The Mail NNTP Service monitors the availability, performance and usage of the NNTP functionality provided by the underlying Mail system.
The Messages category provides information about messages.
This metric shows the number of messages posted on the NNTP Server. The value is the sum of all the messages posted on the NNTP Redundancy Group.
Metric Summary
The following table shows how often the metric's value is collected.
Target Version | Evaluation and Collection Frequency |
---|---|
Version 1.0 | Every 15 minutes |
This metric shows the number of messages retrieved from the NNTP Server. The value is the sum of all the messages retrieved from the NNTP Redundancy Group.
Metric Summary
The following table shows how often the metric's value is collected.
Target Version | Evaluation and Collection Frequency |
---|---|
Version 1.0 | Every 15 minutes |
The Network category provides information about the connections on the NNTP Server.
This metric shows the total number of connections open on the NNTP Server. The value is the sum of all open connections for NNTP Redundancy Group.
Metric Summary
The following table shows how often the metric's value is collected.
Target Version | Evaluation and Collection Frequency |
---|---|
Version 1.0 | Every 15 minutes |
The NNTP Response category captures the response characteristics of the Oracle Mail NNTP service as seen by a client application.
Note: For target version 1.0, the collection frequency for each metric is every 15 minutes. |
The following table lists the metrics and their descriptions.
Table 66-1 NNTP Response Metrics
Metric | Description |
---|---|
[NNTP] Connect Time (ms) |
Time taken for the NNTP server to accept a network connection from a client. It is also indicative of the performance of the Oracle Net Services Listener. The connection time is the value determined by the Beacon(s) monitoring this service. The Beacon(s) is(are) responsible for executing the perl script to ping the host and determine the total connection time. If multiple Beacons are monitoring this service, the value displayed is the average of all the values determined by all the Beacons. |
[NNTP] Status |
Indicates whether or not clients are able to access emails through the NNTP Service. The availability depends upon the status determined by the Beacon monitoring this service. If the Status of Mail NNTP Service is down, then check the results obtained by Root Cause Analysis on the Mail NNTP Service Home Page. |
[NNTP] Status Message |
Describes the status of the messages. The status depends upon the status determined by the Beacon monitoring this service. |
[NNTP] Time to post news article (ms) |
Time taken to post a message to a newsgroup through the NNTP server. This metric is also indicative of database performance because news messages are stored in the Oracle Collaboration Suite Database (mailstore). The time taken is the value determined by the Beacon(s) monitoring this service. The Beacon(s) is(are) responsible for executing the perl script to ping the host and determine the total time. If multiple Beacons are monitoring this service, the value displayed is the average of all the values determined by all the Beacons. |
[NNTP] Time to retrieve news article (ms) |
Time taken to retrieve a message from the Oracle Collaboration Suite Database (mailstore) through the NNTP server. This metric is also indicative of database performance. The time taken is the value determined by the Beacon(s) monitoring this service. The Beacon(s) is(are) responsible for executing the perl script to ping the host and determine the total time. If multiple Beacons are monitoring this service, the value displayed is the average of all the values determined by all the Beacons. |
[NNTP] Total Time (ms) |
Total time taken to connect (to the NNTP Server), send, and receive a message. The total time taken is the value determined by the Beacon(s) monitoring this service. The Beacon(s) is(are) responsible for executing the perl script to ping the host and determine the total time. If multiple Beacons are monitoring this service, the value displayed is the average of all the values determined by all the Beacons. |
The Response category captures the response characteristics of the Oracle Mail NNTP service as seen by a client application.
This metric indicates whether or not clients are able to access emails through the NNTP Service. The availability of NNTP Service depends upon the status determined by the Beacon monitoring this service.
User Action
If the Status of Mail NNTP Service is down, then check the results obtained by Root Cause Analysis on the Mail NNTP Service Home Page.
