Unreliable, unstable, resource intensive, very difficult to install and maintain (OEM 10g Grid Control), lesser level of support via MetaLink (my observation)... Need I go on as to why not OEM? I do use Spotlight occasionally and I like it, but I don't think it's necessarily a good tool to have running all the time, depending on your DBs. There's also a free version of the web-based Big Brother (now also owned by Quest) available at http://bb4.org , but I haven't used it in a while. And if I ever get back to writing my Perl/tk Oracle monitor, now defunct for over a year, there'll be another... ;) Rich -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of rjamya Sent: Friday, July 15, 2005 10:29 AM To: smishra_97@xxxxxxxxx Cc: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Oracle Free Monitoring link TORA for linux ... it is basic but free ... why not OEM?

Is there any URL where I can download and configure to monitor some of the Oracle / other database which can provide graphical interface. Thanks Sanjay
