by For all of you that are not the lucky owner of an Enterprise Manager license or you simply want to use nagios or another monitoring engine to get status and graphs of oracle, probably you’ll be using the “check_remote_oracle” plugin.
If you’re a scripter/developer maybe you’ll understand me when you open an script and see an COMPLETELY UNREADABLE code, with no functions, no indentation… etc
And then you’ll have to change anything stupid inside the script and then f**k it does not work!
This is the story of that script, I installed it, then I have to do some changes… and then I decided to rewrite it completely…
I’m not the best scripter of the world, but I know how to use functions, indentation and that useless shit :-P
You can read the whole documentation on its wiki page.
Enjoy!
PS: updated the instructions, I forgot the information about the unprivileged user for connecting to Oracle instance.
PS2: Updated again, new control!
