer.

  • if the installer is located on a mounted filesystem this problem occurs.
  • If I copy the installation bundle locally to the server and kick off the installation from there it works without an error.

So before you go any further try copying the installation images locally to the server and see if it solves the issue.

The error message I got is shown below:

# ./db2setup

Installing IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0.3 on CentOS 7

As proof of concept today we are going to try to install IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0.3 on CentOS 7 which should be identical as the Red Hat Linux Server 7 ( RHEL ). We installed the 64bit version of CentOS using the KDE option on a virtual box VM. The Software Compatibility Matrix provided by IBM states a good couple of prerequisites. We installed these prereq. software and added a few on our own to make sure that the installation goes through without any problem.

Set the ip and the hostname in the /etc/hosts file. Either set up static ip or make sure that the DHCP rolls you the same ip all the time.

The following software was installed before the installation as a prerequsite:

The GNU C Library 32bit version this is required by GSkit to install correctly.
yum install glibc.i686

Korn Shell latest version, this is needed by the installer to run correctly.
yum install ksh

This package contains the pamlib.so which is required by the installer.
yum install pam.x86_64

In case you do not have the X installed on your CentOS box:

yum install libX11.x86_64
yum install libXfixes.x86_64
yum install libXi.x86_64

We needed all libstdc ( both 64 and 32 bit ones ) and all compat-libstdc++ ( 32 bit and 64 bit ones as well )

We performed a search to find the latest libraries…

-sh-4.2# yum search libstdc
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks

libstdc++-static.i686 : Static libraries for the GNU standard C++ library
libstdc++-static.x86_64 : Static libraries for the GNU standard C++ library

Name and summary matches only, use “search all” for everything.

… and performed the installation

yum install compat-libstdc++-33.i686
yum install compat-libstdc++-33.x86_64
yum install libstdc++.i686
yum install libstdc++.x86_64

We also needed to disable SeLinux as a prereq. by the installer. Edit vim /etc/sysconfig/selinux file and set the SELINUX parameter to disabled as shown below:

# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
#     enforcing – SELinux security policy is enforced.
#     permissive – SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
#     disabled – No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of three two values:
#     targeted – Targeted processes are protected,
#     minimum – Modification of targeted policy. Only selected processes are protected.
#     mls – Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted

Now all the required packages and libraries are installed we can go ahead and start the installation:

setarch $(uname -m) –uname-2.6

This command will put in a special shell where uname -r will show 2.6.xxx as a kernel version. Be prepared that all the prereq. checks will fail as CentOS is not a supported platform luckily you can still install the product regardless the failed prereqs.

As a base installation we will use the IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0.2 installation bundle then upgrade to 6.3.0.3 as there is no 6.3.0.3 stand alone installation package exists yet.

Now start the installation using the install.sh command:

-sh-4.2# ./install.sh

The Warehouse Proxy and/or the Summarization and Pruning agents are not started automatically after the upgrade is completed. Dependent upon the installed agents and the associated attribute groups enabled for historical collection and whether limited database permissions are granted to the warehouse user, a database administrator might need to use the Warehouse Publication Tool to generate a script with the necessary changes for the database. Information regarding these required steps can be found in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation and Setup Guide.

Error starting Integration Composer

SmartCloud Control Desk comes bundled with IBM Tivoli Integration Composer.  In case of SCCD version 7.5.3 , after installing ITIC it cannot be started.

If we run startFusion.sh , it stops with java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Examining the script we see it calls init.sh, which has a property called FSNBUILD. This is the version number of SCCD – referring to the IntegrationComposer####.jar (located in the workarea directory)

In ver. 7.5.3, we have workarea/IntegrationComposer7530.jar file and in init.sh FSNBUILD=7510. Changing FSNBUILD to 7530 in init.sh script solves the problem.

Relocating SCCD database

When we install SmartCloud Control Desk in a Unix/Linux box using middleware installer, it only asks for db instance user. (If we accept the default value, it’s ctginst1)

The installer then creates the user, and places the db in it’s home directory.

In lots of cases there is a dedicated filesystem to hold business critical data, ( and usually it’s not /home)  so we have to move database to that location.

db2relocatedb is the tool to use. First, copy/move  /home/ctginst1/ctginst1 directory to the new location (for eg.: /data/ctginst1 ), then create a config file for db2relocatedb. ( Keep in mind that we have to move tablespace containers as well )

so the command is:

db2relocatedb -f relocate.cfg

relocate.cfg is :

DB_NAME=maxdb75
DB_PATH=/home/ctginst1,/data/ctginst1
INSTANCE=ctginst1
STORAGE_PATH=/home//ctginst1/,/data/ctginst1/

(don’t forget, the instance should be stopped ! )

The locale codeset (cp1252) isn’t one that perl can decode…

We encountered this error while compiling a perl script:

The locale codeset (cp1252) isn’t one that perl can decode, stopped at Encode/Lo
cale.pm line 94. Compilation failed in require at LWP/UserAgent.pm line 1001.

The solution to this is to include the following use statement on the top of your script:

use Encode::Byte;

This will include the mentioned library in the complied exe file.

Perl lib version (5.20.2) doesn’t match executable ‘perl.exe’ version (5.20.1) at C:/Perl/lib/Config.pm line 62.

When using Active Perl 5.20.2 and PP to compile perl files we faced the following error:

Perl lib version (5.20.2) doesn’t match executable ‘perl.exe’ version (5.20.1) at C:/Perl/lib/Config.pm line 62.

/PAR/Packer.pm line 1158, line 1.

This apparently is a bug. The solution for us was to download and install Active Perl 5.20.1. Since this version is no longer available on the Activeperl website you can get it from download.com
