Oracle Database Monitor, a component of IPNetwork Monitor’s monitoring suite, enables connection testing to Oracle database servers and SQL query execution. The initial column of the returned result set is treated as an integer for subsequent checks.
Oracle RDBMS (Relational Database Management System), a commercial database engine from Oracle Corporation, is widely used where high performance and scalability are essential. Executing SQL queries effectively assesses database integrity and validates specific record values. While manual checks are feasible, they become unwieldy when numerous checks or hosts are involved. IPNetwork Monitor’s Oracle Database Monitor streamlines these tasks.
Creating an Oracle Database Monitor is straightforward. Provide the host and, optionally, the port. Database connection requires specifying the instance name, username, and password.
Input the SQL query, ensuring the first column of the result set is an integer. Finally, configure the availability and performance parameters to interpret this integer value. This completes monitor setup.
This monitor has diverse applications depending on the database’s role. For instance, online shop owners can track item availability. System administrators can monitor traffic or gather database usage statistics. Any check involving a relatively simple SQL query is a potential use case.
Because monitor execution time can vary significantly based on factors like host location, database schema, and query complexity, preliminary host availability checks using simpler monitors, such as a
TCP monitor, are recommended. Utilizing such monitors as dependencies reduces the target host’s load.
