Don't know about a binary plugin doing this.

The Oracle Instantclient (sqlplus) is available here:

The check_oracle client won't work with just the Instant Client, because

it doesn't include tnsping.


When I've used check_oracle, I use the --login option instead of --tnsping. This simulates a login, and returns OK if it gets a "invalid login, incorrect username/password". This is a better check because it goes down the entire stack and grabs whatever errors are returned by Oracle (for instance, "shutdown in progress").

I assume the Instantclient will still work with check_oracle (as it just needs sqlplus).
