Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: DB monitoring using SNMP MIBs
Raj,
I looked at the TCL scripts that comes along with OEM, and did see that SNMP is being used therein. If TCL can do it, I am sure Perl can do it. Jared - Any inputs?

Thanks Dennis, Gary
I have tools at my disposal to monitor the db, and I have no problem with that. I was just reading through snmp and was intrigues by the idea that I could get some information without running scripts through sqlplus interface and if so how to accomplish that.
I know it is doable because IA does that, just wondering if it would be feasible to do it be some scripting ...

Raj - I'm no expert on SNMP, so maybe someone that is more knowledgeable will reply. I believe that SNMP underlies most of the monitoring tools on the market today. OEM may even use SNMP. I can see two approaches for you.
If your desire is to create a database monitoring tool that you can give away for free, then sell to CA for a lot of money, take path #1. If your goal is to become a better DBA, then I would go with #2.

Has anyone implemented basic DB monitoring using snmp MIB information rather
than running queries against the db?
I am looking into this and have no clue or available docs on how to do this
(esp on AIX). If someone can point me to the right direction, I would really
appreciate that.
TIA
Raj
