Monitoring tool needed

Hi guys.
My company will be needed for a monitoring tool that will help assist the dbas in their daily activities. Yeah one can think of 10g grid, but can any one suggest for a more sophisticated tool that will help us record downtime details, capactity planning and all the rest? (even those that arent free).
Thanks.

Veritas I3 is a very good product (used to be called Precise for Oracle).
It will monitor everything from your storage server, to your databases (sqealserver and Oracle) to your web servers to your middleware servers and a few other things you probably never heard of.
Not blinking lights or pulsing data flow diagrams like quest. And is freakishly expensive and has incredible hardware requirements so there is a large TCO involved. The data is good, has SLA tracking, as much detailed history as you want. We kept the history at 6 months, so it was about 55 gig of storage for that.
But we liked it. We dropped it because it lost its bang for the buck and the hardware requirements was beginning to become more than the databases and applications it monitored.

  • Unix Application monitor tool : Help needed

    Hi All,
    I am planning to develop an Application monitor tool for internal use.
    In a Nutshell this tool will monitor set of services (user applications), which or running on HP UNIX box from a windows terminal. Just to know whether they are running OK or not (red green amber!). In other words executing small command on unix and sending the result back to client.
    I am wondering is there any open source tools for this type purpose from which I can take some help.
    Thanks in advance

    A few simple Google searches will probably pull up what you are looking for on HP Unix. For starters

  • Please suggest DB monitoring tool

    Our DB have some performance issues, I need your suggestions to buy a DB monitoring tool to help us to resolve these problems.
    If you can share your experiences on the tool, it will be the best.

    Hi,
    We don't have enough knowledge on DB.In that case, beware of tools that make recommendations that you cannot understand . . .
    Some advanced monitoring tools can be cryptic for beginners.
    Is OEM or Statspack suitable to a beginner? Beware, the OEM diagnostic pack and the OEM performance pack are really expensive, over $6,000 per seat:
    http://www.dba-oracle.com/news_tuning_packs_price.htm
    Plus, consider 3rd party tuining tools.
    Historically, Oracle tools have had a bad reputation, and Oracle's Oracle Expert tool was widely criticized for making ridiculous tuning recommendations . .
    Everybody has a monitoring tool to plug, I even have a few that I wrote myself.
    There are a zilllion of them, but they all offer test drives, but try to find:
    - A monitoring tool that makes recommendations in plain English
    - A tool that is reasonably priced
    - A tool from a well-know vendor with a good track record
    Lastly, if you are not familiar with Oracle tuning, it may be better and cheaper to buy an Oracle health check.
    A guru can find tuning problems in just a few hours, faster and more efficient that using a tuning tool.
    Hope this helps . . .

    Hello,
    Might anyone know of a free performace monitoring tool? Just I've used
    the monitoring part of Mercury before, it makes nice graphs of memory use.
    Is there some free equivalent out there?
    Or maybe someone has cooked up some JMX script ?
    thanks!

  • RAC (10.2) Private interconnect monitoring tools.

    Hello, I'm trying to find any monitoring tool that can monitor the Interconnect for my enterprise RAC environment, I suspect that we have some issue going on there but it would be great if i am able to get the historical data over a period of time.
    I have tested Quest central for RAC (Spotlight) but it is way too costly. I have also enabled OS watcher but i am not very sure how to interpret the OSW private network output.
    Any input would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi Aman,
    You are correct, node1 used for shared storage Disk1- make five raw partitions.
    Okay, please tell me if I use another node and use as shared storage then how to connect these raw disk to RAC nodes. Please give the procedure. This shared storage node only PC; not NAS or other expensive storage.
    Hi there,
    Well, if you are using only two physical machines, chances to get the things done are small actually. The only option that I think you have is to configure NFS(which I believed I had suggested already) . Other than this, you need to find one more machine, may be of less computing power but should have sufficient storage and use the Openfiler software to use its storage as a shared storage.

  • Exadata Architecture & I/O monitor tool - ExadataViewer

    Hi Experts,
    During the work, I got some knowledge and experiences about Exadata. And I found that we really need a tool to monitor Exadata performance and workflow, such as smart scan offload processing statistics and I/O dataflow path in Exadata. So, I developed ExadataViewer in my free time after work.
    ExadataViewer is a Exadata performance monitoring tool. ExadataViewer can help you to understand Exadata architecture and observe smart scan offload statistics and physical I/O dataflow in a graphical view.
    I hope this little tool useful to you. You can download it from http://www.exadataviewer.com

    Thank you for your time and efforts Qing, but we (Oracle) already provide a very detailed reporting tool in the form of Enterprise Manger 12c. It can be tuned and refined to provide a basically limitless range of statistics, hopefully you'll be able to download it and use it.

  • K9A2 plat hardware, CPU monitoring-advice needed please

    Hi,
    It seems that the MSI's "dualcore center" does not accurately displays CPU temp, normally it shows CPU temp. at lower than room temp.
    Also sometimes dual-core-center freeze/hangup other programs as well.
    With that being said,  I am looking for advice/recommendation as to what program to use to monitor CPU temps; something that would show in the task bar, show current temp., and does not hog up lot of resources. 
    thanks

    Oh yes... got to pay more attention to the spell checker. 
    Ironic.... I come here for technical advice and I get a lesson in spelling.    thanks Frankenputer. Furthermore ironic the fact is that I claim that I am not obsessed, yet I keep coming back here too read /learn more. May be it is not an obsession but an addiction. I am just a newbie here, some of you have post count  above 1K. Hee-heeee..
    Fredric, you mention bios is the most accurate, but you can't access it during a game play or application use.
    The only time I see bios info is when I boot. (yes boot  no need to correct.... boot=  as in pressing the power "ON" button to begin PC operation) it would not be a good monitoring tool.

    There is room , I am just not satisfied the way it is mounted. A huge, heavy heatsink hanging out to the side which is supported by the MOBO, now you hang another object(fan) on the heatsink; just like hanging weight on the end of a lever. Then you spin up the  fan and let it vibrate, these cheap fans not balanced as they should be.  An air tunnel or duct system would be a much better way to bring airflow to a heat sink, better than hanging a fan on it.
    Normal way  of mounting works of course. I am just testing to see if there is a better way. I am using a fan, just mounting it elsewhere.
    Products engineered certain way because size, cost, or compatibility issues. Not necessarily to be most efficient. 
    My corsair TX750 PSU a good example.  A fan is mounted inside; size and compability issue.
    So the engineers put a 140 mm fan on the bottom(inside),  blocked half of its airflow with a plastic shield so air is moved to the back, though and out.
    I removed the fan and the airflow blocking plastic piece, mounted fan on outside of  PSU. Airflow has nearly doubled. I am sure it runs cooler too.  A slight mod to the case was necessary. Now I sleep better at night  (kiddding)
    This PSU (unmodified) in an Antec P182 case barely moved any air through it. I ended up selling the the antec 182.
     

  • 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.

  • SAN Monitoring tools

    I am looking at gettign a monitoring tool for our fabrics and was wondering what people used and what would be recommended...
    Any views would be helpful
    Thanks Mark

    It depends on many factors:
    1. size of your fabrics
    2. type of monitoring you want to do
    3. how grandular you want to get?
    4. Also type of hardware you have in your environment.
    If you have large or small fabrics and you just want to get a basic feel for your SAN's then Fabric Manager pretty much has everything you need.
    It even has a predict feature that will tell you if thresholds will ever succeed or not which is good if your wondering about bandwidth limitation.
    If you have the $$$ in your budget, Finisar does offer Netwisdom which is very good in my opinion as it utilizes both hardware and software tools to accomplish this tasks.
    Create a spreadsheet that list all your requirements. Then in each column list the vendors and their products down. Then go thru and ask the vendors for evals and see what you do and don't like about each.
    This way you get a good feel for the products and how it may fit your environment.

  • Coherence monitoring tools

    Hi
    My project is currently in the process of evaulating monitoring tools for Coherence (v3.3+) and are currently looking at RtView (SL) and Clearstone Live (Evident). We would like to know if Oracle already has (or are planning to have) a monitoring tool for Coherence?
    Regards
    Jonas

    Oracle Enterprise Manager (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/oem/ent_mgr/sys_mgmt.html) is developing a management pack for coherence. You will need to check with the Enterprise Manager Team for the release date (late Q4 or Q1 2009).
    Another monitoring option is the Coherence Reporter in version 3.4 (http://wiki.tangosol.com/display/COH34UG/JMX+Reporter).

  • Wi-Fi Network Monitoring Tool for Palm OS 5.x

    Hi there..
    I'm trying to develop a 802.11b/g monitor tool for a Palm device (Tungsten C) using J2ME and it turns out to be pretty difficult or maybe even impossible.. meaning, I'm stuck. Since the J2ME VM is optimized for CLDC/MIDP enabled devices, it can't execute parts of the bytecode I used from jpcap. Same while trying to use libpcap with Java (using wrapper classes), it needs some of the J2SE classes which are not or partly supported by J2ME. So I was wondering whether you guys might have some suggestions to solve my problem (using Java)?
    Thanx & Greets from Switzerland, Mike.

    Any particular bytecode? Like maybe to do with doubles/floats? Or is java classes required by libpcap that are missing? I'm guessing you need deeper access to the 802.11 libraries to do monitoring. All you'll have in MIDP is the 'http' connector protocol.
