What versions of Oracle are you using?
I am proposing de-installing PATROL at our work place (It is the same one I took pride
in installing and supporting a few years ago). Got tired of : The "next release" will
support all the new features (LMTs, partitioning etc). But all these are currently in
use, and so databases using those are taken out PATROL's care !

eGurkha ?
Why don't companies do more DD before naming products ? The Gurkhas were
special forces in the British Army, trained to DESTROY and DEMOLISH ! So,
is this an electronic version of it (eGurkha) ? Not likely to score points
with the Brits for installing this on their systems eh ?
Toyota made a similar blunder with their MR2 in Spain, France and Portugal
(pronounce the letters MR2 in any of these languages, and it sounds like
Toyota Merda , yes ?).
On the serious side, look at how much memory this occupies. I just came
back from an engagement where BMC PAtrol was installed on a W2K server, and
it consumed 900 MB of REAL memory to give a bunch of mostly meaningless
information (but oh so impressive), not a pretty picture.
Another thing to do is when the vendor explains all the wonderful features
of what it is supposed to do, make sure you have a large shovel nearby.
Then again, I have been wrong before (and not ashamed to admit it).
