Oracle Database monitoring with unixODBC

[traq911]

I have some system which require auditing. Part of my auditing is connection attempts. When implementing any sort of database monitoring the audit logs have the opportunity to get very large. Assuming I poll every 60 seconds maybe 10 stats from that database. That's 14,400 connections every day that would get logged in the audit trail.

If there were a way to maintain the connections and only re-connect if they get broken that could save a lot of noise in the audit logs.
