    I have .tnsnames.ora file in my local home directory

    [vlltcmpsswtdap01.atldev.com]/home/swdev/istnetxms/agent205/netxms/log> cd
    [vlltcmpsswtdap01.atldev.com]/home/swdev>

    [vlltcmpsswtdap01.atldev.com]/home/swdev> ls -ltra | grep tns
    -rw-rw-r--  1 swdev swdev    375 Nov 30 15:47 .tnsnames.ora

    I have following entry in .tnsnames.ora

    MPSDEV1 =
      (DESCRIPTION =
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = lltcdevoda1-scan)(PORT = 1521))
        (CONNECT_DATA =
          (SERVER = DEDICATED)
          (SERVICE_NAME = mpsdev1)
        )
      )

    Using DBQuery I am tring to connect to above database

    I gave following entry in agent configuration file

    *DBQUERY
    Database = id=MPSDEV1;driver=oracle.ddr;server=10.7.68.65;login=Netxms;Password=mpsdev
    Query = query1:MPSDEV1:5:SELECT count(*) FROM containers

    when I started agent I got following error

    [15-Dec-2015 00:27:51.709] [WARN ] DBQUERY: cannot connect to database MPSDEV1 (ORA-12504: TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA)
    [15-Dec-2015 00:27:51.709] [DEBUG] DBQUERY: Query::poll(query1): no connection handle for database MPSDEV1

    I tried giving id as SID also

    *DBQUERY
    Database = id=mpsdev1;driver=oracle.ddr;server=10.7.68.65;login=Netxms;Password=mpsdev
    Query = query1:mpsdev1:5:SELECT count(*) FROM containers

    But still I got same error in debug file

    [WARN ] DBQUERY: cannot connect to database mpsdev1 (ORA-12504: TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA)
    [DEBUG] DBQUERY: Query::poll(query1): no connection handle for database mpsdev1

    For setting up subagent I refered to example given in admin guide, is the info given in admin guide is correct ? what I am missing in subagent configuration
    why DBQUERY subagent could not identify the TNS entry ?

    ---------------------------------------
    Configuration Example
    # This sample nxagentd.conf instructs agent to:
    # 1. load DBQuery subagent
    # 2. Define two databases - db1 (Oracle) and db2 (MySQL).
    # 3. Execute query "SELECT f1 FROM table1" in database db1 every 60 seconds
    # 4. Execute query "SELECT f1 FROM table2 WHERE f2 LIKE ':%'" on DSN2 every 15 seconds
    MasterServers = netxms.demo
    SubAgent = dbquery.nsm
    *DBQUERY
    Database = id=db1;driver=oracle.ddr;server=10.0.0.2;login=netxms;encryptedPassword=H02kxYckADXCpgp+
    Database = id=db2;driver=mysql.ddr;server=10.0.0.4;dbname=test_db;login=netxms;password=netxms1
    Query = query1:db1:60:SELECT f1 FROM table1
    Query = query2:db2:15:SELECT f1 FROM table2 WHERE f2 LIKE ':%'
    ConfigurableQuery = query3:db2:Comment in param:SELECT name FROM images WHERE name like ?

      I think guide is wrong. Don't have access to oracle right now so can't check, but it should be like this (if environment is set correctly and "sqlplus Netxms/mpsdev@MPSDEV1" connects successfully):

      Database = id=mpsdev1;driver=oracle.ddr;server=MPSDEV1;login=Netxms;Password=mpsdev

      or you can use instant client connection string without tnsnames:

      Database = id=mpsdev1;driver=oracle.ddr;server=//lltcdevoda1-scan:1521/mpsdev1;login=Netxms;Password=mpsdev

      or you can even use full connection string there (haven't tried that, but should work as well):
      Database = id=mpsdev1;driver=oracle.ddr;server=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=lltcdevoda1-scan)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=mpsdev1)));login=Netxms;Password=mpsdev
