All tools related to Oracle data collection used in this book are from the OraPub System Monitor, or OSM for short. I created this tool kit and use it on-site during my consulting engagements. You can download the complete tool kit (for free) from http://www.orapub.com. There are also a number of other spreadsheets and Perl scripts I reference. Unless otherwise specifically mentioned, all the tools are available for free from OraPub's web site.

All the operating system tools used in this book are standard Unix/Linux tools, such as vmstat, sar, iostat, and top. If you understand how these tools work, you'll know what to look for when using your platform-specific tool.

If you like what you are reading, then consider attending any of my presentations, seminars, and courses. I have the opportunity to literally travel the world, teaching and consulting. Here is how most people glean from my work:
