There is a bug on Oracle’s JDBC driver.
Oracle has been published a note about here there is an extract:
Applies to:
JDBC – Version: 11.2.0.1 and later [Release: 11.2 and later ]
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Symptoms
A standalone java application connects to a version 10.2.0.4 database via JDBC/Thin 11.2.0.1. The application runs on several machines. The machines have different Unix operating
systems.
Consistently, when trying to connect to the database, the application running on one specific machine fails with:java.sqI.SQLException: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01882: timezone region not found
An errorstack trace for ORA-01882 identifies the failing statement.
ksedmp: internal or fatal error
ORA-01882: timezone region not found
Current SQL statement for this session:
ALTER SESSION SET TIME_ZONE=’Africa/Lome’ NLS LANGUAGE = ‘AMERICAN’
NLS TERRITORY=’AMERICA’David has kindly advice a workaround
add the following to run.sh:
“-Duser.timezone=GMT”
Of course you should use your own GMT region
Orabbix 1.2.2 has been released!!
On this release:
- Added the following parameter on main configuration file:
- DefaultUser = <USERNAME>
- DefaultPassword = <PASSWORD>
- <DB_NAME>.ExtraQueryListFile = <relative path to extra query file>
- on query’s properties file I’ve added the following parameter:
- <QUERY_NAME>.WhenNotAlive = <VALUE>
You can download it here
Complete changelog here::
1.2.2
Added the following parameters in the main configuration file:
- DefaultUser = <USERNAME>
- DefaultPassword = <PASSWORD>
- <DB_NAME>.ExtraQueryListFile =
on query’s properties file I’ve added the following parameter:
- <QUERY_NAME>.WhenNotAlive = <VALUE>
with these parameters you can define a default username and password for all databases.
- DefaultUser = <USERNAME>
- DefaultPassword = <PASSWORD>
this default parameter can be overridden using the following pair:
- <DB_NAME>.User and <DB_NAME>.User
It is possible to override only Username or Password.
the following parameter
- <DB_NAME>.ExtraQueryListFile =
adds another custom query to a default query file.
if there are duplicate the ExtraQueryListFile it will override them.
the following parameter
- <QUERY_NAME>.WhenNotAlive = <VALUE>
is used to specify a value or a string to send if a database is not working,
doing so you are going to “clean” the graphs generated in Zabbix with a “set” value.
This fixes the issue introduced by “Zabbix Trapper”:
- if Zabbix don’t receive data the graphs don’t change anymore.
