Various metrics in the 'Sensors' collection, for example the 'FanSpeedSensors' metric, do not have Execution descriptors defined when the
MetricSource dynamic property is 'direct'.
  - Targets with MetricSource 'direct' use PushDescriptors
  - Targets with MetricSource 'opscenter' use ExecutionDescriptors

Created from <SR 3-7582031331>

Applies to:

Enterprise Manager for Exadata - Version 12.1.0.3.0 and later
Oracle Exadata Hardware - Version 11.2.0.3 and later
Exadata Database Machine V2 - Version All Versions and later
Enterprise Manager Base Platform - Version 12.1.0.3.0 and later
Exalytics In-Memory Machine X3-4 - Version All Versions and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.
As well the the 'FanSpeedSensors' metric the following other sensor metrics are known to see this as well:

AggregateSensors
VoltageSensors
TemperatureSensors


Symptoms

You will see warning messages for the ibswitch in the Enterprise Manager under Monitoring ==>> Metrics Issues you will see the Oracle Infiniband Switch reporting errors on the Metrics for:

FanSpeedSensors
AggregateSensors
VoltageSensors
TemperatureSensors

 

If you check the gcagent.log, usually under <AGENT_INST>/sysman/log directory,  you will see messages as follows in the agent log gcagent.log:

WARN - oracle_ibswitch:dm01sw-iba0.oracle.com:Sensors:AggregateSensors
oracle.sysman.emSDK.agent.fetchlet.exception.FetchletException: Can't get query descriptor or execution descriptor

WARN - oracle_ibswitch:dm01sw-iba0.oracle.com:Sensors:VoltageSensors
oracle.sysman.emSDK.agent.fetchlet.exception.FetchletException: Can't get query descriptor or execution descriptor

WARN - oracle_ibswitch:dm01sw-iba0.oracle.com:Sensors:TemperatureSensors
oracle.sysman.emSDK.agent.fetchlet.exception.FetchletException: Can't get query descriptor or execution descriptor

WARN - oracle_ibswitch:dm01sw-iba0..oracle.com:Sensors:FanSpeedSensors
oracle.sysman.emSDK.agent.fetchlet.exception.FetchletException: Can't get query descriptor or execution descriptor

 

 The switch name - dm01sw-iba0.oracle.com - will reflect your environment.

 

 

Cause

This is due to unpublished Bug 14362799 - SENSOR METRICS BEING COLLECTED IN DIRECT MODE LEADING TO ERROR.

Metrics can be collected in different ways, direct and opscenter, in some cases for the direct collection method, we do not find the execution descriptor triggering the error

"Can't get query descriptor or execution descriptor"

 

Solution

There is no known workaround for this issue.

 

The fix for this is included in the 12.1.0.4 Exadata Plugin. To get this latest Exadata Plugin the EM Base version (OMS) must be at least 12.1.0.3.
