Rhino Alarm List

rhino.uncaught-exception

An uncaught exception has been detected.

rhino.ah.snapshot-age

The oldest activity handler snapshot is too old.

rhino.node-failure

A node left the cluster for some reason other than a management-initiated shutdown.

rhino.config.save-error

An error occurred while trying to write the file-based configuration for the configuration type specified in the alarm instance.

rhino.config.read-error

An error occurred while trying to read the file-based configuration for the configuration type specified in the alarm instance. Rhino will use defaults from defaults.xml, move the broken configuration aside, and overwrite the config file.

rhino.config.activation-failure

An error occurred while trying to activate the file-based configuration for the configuration type specified in the alarm instance. Rhino will use defaults from defaults.xml, move the broken configuration aside, and overwrite the config file.

rhino.database.no-persistence-config

A persistence resource configuration referenced in rhino-config.xml has been removed at runtime.

rhino.database.no-persistence-instances

A persistence resource configuration referenced in rhino-config.xml has no persistence instances configured, or no configured persistence instances could be instantiated.

rhino.database.persistence-instance-instantiation-failure

Rhino requires a backing database for persistence of state for failure recovery purposes. A persistent instance defines a connection to a database backend. If the persistent instance cannot be instantiated then that connection cannot be made and state cannot be persisted to that instance.

rhino.database.connection-lost

Rhino requires a backing database for persistence of state for failure recovery purposes. If no connection to the database backend is available, state cannot be persisted.

rhino.jdbc.persistence-instance-instantiation-failure

A persistent instance defines the connection to the database backend. If the persistent instance cannot be instantiated then JDBC connections cannot be made.

rhino.state.unlicensed-service

A licensing problem was detected during service activation at startup.

rhino.state.unlicensed-raentity

A licensing problem was detected during resource adaptor entity activation.

rhino.license.over-limit

Rate limiter throttling is active. This throttling and hence this alarm only happens in SDK versions of Rhino, not production versions.

A license installed in Rhino has passed its expiry time.

rhino.license.pending-expiry

A license installed in Rhino is within seven days of its expiry time.

rhino.license.partially-licensed-host

The hardware addresses listed in a host-based license only partially match those on the host.

rhino.mlet.registration-failure

The M-Let starter component could not register an MBean for a configured m-let. This normally indicates an error in the m-let configuration file.

rhino.rem.missing

This version of Rhino is supposed to contain an embedded instance of REM but it was not found, most likely due to a packaging error.

rhino.rem.startup

There was an unexpected problem while starting the embedded REM. This could be because of a port conflict or packaging problem.

rhino.snmp.bind-failure

The SNMP agent attempts to bind a UDP port on each configured SNMP interface to receive requests. If no ports could be bound, the SNMP agent cannot process any SNMP requests.

rhino.snmp.partial-failure

The SNMP agent attempts to bind a UDP port on each configured SNMP interface to receive requests. If this succeeds on some (but not all) interfaces, the SNMP agent can only process requests received via the interfaces that succeeded.

rhino.snmp.general-failure

This is a catchall alarm for unexpected failures during agent startup. If an unexpected failure occurs, the state of the SNMP agent is unpredictable and requests may not be successfully processed.

rhino.snmp.notification-address-failure

This alarm represents a failure to determine an address from the notification target configuration. This can occur if the notification hostname is not resolvable, or if the specified hostname is not parseable.
