This is a list of all alarms raised by this version of Rhino. For the management command that lists all alarms that may be raised by Rhino and installed components see Runtime Alarm List.

Alarm Type Description

Category: AbnormalExecution (Alarms raised as a result of an abnormal execution condition being detected)

rhino.uncaught-exception

An uncaught exception has been detected.

Category: Activity Handler (Alarms raised by Rhino activity handler)

rhino.ah.snapshot-age

The oldest activity handler snapshot is too old.

Category: Cassandra Key/Value Store (Alarms raised by the Cassandra key/value store)

rhino.cassandra-kv-store.no-nodes-available

All database nodes for all persistence instances have failed or are otherwise unreachable.

rhino.cassandra-kv-store.connection-error

The local database driver cannot connect to the configured persistence instance.

rhino.cassandra-kv-store.db-node-failure

State generated for new transactions will be ignored by the key/value store and not buffered for persisting until sufficient state has been persisted to reduce the pending size volume below the limit again

rhino.cassandra-kv-store.scan-persist-time-threshold-reached

The allowed pending transaction scan or persist time has exceeded the configured thresholds due to overload. State generated for new transactions will be ignored by the key/value store and not buffered for persisting until sufficient state has been persisted to reduce the load on the pending transaction scanner

Category: Cassandra Session Ownership Store (Alarms raised by the Cassandra session ownership store)

rhino.cassandra-session-ownership-store.no-nodes-available

All database nodes for all persistence instances have failed or are otherwise unreachable.

rhino.cassandra-session-ownership-store.connection-error

The local database driver cannot connect to the configured persistence instance.

rhino.cassandra-session-ownership-store.db-node-failure

The local database driver cannot connect to a database node.

Category: Cluster Clock Synchronisation (Alarms raised by the cluster clock synchronisation monitor)

rhino.monitoring.clocksync

Another cluster node is reporting a system clock deviation relative to the local node beyond the maximum permitted threshold. The status of external processes maintaining the system clock on that node (eg. NTP) should be checked.

Category: Clustering (Alarms raised by Rhino cluster state changes)

rhino.node-failure

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

Category: Configuration Management (Alarms raised by the Rhino configuration manager)

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.

Category: Database (Alarms raised during database communications)

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.

Category: GroupRMI (Alarms raised by the GroupRMI server)

rhino.group-rmi.dangling-transaction

A group RMI invocation completed without committing or rolling back a transaction that it started. The dangling transaction will be automatically rolled back by the group RMI server to prevent future issues but these occurrences are software bugs that should be reported.

Category: Key/Value Store (Alarms raised by key/value store persistence resource managers)

rhino.kv-store.no-persistence-config

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

rhino.kv-store.no-persistence-instances

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

rhino.license.expired

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 M-Let starter component could not register itself with the platform MBean server. This normally indicates a serious JVM misconfiguration.

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.

Category: REM Startup (Alarms raised by embedded REM starter)

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.

Category: Remote Timer Server (Alarms raised by the remote timer server)

rhino.remote-timer-server.bind-error

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.
