A key element of any database management strategy is a comprehensive system of monitoring and alerting on key database parameters that would indicate problems. Anything that might indicate performance degradation, an outage, or perhaps even an impending problem needs to be recognized in an automated fashion and an appropriate resource notified. Additionally, we recognize that DBAs are not often watching a monitor or display, so any solution must be capable of proactive notifications via e-mail, pager, or other mechanisms.
