Email Alerts for change in BI 4.1CMC services

[former_member421797]

Hello Everyone,

I would like to find out how to set up email notification for change in services in CMC. We have been facing issues lately. Whenever SIA restarts, all the services start up automatically, but a few of them go into "Stop" state after some time and we have to manually start them. The option for "automatically start service when SIA restarts" is enabled in properties of all the services. To avoid logging into CMC to check to see if all the services are up and running, I would like to find out, if there's a way to get an email alerts whenever a service stops or restarts. This will help us not logging into CMC more frequently and will also help us in avoiding failures in reports due to stoppped services.

I have seen a few blogs that talk about Monitoring and even some from XIR2 and XI3.x, but none seemed helpful. I would appreciate any feedback on this.

Regards,

Raheel Asghar

You need to create a watch based on the metric named "Health State" as shown below for each BusinessObjects Service of your interest.

Refer my blog here to create the watch and setting up alerts

Hi Mani,

Thank you so much for your response. I followed all the steps exactly as explained in Part 2. I do receive an alert both in "Watchlist" and in "BI Launchpad". However, I am not receiving any email updates on the alert.

Here's the workflow I followed to enable email notification.

Under "watchlist" tab, I clicked on "Throttle and Notification"

Then I clicked on "Directory" under "Notification Settings"

Then I selected my name from "User/Group Name"

Then from "Alert Settings" drop down, I selected "Get email alert(Danger)" and clicked ok

Then "Save"

Could you please tell me if I missed any step?

Thanks in advance,

Raheel

Did you configure AJS to send emails? And also go to Applications -> Alerting application. Make sure you enabed ' Enable my alerts' and ' Enable Email' And also enter From address.

Make sure your email address is in the user properties or you can enter email address manually in Throttle and Notification section in Monitoring.

Hi Jawahar,

First of all, thanks so much for your feedback.

I was just wondering do we really have to go through all these steps? I mean, shouldn't it be a little simpler. All we need is when a service is down, get the system to send an email.

Raheel

These steps are mandatory to send emails from BO server. without this configuration, System will not know what to do.

"shouldn't it be a little simpler. All we need is when a service is down, get the system to send an email."

I have to agree with you on this.  I have configure the BI4.1 to monitoring the Servers' health on WARNING and ERROR status and have the Alert to email me the email notification whenever any of the server is having trouble or goes down.

The thing is that monitoring and alerts are not complete by default from a fresh BI4.1 installation, and that requires some study on BI4.1 Admin guide and trial and error to get it right and, then, write your own rules on WARNING and ERROR for the rest of the servers that are not covered from the initial installation setup and edit/rewrite some of the servers.  For example, this my steps to edit Watches and Probes.

- CMC -> Monitoring

- edit Watch rules for APS.LCM, APS.WebI, InputFileRepository, OutputFileRepository, WebApplicationContainerServer, and WebIntelligenceProcessingServer, etc.

With this said, comparing to Tableau v.91, all you need is to check "Select Send email alerts for server health issues" checkbox in Tableau Server Configuration. So, like you said, "shouldn't it be a little simpler" in BI4.x?

Hi Raheel,

Well from the BO side you can use the monitoring tool to monitor the health/status/metrics of all of the BO services.

There are multiple third party softwares in the market which are being used by many others to monitor all of the BO services. These tools will email if anyone of the BO services is down/up.

[former_member421797]

Thanks Swapnil. Can you please name some of the third party tools that are available in the market for this purpose? And also, which ones do you recommend. I would really appreciate that.
