How configure snmp for oracle10g

How can i configure SNMP for Oracle10g

I'm curious about using SNMP technology to monitor Oracle 10g databases.

I've done some light reading on the subject and I'm now at the stage
where I have a few questions.

-What exactly do I need to configure in my Oracle 10g environment?

-Is Enterprise Manager the best and/or only UI available for me
to carry out configuration chores?

-I see no SNMP specific documentation for 10g; why is that?

-I do see a good document for :
http://www.excsoftware.com/Documentatio ... e_SNMP.doc
http://oraclesvca2.oracle.com/docs/cd/B ... /chap2.htm

but i can't fond "
Code:
$ORACLE_HOME/network/snmp/peer/CONFIG.master
$ORACLE_HOME/network/snmp/peer/CONFIG.encap
$ORACLE_HOME/network/snmp/peer/start_peer
"and " Oracle Intelligent Agent,Oracle Management Agent"????????

Is the above document suitable for configuring SNMP monitoring of Oracle
in a 10g environment?

Here's an unanswered question in the Oracle forums:
Does the Oracle 10g intelligent agent support snmp queries ( walks ) ?
The 9i agent has this functionality and is documented, but I can't find any documentation for the 10g agent.

Did you ever figure out your issue? or is there no interest on this board about this subject? Cause I would have some huge use for this as well.

MySQL has some good queries that you can run that would avoid the snmp component. How about Oracle? If you can query it, then all you need is DBI (perl) or PDO (php) to run the same queries and get back the goodies to graph.

Comments please.

Probably the reason one would ask for SNMP support for Oracle is that it is relatively expansive, time wise, to connect to Oracle each time you want to run a query. On the other hand you win in the flexability department because with queries you can ask for any metric not just the one Oracle decides to make public.
