HA Monitor Kit is a hot-standby system that uses HA Monitor, and is an optional product of HA Monitor that makes it easier to monitor Oracle systems.

To use the basic HA Monitor-based hot-standby system to monitor Oracle, a user has to carefully select a building method and then build a cluster environment, giving special consideration to the structure of the Oracle system. Because the user has to manually create a shell for monitoring Oracle, the investigation and evaluation of implementation methods required extra effort and cost, and there was always a risk of designing defects into the shell.

HA Monitor Kit solves these problems and provides the following benefits:
