Re: HP OpenView

[Daniel W. Fink]

OV was the monitoring tool of choice (sysadmins made the decision, not 
dbas) for the databases at my last company. In checking all the events 
to monitor, I only found about 10 that were useful. The other ones were 
heavy on the ratio angle and had nothing on wait events.  I also found 
the monitoring interface ungainly and difficult to use. If an alert was 
presented, we had to go to another product or login to the db to examine 
it in depth or fix it.

I would have preferred to use Enterprise Manager since I could do almost 
everything I needed to do in one window.

Anyone in the HP/Oracle camp using HP's OpenView and its Smart Plug-in for
Oracle to monitor databases?
We are in the beginning stages of implementing. I'd be interested in hearing
people's experiences. Thanks.
