Overall Satisfaction with Spotlight
All the DBAs in our team use Spotlight, which currently is at 6 people. We bring up in the morning and continue to monitor all day. This gives us a great view of active production databases. We are able to view top sessions, top SQL and see CPU consumption. It is actually one of the best tools we have used for monitoring Oracle databases.
- The screen is color-coded, so when Red or Orange is displayed you are able to drill down into that setting and figure out what is going on.
- This tool also integrates with the OEM agents which will also have implemented.
- Spotlight also works great without RAC databases, able to view at the cluster level or drill down to instances and VM's.
- Have not found any issues at this point.
- We have not encountered any issues and continue to keep Spotlight's version current.
- Very simple to set up and add databases. The only thing that has to happen to the database is that a user ID needs to exist.
Spotlight is easier to view than OEM. OEM is better for historical information.
