Guidelines

Announcement Support for this product will end on December 22, 2025. To monitor Oracle databases, we recommend that you use PATROL for Oracle Enterprise Database.

Requirements checklist


To configure an instance for monitoring, a PATROL OS account user must have SQLPlus connection to the instance. For this, the following permissions are required:

Permissions

For SQLPlus binary:

$ORACLE_HOME

$ORACLE_HOME/bin

r + x

$ ORACLE_HOME/lib

r + x

$ ORACLE_HOME/lib/libsqlplus.so

$ORACLE_HOME/oracore/zoneinfo/timezone.dat

r + x

$ORACLE_HOME/oracore/zoneinfo/readme.txt

For lsnrctl:

$ORACLE_HOME/network

r + x

$ORACLE_HOME/network/mesg

r + x

All files under $ORACLE_HOME/network/mesg

r

Note

The above mentioned lsnrctl permissions are required for ORANET monitoring. When entering the paths, use the appropriate slash marks and ORACLE_HOME symbols for your operating system:

  • For UNIX:

Slash mark: / Symbol: $ORACLE_HOME

  • For Microsoft Windows:

Slash mark: \ Symbol: %ORACLE_HOME% The PATROL OS account must be able to connect to SQLPlus connection from OS prompt.

During instance configuration, if the PATROL OS user belongs to the others group and the Oracle environment is set with permissions on UNIX platform, as shown in the following example, the configuration will fail.

Example

Permissions for Oracle environment:
-rwxr-x---+ 1 oracle dba 1059496 May 5 2010 $ORACLE_HOME/lib
-rwxr-x---+ 1 oracle dba 1059496 May 5 2010 $ORACLE_HOME/bin
-rwxr-x---+ 1 oracle dba 1059496 May 5 2010 sqlplus

Note

For monitoring Oracle instances using ASM storage, the PATROL OS account must be a part of the primary DBA group.

For the instance configuration to be successful, you must skip the permission check by setting the /OracleConfig.ORACLE_SID.ACLFlag pconfig variable to 1.

The following table provides a checklist of the requirements that PATROL for Oracle Database needs to operate successfully.
