Oracle Performance monitoring GUI tools

hi,
We have Oracle 10g / 11g database on which SAP instances are running. Whenever, any bottleneck issue, I used to logon as ora<sid> and look for processes / space/ file system space etc.
Wondering, if any Oracle GUI tool available to monitor. I am not very familiar with oracle tools.
Thanks,
Raj S

Hi,
Also you can use the Oracle tool - Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control. The Oracle Universal Installer installs Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control when you install the Oracle software. Enterprise Manager Database Control provides a Web-based interface that you can use to manage your Oracle instance and database.

    Hi Sam,
    Please advice me for the ORACLE system performance Monitor.There are lots of options - from within Oracle itself to 3rd
    party software, both free and commercial.
    Client asl us that they are facing speedy issues every morning over the past
    fortnight with our SEER reports in business objects where the pages are
    taking a long time to access or refresh.How do they know? Do they have actual figures to show that the
    system has slowed down.
    He ask us to monitor the oracle system performnace between 4 AM to 8 AM
    every morning, Please advice me how to monitor the performnace and what
    are all steps I have to take.Do you have any results from any monitoring done prior to now? If not,
    you're in trouble since you won't be able to detect any changes from a
    baseline.
    As was suggested, use AWR (if you're licenced), if not, use Statspack,
    every 30 mins or so and check to see if there are any bottlenecks.

    Free performance monitoring tool? You can try WebLogic Scripting Tool, you
    can download from
    https://codesamples.projects.dev2dev.bea.com/servlets/Scarab?id=S13
    You can write your own JMX code to get some runtime status from WebLogic as
    you want.

  • Error installing Oracle Counters for Windows Performance Monitor

    Hello,
    I have installed Oracle EE 11g 11.2.0.1.0 on a Windows 2008 R2 server. Now, I am using the Oracle Universal Installer to install the Oracle Counters for Windows Performance Monitor 11.2.0.1.0
    Source path is D:\Share\11gR2_win32_11gR2_database_install\database\stage\products.xml
    Installation Type is Custom
    Install Location is C:\app\dmadmin
    Path is C:\app\dmadmin\OraHome_1
    I de-select all product components and select the following two:
    Oracle Windows Interfaces 11.2.0.1.0
    Oracle Counters for Windows Performance Monitor 11.2.0.1.0
    I get the following error:
    OUI-10150:Error: A runtime exception occurred while setting s_digCfgNamingLabelSIDnull in component Database 11g 11.2.0.1.0 . Installation cannot continue for this component.
    I am given the choice of Stop installation of all products and Stop installation of this component only which both result in non-installation of selected component.
    Does anyone have any advice or solutions for this error? I have tried re-booting the server, but get the same error.
    Thanks for your assistance,
    Stumped

    OUI from ORACLE_HOME (OH\oui\bin\setup.exe) cannot be used to install components from 11.2.0.1 installation media (products.xml)
    This is documented, but I am not able to locate it now.
    Have you checked if the Performance Monitor files are already installed or not?
    Thanks

  • Performance monitoring tool for Essbase

    Currently we are using Zabbix to monitor the resource usage of Essbase database (CPU, memory, disk IO, etc).
    We would like to know is there are any other web based monitoring tools that can monitor down to process level. The existing Windows performance monitor is relatively complex and also lack of web based interface for administrator to monitor the processes easily.
    We are also looking at Quest Spotlight for Windows but not yet fully explored its capability. We would like to know if there are other choices used by other Essbase administrators.
    Thanks in advance.

              2. The format of time stamp of SuperLogging changed. It is not locale dependent:
              better for report utilities.
              3. Time stamp of SuperLogging added machine name: better for clustering environment.

              as foreign beans.
              3. Installation: Both installServerSideLibrary and installLogDatabase can be worked
              on the original file, do not need copy to a temporary directory anymore.
              4. PeekPoke: if there is no stub available, JNDI list would be empty for Weblogic5-6.
              Now it pick up all availble ones and give warning messages.

  • OEM-Performance monitoring

    Hi we are running oracle 8.1.6 and I am seeking some your advice and expertise on OEM.
    We like to use OEM for a lot of our Database performance monitoring and tuning and I like to know how reliable this Management tool is. I have heard some negative comments about OEM like: "it is very buggy", "can't rely on it", " it is not quite there yet".
    We do have some issues with its installation and configuration on Solaris, and I am beginning to feel that other rumors might be true too.
    Is there any one out there who has a good, positive experience with OEM that can convince me we can choose it as a reliable tool to monitor the performance of our database???
    Please share.

    The document link Eric sent pretty much covered the installation and configuration part.
    also crosscheck EM admin guide,
    http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/em.920/a96670/toc.htm
    It's part of EM installation.
