Monitor tablespaces and datafiles

Monitor the usage and growth of tablespaces and datafiles within the Oracle database. Track free space, growth rate, and ensure that tablespaces are properly managed to prevent space-related issues. For basic monitoring of a single instance, Germain uses a regular database user account with CONNECT permissions. In the case of Oracle RAC, it is possible to monitor the status of the cluster as a whole or individual instances. To perform more in-depth monitoring, the database user needs to be granted additional permissions to execute queries against a series of system views. Please note that Germain can monitor any other Oracle tables, whether they are system tables or data tables. The requirements mentioned below are the bare minimum, but they can be extended to include monitoring of any other tables as well.
