	   I agree with Ryan, that in a technical sense this is bogus. But I
also
	feel there is a grain of truth in it. Often at its core the question
has to
	do with comfort, and if recent incidents have caused a loss of
comfort, then
	you get some sharp questions to answer. My strategy would be to
increase the
	level of comfort, but don't commit yourself to wasting a lot of time
once
	the sense of comfort returns. Here is what I would consider
legitimate:
	   1. Install an alert log scanner that will email you when an error
occurs.
	There are several free ones available on-line.
	   2. If you've experienced a recent crash, demonstrate you are
taking
	serious actions to ensure this problem doesn't recur. Actions like
	monitoring.
	
	Here is what I consider bogus:
	   1. Constantly monitoring the buffer cache hit ratio.
	  
	Marginal - run STATSPACK at regular intervals. I have had situations
where
	the database would suddenly "hang" or "freeze" or "slow-down". I
found that
	a couple of STATSPACK snapshots could provide a wealth of information
about
	what was going on at the time of the incident. Now, my strong
preference is
	to be notified so I can manually trigger these snapshots, but if it
makes
	someone feel better and get off my case if I have them run at regular
	intervals, then I'm okay with that.
