Just FWIW - I set up dozens of alerts on our systems, monitoring conformance to corporate standards. So, naming standards, presence / absence of triggers, responsibility assignements in metadata, access privs consistent with those assignements etc etc.

For every alert test, there will be a numeric result, from 0 up to the maximium potential (eg the total population against which each alert exception is being tested). So the results can be expressed as percentages. And the consolidated results of all tests is also expressed as a percentage - ergo, the 'database health quotient'. Well of course potentially totally misleading (must understand scope, which damagement may not), but as a qualitative indicator, it has some use. Certainly these alerts help to draw attention to sleepers.

You will note these alerts do NOT check the physical parameters of the db installation, rather the data and metadata. They could of course treat the former in the same way, however.
