Server Monitor/Big Brother
I have an install of Big Brother to monitor a number of servers. However, I would like to customize it using Perl. I cannot find solid, extensive Perl modules to help me monitor Oracle databases and other processes. Anybody using a similar tool as Big Brother which is more customizable in Perl? Thanks.

Anonymous Monk,
You may want to take a look at Big sister, it is written in Perl. Perhaps you could install it to see if it does most of what you want, and write your own Oracle monitoring module. This has been suggested in the past for system monitoring, please use Super Search before posting.
Hope this helps.

Take a look at Nagios (formerly NetSaint). You can write plugins in Perl (you may want to run Nagios with the embedded Perl interpreter for optimal performance) , and at least one GPL'ed Oracle plugin is available on the net.

Have you tried deadcat?
I did a quick search using the keyword "oracle" and got 36 hits.
Writing Perl plug-ins for Big Brother is really quite trivial. All your script has to do is write to a text file in a standard format, and then Big Brother does the rest. The BB documentation even includes instructions on how to do this.
