I don't think that I mentioned that I'm no PERL programmer. If you would like to share some code that will work with the results of a DOS Ping, I'm sure that I can adapt it for my purposes. Otherwise, trying to figure out how to parse only the info I need will be a big challenge.

I usually ping 5 times and return the max. Do the same for your oracle test. I am not sure how sophisticated you want to get, but you can write a piece of sql to fetch what you want, call it from a script with a "time" command of some sorts around it, parse the response time and use the result.

I need to call this from a PERL script (I don't know PERL, does it have any PING capabilities?) and record the RTT into an RRD database. Also, has anyone done any monitoring of Oracle Application response time? I need to figure out how to capture the amount of time a transaction takes (the same one over and over) and record that into an RRD too.
