Data Source

The value of this metric is derived using the TNSPING command. For more information about the TNSPING command, see the OracleŽ Database Net Services Administrator's Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2).

User Action

If the Listener response time consistently exceeds the threshold, users are likely experiencing performance issues while accessing the database or other services on this host. Use the Enterprise Manager Central Console to review other performance indicators, such as the overall health of your database and the response time of your hosts and Web Applications.
