As Freek says, if you aren't "allowed" to access the server and the fixing is to be left to the sysadmins then the monitoring is also their responsibility. This isn't a Windows question - exactly the same applies on any other platform.
Having said all that, if you have sysdba access then following the approach detailed at http://plsqlexecoscomm.sourceforge.net/ in order to exploit the JVM built into your database will allow you access to the information you want. You just won't be able to do anything about it. I'd be asking for server access myself.
