Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: oracle processes monitoring on linux
Our own system uses Argent which logs in and checks the results of a
function. If it can't get results at all, or it gets anything besides a
static string, we raise an alert. The function can check pretty much
anything in the database, from job errors or library cache locks. Using
this method, we can know how serious it is and where to start fixing it
as soon as we have the alert. Returning if the database was online
seemed like it was a bit of a waste. Being in a function, you can
adjust the settings for what you want to look at and the thresholds
easily enough.
Thanks,
Justin Mitchell

Most pre-canned programs such as Tivoli and BMC Patrol log in to the DB and do a select 'whatever' from dual; expecting a certain result and return a good or bad result set that the program then acts upon.....

Here's something to consider:
Why monitor the Oracle processes?
The fact that all the processes are present and accounted for is not a reliable indicator that your database is up and working.
If you want to know if your database is up, you will have to logon on to it.
