Oracle DB Server

[Chris Hudson]

Jim, thanks for your reply to Kaushal's request about Oracle databases.  I
am trying to do the same thing (configure Nagios to monitor Oracle dB's).
I already have the instant client installed on my Nagios server thanks to a
previous employee, and my dBa has edited my tnsnames.ora file on the Nagios
server; so now I am just trying to verify that the instant client is
configured properly.
I checked the directions in the second link you sent.  In step 4 it tells
you to cd to /etc/ld.so.conf and edit/create a file called oracle.conf and
insert the following path in the file:  /opt/oracle/lib
 Is this referring to a path on the Oracle server I will be checking,
because this path (/opt/oracle/lib) does not exist on my Nagios server.  The
instant client does get installed on the Nagios server, correct?

Thanks,
Chris Hudson
