This type of request is entirely too common. The problem is that measuring the "performance" of an Oracle system isn't like measuring the performance of a car in the Indy 500 by timing laps, but that is typically the perception of those asking. At my last employer, we developed application-speci

Keep the report short, just a page once a week, and have three key things highlighted -- your most important measurements of performance. People like to skim a report and focus on a few key things. A good idea for these metrics just might be the three most critical business transactions. A perf

Give your damagers a Quest Spotlight monitor ! It has all the nice gui stuff that damagers like to see, and they feel good about it. Plus it is different colours, which gives them the illusion they actually know what is going on inside and lets them think they are in control ! As for you, set up
