RE: Database Health Template-OT
Just FWIW - I set up dozens of alerts on our systems, monitoring conformance to corporate standards. So, naming standards, presence / absence of triggers, responsibility assignements in metadata, access privs consistent with those assignements etc etc. For every alert test, there will be a numeric result, from 0 up to the maximium potential (eg the total population against which each alert exception is being tested). So the results can be expressed as percentages. And the consolidated results of all tests is also expressed as a percentage - ergo, the 'database health quotient'. Well of course potentially totally misleading (must understand scope, which damagement may not), but as a qualitative indicator, it has some use. Certainly these alerts help to draw attention to sleepers. You will note these alerts do NOT check the physical parameters of the db installation, rather the data and metadata. They could of course treat the former in the same way, however. peter edinburgh > > > > > Guys, > > > > > > For management reporting has anyone considered OEM V9?? > Has anyone > > > installed it - do you know that it provides a number of reports > > > already defined that can be setup to be run periodically and > > > available on the web - all with the installation of the OEM V9? > > > > but it's OEM, i've never managed to get it configured to > run other than > > stand alone. > > > > -- > > Bill "Shrek" Thater ORACLE DBA > > "I'm going to work my ticket if I can..." -- Gilwell song > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > -- > -- > > Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President > should on no > > account be allowed to do the job. - Douglas Adams > > -- > > Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net > > -- > > Author: Thater, William > > INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > Fat City Network Services-- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com > > San Diego, California-- Mailing list and web > hosting services > > > - > > To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message > > to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in > > the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L > > (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

these are bogus. its just about giving your boss some BS, so he goes
away. Been there, done that.
the only useful stuff to send him would be polling the alert log for
'ORA' errors, checking for chained rows as a percentage of total rows, and
check to see how much free space is in each datafile.
you can also send him statspack stuff, but he wont be able to read
it. might want to send him a max users count and stuff like that. but that
really isnt a 'health' check.
what are you sending him now? hit ratios? Those are garbage. Even
though the damn OCP test says to use them(im still annoyed by that).. its
garbage.

Paula We are working with OEM that come with Oracle 9.0.1 (upgrade to 9.2.0.4 if the next week - hopefully). We are working with the repository with no problems.

Been there, done that. the only useful stuff to send him would be polling the alert log for 'ORA' errors, checking for chained rows as a percentage of total rows, and check to see how much free space is in each datafile. you can also send him statspack stuff, but he wont be able to read it. might want to send him a max users count and stuff like that. but that really isnt a 'health' check. what are you sending him now? hit ratios? Those are garbage. Even though the damn OCP test says to use them(im still annoyed by that).. its garbage. > > From: "Shibu MB" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2003/11/19 Wed AM 08:50:07 EST > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Database Health Template-OT > > > > Hi all, > I am looking for a template where i can fill the health > of the databases daily and send it to my boss .Though i have prepared one > i still doubt i have missed some thing :).
