Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Centralized Alert Log Monitoring
While the script approach is excellent, and you have gotten several good answers on how to use it, might I suggest looking into event triggers? If you are running 8i or above (not 8.1.5, it's buggy on this), you can create a database level trigger ON ERROR. If you have Java turned on for your system you can have Oracle email you the error directly. Otherwise you can use a daemon on the system to pick up the email duties. There are a few errors that are ignored, but they are the kind of thing that should be ignored (like programs passing characters to number parameters).
The only errors this is going to miss are catastrophic, i.e. when you get a core dump that kills SMON the trigger won't fire because the instance is already down. For that kind of thing only OS scripts will help.
Regards,
Chris Gait
