Then I would be very, very tempted to give them regular report.txts filled with all those ratios and waits and explain that these are the metrics you use to monitor performance and they are documented in the various oracle manuals. Quite frankly this sort of daftness needs to be stamped on. Yes it is reasonable for our performance to be measured, but you should measure it against the job that we are contracted to do. If your user community is only interested on uptime then that is all an auditor should be interested in.
