As a result of my proposal to create a DBA Service, I identified the need to publish performance figures for Management. These slides cover some of the key reporting areas managed by my team.
The database monitoring was done daily and initially the report was published monthly, but became a little repetitious, since everything was going smoothly, so a quarterly frequency was decided upon.
There were escalation mechanisms in place via the Incident Management Process, if any incident needed urgently addressing.
1. Ensure DB Monitoring performed
2. Ensure documentation procedures followed(ITIL)
3. Accountability (Audit)
4. Provide Service Logs (Future forecasting)
Aims of report
1. Management Summary
2. Incident Management
3. Database Backup Management
4. Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity
5. Performance - Disk (Live Server)
6. Performance - Disk (Test Server)
7. Performance – Processor (Live only)
8. Software Management (Releases)
9. Security Management

Performance – Disk (Live Server)
Active partition management was performed on the more volatile areas (i.e. Spool)
The team were allowed free reign to batter this environment (under controlled test plans of course!)
Regular cloning of Live to Test took place to refresh & synchronise/mirror the Live environment so that future deployment scenarios could be thoroughly tested and also importantly, the DR & BCM procedures could be tested.
