RE: Oracle Free Monitoring link

Or gnuplot -- take your pick. I've just written a Perl program to grab TS growth info from an audit table I have and dump it out to files for processing by gnuplot because no tool I could find could graph multiple series of data using a column of data as it's series descriptor.  

Custom is where it's at!

                I do use Spotlight occasionally and I like it, but I don't think it's necessarily a good tool to have running all the time, depending on your DBs. There's also a free version of the web-based Big Brother (now also owned by Quest) available at http://bb4.org <http://bb4.org/> , but I haven't used it in a while.                  

                And if I ever get back to writing my Perl/tk Oracle monitor, now defunct for over a year, there'll be another... ;)
