Personally, I think that many folks go a bit overboard when
it comes to checking the health of a database.
These are the things I like to check for:
* is the database up? this is the most important tech check
* status of jobs in DBA_JOBS
* space issues. Will a table be able to extend N times
without error?
* are the users happy? This is actually more important
than any of the technical issues.
There's a lot of other things you can check, but personnaly, I
quit checking them long ago.
I do log a few things from the database, and periodically store
the explain plans for SQLin the cache for troubleshooting later
the things go awry. This is really not part of a periodic
health check though, this is a whole different matter.
One thing to keep in mind: Rolling your own helps you to
understand what's being monitored. :)
