Michael New - GC maven - has out ISBN 978-0-07-149275-1 this Jan2009 from O-McG-H. Chapter 6 does the Agent Deploy system. Ch. 7 covers 5-count-em-5 alternatives to the AD. Sounds like the way to Debian is in there somewhere. 752 pages and you're 489 pages in to reach actually using GC for something. ;^) Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2009 12:30:03 +0100 From: "Ingrid Voigt" <giantpanda@xxxxxxx> Subject: GridControlAgent on Debian is it possible to install an EM Grid Control Agent (10.2.0.4) on Debian 4? runInstaller complains about an uncertified operating system and exits, but maybe there is a workaround? We'd like to try some monitoring of a MySQL server with Oracle tools (i.e. GridControlAgent + MySQL plugin). Using a remotely installed agent did work, but killed performance on the agent host, so the idea was abandoned.
