What is this concept of being "too dependent upon Grid Control"?  I don't 
understand.  ;)

Seriously, while I know it's too early for most folks, have a look at the 
Performance screens in EM Express.  All you gotta do is migrate all your 
databases to DB12c, and I just KNOW you're planning that already!  :)

Subject: Tools/monitoring question

I have come to the realization I've become a little too dependent upon Grid 
Control for giving me a "quick overview" of system performance.  Those colorful 
graphs are like DBA crack ;) So let's say Grid is down or I'm in an environment 
where Grid is not available.  I'm pretty good with SQL but I still like that 
overview that Grid gives me where I can quickly identify "blips" related to 
performance.

I'm curious what tools/scripts you guys have in your toolboxes to give you a 
quick overview when your favorite tool is unavailable.  I have several tools in 
my toolbox as well, but nothing quite as good as Grid when it comes to giving 
me that "big picture" view to quickly see issues that are impacting users.

I do have Spotlight available but we haven't configured it and I'm not entirely 
sure I want to go that route as it adds objects to the database. I have Toad as 
well but I'm really thinking along the lines of SQL scripts would be handy.

Thoughts?
