I have a need to develop some database reports that are mailed out at
regular intervals for management.  These reports need to be geared more
to a management position with 'eye candy' - you know, charts, graphs,
pretty colors. ;)
 
Anyway, I was looking at Grid Control 10.2.0.4 which we have and wasn't
really satisfied with the reporting functionality from that point of
view.
 
I want to capture metrics such as CPU Usage, disk space usage/growth,
concurrent users and disk space used by backups (more of a physical
server specific report).
 
So, I need some suggestions from people who have this type of reporting
setup.  What product or custom solution did you use?  What metrics are
you capturing?  I'm just getting started down this road and am looking
for ideas and possible solutions.
 
I'm not much of a developer - I can do some PL/SQL and maybe a little
VB.Net (with some help from our developers).
 
Thoughts/Ideas?
