Hi.

I just wanted to plug the use of auditing.

By simply enabling audit session, I detemined that users that were accessing a database via a vpn connection were being timed out (LOGOFF BY CLEANUP). It wasn't the application that was causing the apparent hangs, it was the network. How bout that?

The entry in dba_audit_trail even included the host IP_Address, proving that the users victimized by a vpn timeout policy were in a different network range.

You don't know what kind of info you're missing - until you run it for a few days and troll it. Its like "law and order" without needing a subpoena. :D
