I think you might want to start with getting some more detail on exactly what
your manager is looking for. In your quote from him, you said "manage" the
databases, but in your subject you say "monitoring". OEM/Grid Control/DB
Control/SQL*Plus work fine for managing databases, and the first 3 are usually
sufficient for monitoring also if you have Diagnostics Pack licensed. If you
don't have that, and you want to monitor and send alerts, your best bet is
probably Nagios along with some custom scripts and/or some of the available
plug-ins such as Monocle or those available here:

Disclaimer: I've never used Nagios or Monocle, but I've heard lots of good
things about Nagios on this list in the past (search the archives). I've only
looked at Monocle briefly and it looks promising, but I haven't had time to
actually implement it yet.
I'm currently using custom scripts and HP OpenView to monitor my databases, but
planning to switch to Nagios soon.
Regards,
Brandon
