Well, you certainly can use WMI for things that fall within its ambit such as "is my Oracle Service up?" and so on, but you'd be writing your own code. It's pretty straightforward to do - I've done it - but bear in mind it's really a service and machine level architecture, unless you want to write your own wmi provider based on sql queries.

As for SNMP well the fact that the db monitoring user is called db snmp without the space might be a clue. Check out http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/em.102/b16244/chap1.htm#SNMPR001 for the details.
