Vipaka is a newer version of Karma by Sean Hull, which is a monitoring tool designed for Oracle Databases.
Vipaka is a fantastic update to the Karma tool that enables you to monitor multiple Oracle Databases from just one interface. This makes it an essential tool for any database administrator looking to streamline their workflow. To start using Vipaka, simply edit the config file, basic.conf, to include the databases you wish to connect to. After editing the config file, you will need to set the $VIPAKA_HOME environment variable to specify where Vipaka should look for the vipaka.conf file.
Once you've edited the config file and specified the location of the vipaka.conf file, you can start running Vipaka by launching the vipakad daemon. You can do this from the command line by using the "$ bin/vipakactl -s -c vipaka.conf" command. Alternatively, you can use the -h option for help.
Vipaka comes equipped with several file descriptions, including vipakactl, vipakad, vipaka.pm, basic.conf, prefgroups.conf, vipaka.conf, doc_root/images, doc_root/help, doc_root/info, doc_root/docs, and sql/vipaka_user.sql. These files contain everything you need to get started with Vipaka, including static HTML help files, an online HTML documentation folder, and auxiliary SQL scripts for creating a read-only "vipaka" user to run the tool as.
The doc_root folder is an essential component of Vipaka as it's where your HTML files will be generated. If you plan on using Vipaka with a webserver, you'll need to place the doc_root folder in your web doc_root and name it "vipaka". You can use the -k option to vipakactl to specify its location or the doc_root directive in your config file.
Overall, Vipaka is a must-have tool for any database administrator who wants to save time and streamline their database monitoring process. With its user-friendly interface and intuitive layout, Vipaka is sure to become an essential tool in your database management arsenal.
