I'm new to the list myself but why are you monitoring oracle processes? Won't it be more straight forward to query v$session for the corresponding processes? I'm playing around with dbcheck (within http://sourceforge.net/projects/hobbit-perl-cl/) and it does that. I "believe" it can generate a graph showing the spikes in # of oracle sessions. If it doesn't, you should be able to write a shell script listing all the oracle jobs, count and then graph it.
Right now, I'm pulling hairs out of my head trying to adapt dbcheck to my environment. ;0

Hi,
I am new to this mailing list so apologies if I am breaking any protocol by sending this mail out to this address - I have searched the faqs and can find no answer.
What I am trying to do is to monitor processes by the owner.
In hobbit-clients.cfg I can specify a string to search for in the process name but I can find no way to look in the USER column.
If I could, then I could get a count of processes owned by oracle and graph it out.
Is this possible?
Many thanks
Josie
