RE: Collecting "Metrics"

You may want to try statpack (new with 8i, but can also run against 8.0) also. I haven't really used it yet, but it looks like it's more versatile than utlbstat/utlestat...

One basic source of information, though kind of dated, is the UTLBSTAT and UTLESTAT scripts provided in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin. They will give you an overview of the general condition of your Oracle instance. You can modify these scripts to store data in another instance......
