VM_IN_BYTES and VM_OUT_BYTES were too high in 11g,why

741444Mar 9 2011 — edited Mar 10 2011
I found VM_IN_BYTES and VM_OUT_BYTES were too high in 11g.
I ran select * from V$OSSTAT , and saw
VM_IN_BYTES 5.02045853336388E17
VM_OUT_BYTES 2.22505966581948E17
I ran SELECT * FROM DBA_HIST_OSSTAT where value >= 100000000000000000 and rownum<1000 order by stat_name; and saw
...
VM_IN_BYTES 1.02106633154393E19
VM_IN_BYTES 4.68272347425629E18
VM_IN_BYTES 1.65548805720707E19
VM_IN_BYTES 2.14278122328326E18
VM_IN_BYTES 1.0692337352256E19
VM_IN_BYTES 1.48877218811052E19
VM_OUT_BYTES 1.00680080339231E18
VM_OUT_BYTES 1.00227961158344E18
VM_OUT_BYTES 1.00347588023529E18
VM_OUT_BYTES 1.00321199744519E18
VM_OUT_BYTES 1.00810262508321E18
VM_OUT_BYTES 1.00150555537094E18
...

The environment is windows server 2003 x64, Oracle 11g, memory 6G.
I think these values for VM_IN_BYTES and VM_OUT_BYTES were too high and unreasonable.
Who can tell me why?
Thank you very much!

In the configuration page where you provide SMTP server and port number details, you will need to use the mail server of your organization instead of using gmail and yahoo.com. You will need to setup your own mail server if you dont have one.

Hi Amit,

Thanks for your response. I have tried my organization SMTP server as well and getting the same error. But in theory it should work with any valid SAMP sever.

See the example below,which worked with gmail.

Hi Amilt,

Thanks again. I executed Google STARTTLS from the above link, and then run the agent. I am still getting the same error.

Hi,

I have at least found where the error is. I think error is in SMTP server, need to find out what. I have created a mail at Gmx.com (as Nico suggested) and used it in the mail config. Its working fine.

Amit, I have awarded you points as Helpful answer.

Thanks.
Amith Y
Jorge,

I was about to suggest you to do the same. Thanks for the points.

Cheers,
Amith.

This happens because the SMTP server does not accept authentication.

You need to remove the user and password from credentials.

This link shows how to remove the credentials, because there is a bug that does not permit you erase user and password:
