2.3. Monitoring the Satellite

In Oracle databases, check on a regular basis that the tablespaces have free space:

su - oracle
db-control report

This will print out current tablespace usage, for example:

Tablespace    Size  Used Avail  Use%
DATA_TBS      4.8G 3.9G  996M   80%
SYSTEM        250M 116M  133M   46%
TOOLS         128M 3M    124M   2%
UNDO_TBS      1000M 61M  938M   6%
USERS         128M 64K   127M   0%

If a tablespace is filling up – extend it by running:

db-control extend tablespace

To verify that all Satellite processes are working run:

rhn-satellite status
