Having my url redirect to http://www.quest.com?
I'm a long way from that...
:o)
Besides all the big boys are spending their time *trying* to "sell" (notice I
didn't say "develop") a Enterprises product that will monitor, report, graph,
and alert from client session all the way to the disk drive.
I have only seen one come close and think there are a lot free-ware tools that
do 75% of what commercial if charging big bucks for?

Chris,
A nice collection of handy "tools" and displays. Thanks for sharing it with
us.
Are you trying to go the way of EZSQL, or TORA? Good luck.
Ron

Janine,
Over the last 2 1/2 years I have been working on my own "Oracle Monitoring &
Alerting" program called "HEYMONitor".
I have used it myself for two different clients and works very well.
HEYMONitor keeps me well informed about what bad things are happening to the
database when I'm not looking at it.
As the web site indicates, HEYMONitor is not a "dashed board" program like
Spotlight...I use Spotlight everyday and would never give it up, but rather
HEYMONitor will Alert me when it is time to look at Spotlight or get a SQL*Plus
session going.
HEYMONitor is very Oracle centric both in design and use, but your an Oracle
DBA, so that is good! ;o)
I say that because many of my very good SysAdmin's tell me they (their tools)
"look" to see if my Oracle process are "up".
We as DBA know that an Oracle database can be up, but totally unusable. I also
have SysAdmin friends that show me the power of other very good enterprise
based Monitoring & Alerting tools. These are great tools but I have to install
them and most are just very good "parse" tools...I have to write the advanced
code logic to determine what is going on internally with my Oracle
databases...so I just wrote my own tool.
I'm a full time DBA and part-time (barely-time) developer. So HEYMONitor has a
couple of small issues and a lot I would like to add or modify, but again I
rely on it everyday and am able to know the availability of my databases.
I will send you off line an old picture of my email Inbox that shows the
logical chain of events caught by HEYMONitor as a RAC database spirals out of
control and terminates.
The HEYMONitor Server software (TAR) and information can be found at
HEYMONitor.com.
About HEYMONitor*
HEYMONitor* is a freeware "Oracle Monitoring & Alerting Solution" Program.
HEYMONitor* can Monitor & Alert for Oracle PROCESSES, DATABASE, and LOG FILES.
Once installed and configured it will take only minutes to add A
Remote Oracle Database for total Oracle Monitoring & Alerting.

hth, Good Luck and let me know what you think.

I would be happy to beta-test any releases you care to put together, if
you decide to go ahead. What I need is something similar to Karma,
that will warn me if something is amiss.
