Monitoring Exadata Storage Cells - Oracle Exadata Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach - page 375

As you can see, CL_CPUT represents the CPU utilization of the storage cell. The attributes displayed are the same
as those reported from the describe metricdefinition CellCLI command. Next, use the attributes clause to
display a subset of your metric's attributes:
CellCLI> list metricdefinition CL_CPUT attributes name,metricType,objectType
CL_CPUT Instantaneous CELL
CellCLI>
Metric Object Types
Each Exadata Storage Server metric is associated with a specific object type and is assigned to an objectType
attribute. The objectType attribute specifies which Exadata component the metric is related to. To display a list of
distinct metric objectType attributes, run the following cellcli command:
[celladmin@cm01cel01 ~]$ cellcli -e list metricdefinition attributes objectType|sort -u
CELL
CELLDISK
CELL_FILESYSTEM
FLASHCACHE
FLASHLOG
GRIDDISK
HOST_INTERCONNECT
IORM_CATEGORY
IORM_CONSUMER_GROUP
IORM_DATABASE
[celladmin@cm01cel01 ~]$
Each objectType name is relatively self-explanatory. Using the CL_CPUT metric example above, you can
expand on this to list each metric associated with the CELL objectType attribute by adding the following where
objectType clause:
CellCLI> list metricdefinition attributes name,metricType,description where objectType='CELL'
CL_BBU_CHARGE Instantaneous "Disk Controller Battery Charge"
CL_BBU_TEMP Instantaneous "Disk Controller Battery Temperature"
CL_CPUT Instantaneous "Percentage of time over the previous minute that the system
CPUs were not idle."
CL_CPUT_CS Instantaneous "Percentage of CPU time used by CELLSRV"
CL_CPUT_MS Instantaneous "Percentage of CPU time used by MS"
... Additional CELL metrics omitted
The metriccurrent Object
Now that you have an understanding of the metricdefinition object and its attributes, run the following describe
command to show the object definition of the metriccurrent object:
CellCLI> describe metriccurrent
name
alertState
collectionTime
metricObjectName
