Re: Any Hotsos experiences out there?

Niall Litchfield doodled thusly:

>Good Oracle system performance analysis is a science, not an art."

well, i'd go as far as saying that

"good Oracle systems performance analysis starts with the design of its applications."

by far where I've had best and most impressive results. tuning the instance produces trivial results in comparison. no product can analyze any application and find design problems. a brain is needed for that.

absolutely. I'd rather get a product that analyzes the v$ views correctly than one that doesn't. pisses me off when a product gives bogus warnings because it's simply not aware of other constraints. seen a few do that.

but I still would rather use an automatic monitor than having to tediously run scripts.

what I'd like is a product that I can configure (once) to do some checking, give it alarm boundaries specified by me and let it do its job silently and as unobtrusive as possible. never seen one capable of that. a few came close, but failed with miserable bugs (never corrected) or had way too much overhead for something that's really very simple.
