Hi Pete,
Don't you need the Diagnostics pack for for the Performance screens in EM Express? And as I'm sure you know many sites aren't licensed to use the Diagnostics pack.

Cheers,

Chris

What is this concept of being "too dependent upon Grid Control"?  I don't understand.  ;)

Seriously, while I know it's too early for most folks, have a look at the Performance screens in EM Express.  All you gotta do is migrate all your databases to DB12c, and I just KNOW you're planning that already!  :)

I have come to the realization I've become a little too dependent upon Grid Control for giving me a "quick overview" of system performance.  Those colorful graphs are like DBA crack ;) So let's say Grid is down or I'm in an environment where Grid is not available.  I'm pretty good with SQL but I still like that overview that Grid gives me where I can quickly identify "blips" related to performance.

I'm curious what tools/scripts you guys have in your toolboxes to give you a quick overview when your favorite tool is unavailable.  I have several tools in my toolbox as well, but nothing quite as good as Grid when it comes to giving me that "big picture" view to quickly see issues that are impacting users.

I do have Spotlight available but we haven't configured it and I'm not entirely sure I want to go that route as it adds objects to the database. I have Toad as well but I'm really thinking along the lines of SQL scripts would be handy.

Thoughts?
