Re: OEM 12c (12.1.0.5) generating too many alerts on Metrics "Logons Per Sec"

3b) Is the current OEM connecting and disconnecting much more frequently than the previous one and making itself the source of the alerts it's raising?

I'd expect to see lots of time lost on library cache latch and dictionary cache latch activity, probably with plenty of mutex sleeps as well and "connection management" showing up with a significant (though relatively small) amount of time in the Time Model report.
