Yes, in OEM you can create a user-defined SQL test. Yes, it monitors disk space, node up/down, CPU utilization, etc. I currently have OEM monitoring 8 servers and about 15 databases. Some problems I've encountered are hanging Intelligent Agents- have to restart them and then they send tons of queued alerts at once. Also, some difficulty with sending alerts to pagers and cell phones (email works fine though). When it works properly, it's a nifty tool that can save you time developing your own tools. However, given the problems I've had so far, I use redundant monitoring scripts for disk space and other vital stats. If you've paid for Enterprise Edition, it may be worth experimenting with to see if it works in your environment. Best regards, David B.
