Well, I would love to try it, and I'm actually downloading it for our testing 
environment, however IT Security Dept and Middle Management rejected my 
proposal to implement rrdtool even for testing and development dbs. Apparently 
Open Source does not go well with the company. We do have some pretty excel 
spreadsheets which unfortunately I'm not allowed to share that generate pretty 
graphs. I'll be looking into Tanel's spreadsheet since it seems rather advanced.

Still, I don't want to start a flame war here, but I think most 'large' 
companies choose not to use open source software for their 'productive' 
environments. (still, I have custom PL/SQL executing on all databases in order 
to keep them checked, since the 'official' monitoring tool rarely works well 
and is usually missconfigured)

Anyway, I've developed a shell script that generates data sources and custom 
scripts for each database taking into account defined thresholds for reach 
monitored statistic and it works rather well. I'm working on generating metrics 
based on those statistics, but that is taking a bit more effort since I first 
have to tune the stats gathering sql. Also, the user interface is an APEX based 
application with svg graphs, it works flawlessly with both IE and Firefox 
(haven't tried it on other browsers).

Guys ,

Thanks a ton for all your valuable replies . I was surprised to see no one 
using rrdtool . 
I thought it is widely used by oracle community . Would like to know if anyone 
is using RRDTOOL ?!!!

Hi Tanel , Many thanks for that excel . Let me try that too .
