[Xymon] Experience: Monitoring Oracle via Xymon?

[FORD Alan]

Hi,
I have written a couple of scripts which check various things.
They are designed to run from a single server with oracle client installed (in our case the Xymon server).
I have a oracle xymon user on each database with minimal permissions so that it can get the data it needs.

If you like what you see I can post the scripts and configs.  :-)

This is what the pages show. In this case it's a database under Data Guard soapro is the service on both databases.
soapro1 is currently the primary (ora_dbrole = green).
soapro2 is currently the failover (ora_dbrole = clear).
It will go yellow for 5 minutes on a change of roles.

Hi,

Does anyone have any experience in monitoring Oracle via Xymon (tablespaces/instaces/listener/export/rman-backups) - any help would be welcomed.
