Monitoring software

Nick Lunt — Tue, 27 Apr 2004 08:36:10 GMT

Hi folks,

I'd appreciate it if you could offer some advice on the following.

We run several HP11.11 servers all of which run Oracle8/9 databases.
We also run Tivoli software on them, ie TEC and TWS, both of which were happy with.

Im currently evaluating solutions to monitor and alert out on oracle and hpux problems, and at the moment I'm working with Tivoli ITM and ITM for oracle.

I can say in all honesty that we are very unlikely to purchase ITM as it is very unreliable and to be honest does not seem to work very well at all.

So my question is what do you guys use for enterprise monitoring of oracle and hpux, or are you aware of any software that does ? And preferably it should integrate with tivoli enterprise console.

Many thanks,
Nick.

ps please accept my apologies if this is way off topic.

We use Glance for realtime monitoring of our processes. We have Eloquence, not Oracle. However, we can still monitor the Eloquence threads using Glance.
For trend analysis we use Lund Performance Solutions (www.lund.com). Using workloads, we track system utilization of certain processes, and users to effectively analyze our system and make future system upgrade recommendations. Lund also has a realtime monitoring application, but it's not as "clean" as Glance.

Thanks for the responses but I seem to have misled you, glance etc do not fit the bill.

Another monitoring solution we use as a backup to OVO - BigBrother:

Ive heard a bit of about big brother on searching this forum, Ill find out a bit more about it, thankyou.

Unfortunately we need to keep our Tivoli TEC and TWS. We just want something that can monitor oracle and hpux and then send alerts into TEC, or can at least execute a command which would send an alert into TEC with postemsg.

Nick,
Patrol by BMC may have some possibilities for you. We use it in conjunction with CA Unicenter to forward alerts for both HP-UX and Oracle issues.

Hi David,

funnily enough I've been looking at BMC Patrol and it looks like it would do the business. There's also a Tivoli intergration package for it. And as a bonus is can also monitor openvme which unfortunately we've got ... ;)

Thanks very much.
Nick.
