21.5 SSO Status Metric

The SSO Status metrics allow you to monitor the status of the OracleAS Single Sign-On Server.

21.5.1 Status

Indicates whether the Single Sign-On Server is accessible.

Metric Summary

The following table shows how often the metric's value is collected and compared against the default thresholds. The 'Consecutive Number of Occurrences Preceding Notification' column indicates the consecutive number of times the comparison against thresholds should hold TRUE before an alert is generated.

Table 21-5 Metric Summary Table

Target Version	Evaluation and Collection Frequency	Upload Frequency	Operator	Default Warning Threshold	Default Critical Threshold	Consecutive Number of Occurrences Preceding Notification	Alert Text
All Versions	Every 5 Minutes	After Every 12 Samples	=	Not Defined	0	1	The SSO instance is not accessible.

Data Source

This status test involves pinging a package on the Single Sign-On Server schema using mod_plsql.

User Action

If this status test fails, it indicates that there is an issue with one or more of the components that the Single Sign-On Server depends on. For example, the Single Sign-On Server Database Access Descriptor (DAD) may have an incorrect password, the Oracle HTTP Server may be down, or the Oracle Database the schema is running on may be unaccessible.
