I would say the following:

1. What is the SLA?
2. What resources used by the application affect its ability to meet the required SLA?
3. If I didn't know the answer to #2 I'd find it out through research.

Then I would purchase the Oracle Grid Control and set up the appropriate alerts.

Without Oracle expertise on your staff you are essentially doomed to failure but why shouldn't Oracle at least get license revenue for selling you the right tool for the job. <g>
