I didn't get the opportunity to work with BMC, but was somewhat
involved in the selection process for enterprise monitoring tools
a couple of jobs ago.
BMC Patrol ( or whatever it may be called now ) was very impressive.
I had lots of questions, and everything I asked, it was already setup
to do. It will handle various databases, and will also monitor the OS.
Wanna keep an eye on the page scan rate on Solaris? They already
have it if you want it. If you think of something it can't do, they have a
scripting language to build it yourself. ( too bad it wasn't perl )
It was the most capable tool I've seen. If others with experience
recommend it
it would be a candidate for closer scrutiny.
Bring a lot of cash though if you plan to use it.

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
Ideally, we'd like to find a common tool to monitor Oracle, Sybase and SQL
Server databases running on both NT and Unix platforms. There are separate
groups that are responsible for NT support and Unix support. If we could
all use the same tool, we'd be delighted, but if not, then one tool for all
databases would be our next choice.

Lisa,
What are you trying to monitor - just Oracle databases, the OS as well (if
so which OS) and anything else?
We use the Watchdog functionality (part of CA Unicenter) to monitor our VMS
servers (where we don't run Oracle) and it good for that.
It depends on what you are trying to achieve.
HTH,
Bruce Reardon

Hi -
Does anyone have experience with either of these products? I'm interested
in ease of installation, ease of use, and quality of support. I realize
they are both pricey, but they both seem to do a lot. I've been asked to
look at alternatives (I'm sure the cost will be prohibitive, but we'll
see).
Also if you know of any comparable tools, I'm very interested to hear about
them.
Thanks much -
Lisa
