A very short post this time… The metric ‘swap utilisation (%)’ on the node where Oracle Enterprise Manager resides, shows permanently a very hig value.
Red Hat Linux, 64-bits, 32GB RAM, 4GB swap.

Agent (10.2.0.4) crashes – on a site (64-bit) with many databases (10.2.0.3) a lot, intermittently – , too many open files, emagent.trc gives ‘health check’ error
Agent gave messages – in the past – like this:
Number files opened by Agent is 1140.
These files appeared to be the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/hc<instance>_.dat which is loaded a lot in memory.

Noticed that the following error was popping up in the emagent.trc of a 10.2.04 – Grid Control-agent on a specific node, every 5 seconds. Annoying, unnecessary:
