Best Database monitoring tool

Which Monitoring is reliable and 100% available - OEM , 3rd Party (Tivoli) or Shell Script in Crontab. One of my co-worker believe Shell Script is reliable and 100% availability . Could you please provide your valuable input on this..

Understanding 10g.anything is in extended support mode and should be upgraded ... first patch to the terminal release 10.2.0.5.
I find it laughable that someone would say "We want 100% uptime" but not be investing in keeping their patches current. Feel free to tell your management I said so. ;-)
But if they think a huge amount of money spent on Tivoli will get them something bug free I've got some land I want to sell them. Cron jobs are, by definition, a security violation even when they do work.
My recommendation is that your management address the real issue which is that much of what they are wanting to monitor wouldn't be an issue if they paid more attention to having fully supported software.

Hi John,
which is the best DB monitoring Tool ...?For proactive monitoring, you cannot beat STATSPACK, all free . . . .
For reactive monitoring, I like Quest Spotlight and Confio Ignite.
my purpose is to watch the activities(insertion,deletion,updation on which tables?) when an application is working...That not monitoring, that's auditing!
You can use LogMiner for free . . .
Hope this helps . . .

Best proactive monitoring tool

HI,
Please advise the best network proactive monitoring tool, that can raise auto-alert tickets with Remedy software.
Thanks

1 Spotlight works in about the same fashion as Grid Control/OEM, so you need a database to store metrics
2 Grid Control can also take care of Oracle patches, notifying you a patch has been released, and optionally install it, and even of O/S patches
3 Spotlight is a product of a third party, so it will always be less tightly integrated with Oracle
4 The Grid Control is interfaced by means of a browser, whereas Spotlight needs a fat client. If you want to have Spotlight on multiple systems, you have to buy it multiple times.

What is the best Database Administrator Tool

In my one of my earlier organizations DB administration jobs were done with TOAD. In my next organization my Project manager told that TOAD is actually meant for developers. There the tool was DBArtisan. Now in my present company I would have to take the decision to purchase some DB Administration tool. What should I select ? Any of the two ? Or any third one ? If any suggestion comes it will be a great help for me.
I am using Oracle 8x,9x10g
and the OSs are Unix AIX, Windows etc

It really depends on what you mean by 'Administer the database', 'Database Administrator Tool' and so on. In other words, it depends on what you really want to accomplish.
Many people want a tool to put up pretty pictures and respond to mouse clicks to 'do things'. There are a fair number of tools that accomplish this very well.
TOAD was originally for developers (hence the name Tool for Oracle Application Developer), but it has expanded dramatically to include a number of DBA capabilities. Quest, BMC, Computer Associates and others have excellent tools that are heavily into the 'draw a picture and lead the budding DBA in complacency'.
Even Oracle Enterprise Manager is great from that perspective AND it's free!!! Well, except that you license and pay for the add-on packs that make it truly useful.
To paraphrase Nicolas - the best DBA tool is an intelligent DBA using SQLPlus. All other tools will lead down the path that the tool developer has decided to use. Which may be right for some of the time, but is rarely right all the time, and rarely completely right for the latest and greatest releases of Oracle.

Best monitoring tool

Well here we are, my application is ready for distribution,
now i would like to know what is the best free monitoring
tool for a coldfusion server?
I found the metrics data in the coldfusion server, but i
would like to have some more monitoring information for my
resources, db load etc.
any ideas?

Regarding performance monitoring on your CF-server, are you
running a multi-server configuration?
If not, you can use the performance monitoring mechanism
built into CFMX. Simply log into the CF-Administrator, and under
"Debugging Settings", you'll find a checkbox waaaaay down at the
bottom of the page which reads "Enable Performance Monitoring".
Turn that on. What it actually does is tie directly into the
Windows (NT) built-in performance monitor reporting tool.
(This of course assumes you're hosting your CF-server on a
WIndows box - which most people do)
However, if you're running in a multi-server configuration,
this performance monitoring option is no longer available to you I
believe. Bruce Purcell has some good notes on the topic of
performance monitoring on his blog here:
http://www.bpurcell.org/blog/index.cfm?mode=entry&ENTRY=967
Personally, I've found the JRun Metrics service to be
invaluable. It is one of the only built-in options for performance
monitoring that ColdFusion offers for a multi-server environment as
far as I know.
Regarding your DB server, that is an entirely different topic
(unrelated to ColdFusion). You should contact your DBMS vendor for
more information on that.

data for performance monitoring. please help me to find best tool
asad

Hi asad,
Microsoft SQL Server and the Microsoft Windows operating system provide utilities that allow us to view the current condition of the database and to track performance as conditions change. There are a variety of tools and techniques that
can be used to monitor Microsoft SQL Server Databases.
The following document provides some Performance Monitoring and Tuning Tools:

Which Monitoring Tool is best to monitor LAN and WAN

Hi,
CAN ANYONE TELL ME Which Monitoring Tool is best to monitor LAN and WAN.
Waiting for immediate response.
Thanks
Irshad

To start with HP open, this is SNMP-based as well. As it is around for quite a while and delivers support for many vendors, it has become sort of an industry standard. Many other vendors deliver add-ons (even CiscoWorks) to support their products via HP open. That functionality however comes with a price. If you have plenty of money an a large network to manage, HP open might be your best choice.
Cisco Works and other -start-with-C- products are typically used to manage Cisco devices. If you have a fair share of non-cisco boxes around you will find that you cannot see or do everything with them that you might want.
One special thing about CiscoWorks is that it lacks a grapical real-time overview of the network. In my opinion this is a weakness in the product. On the other hand, it has many nice features to manage all kinds of Cisco devices.
My ideal solution is to use both a generic SNMP manager, SNMPc in my case, and CiscoWorks 2000. With SNMPc I can quickly see network node status and do some bandwidth management (baselining). CW2k serves mainly to execute changes (NetConfig) and as a syslogger. It is also used to perform IOS upgrades and to store config files.
I guess this could be done with HP open as well, but our money does not reach far enough to pay for both. SNMPc costs a lot less, both in purchase and in maintenance.
Hope this clarifies things a bit.

Leo

Oracle Database management and monitoring tools

hello everyone.
Could anyone offer any advice on Oracle database management tools ?
looking for a 3rd party tool that would provide graphical representation on health and activity within Oracle databases.
Any recommendations , or advice on what to avoid?
Many thanks

Thanks , have enterprise manager already.
Really looking for tool that will email , sms alerts
out as they happen.
Ability to set threshold alerts.
report creation of threshold data.
that kind of thing etc.Since you want to pay extra for this capability, look at the Diagnostics Pack add-on for Enterprise Manager. It does what you ask. And makes it available both on Database Control and Grid Control view.
And both Database Control and Grid Control are included in your SE/EE license.

OEM vs other monitoring tools (Solarwinds)

Can someone tell me the advantages of using OEM 12c as a monitoring tool over the Solarwinds product for Solaris systems? I know OEM will also give management capabilities for databases, but strictly from a monitoring perspective will OEM catch things (hardware or software) that Solarwinds will not?

Enterprise Manager 12c has numerous plugins and features that are not offered by the Solarwinds products. EM12c is engineered to work with all of Oracle's products and works seamlessly to provide value where misc. products that cover one or two areas must have each data brought together in a third tool in attempts to solve issues and provide a full picture of the IT infrastructure. I would contact your Oracle Sales rep to get a the best comparison to ensure you make the decision that will provide the most value for your company.
Thank you,
Kellyn

Oracle EPM 11.1.2.1 Monitoring tools

Gurus,
could you please let me know what are the available system monitoring or performance monitoring tools for oracle EPM 11.1.2.1 or in case licenses are involved what are the best key areas for manual procedures to monitor the system?
Many thanks !

Hello,
Monitoring is a broad term. There are many 3rd party tools available that can provide monitoring, it all depends on what exactly you're looking for.
Oracle has a document on setting up Oracle Enterprise Manager to monitor Hyperion Applications: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/sys9-oem-integration-1-129287.pdf. For performance monitoring, you can also look at this: https://blogs.oracle.com/pa/entry/epm_11_1_2_how3. This will basically connect to the JRockit JVM and look at the performance for the web application.
If you want to do more monitoring (services, servers, processor, CPU), you can look into Hyperic HQ: http://www.hyperic.com/. They have both an open source version and an enterprise version. I've used the open source version myself and it is pretty good and plays well with Windows. You can see many metrics, graphics and information via the web based application. You can also setup email alerts on certain activities (service stop, service start) and also monitor website availability. For being an open source software, I think it offers alot and it is very reliable.
Again, these are just a few suggestions. There are many tools out there that can accomplish what you're looking for.
Regards,
Luis
