I'm pretty certain that the first step would be to get a better problem
statement, difficult maybe if it is your boss asking. The log checking that
you and Grid do is the reactive standard thing. But it appears that there is
a very specific reason for a very general question here.Your bosses question
is

"There is a problem with connection pools on one of our weblogic servers, is
the database OK?"

I think I'd be asking

"What *exactly* is the problem on the weblogic server, is it reporting an
Oracle error, has it got a performance issue, what logs does weblogic have
that indicate a database issue?"

I've spent far too much of my life chasing problems that didn't actually
exist to spend too much more time doing that.

cheers
