RE: RE: Real-time db monitor tools: agentless and cheap.

   I just wanted to thank you again for bringing this product to my attention.  I've using it on a trial basis now and I really like what I see and get from it.  One thing am unable to do is to see how long a session has been active and how long it is expected to stay active. I see such info in Insider and it is one of the steps I go through in my real-time performance troubleshooting.  

 The values for these columns have always been null and I guess based on what I've heard from the developer, this info is not readily available in oracle if it does not show as a longops.  

 Have you been able to dig this info using Lab128.

  I've been using lab128 for about 2 years now and it is a great product with   some limitations. It's strengths are that you can select any region of   virtually any of the main graphs and bring the active sessions that were   running at that time. Very powerful. The data is collected into files so     you can keep them and thus a baseline. No interface to an rdbms for the   data files and there is a single outfit with only a few people supporting   it. I have found it to be invaluable but have been frustrated with the   inability to print reports from the program or put the data in a database.
