Can I use Oracle Clusterware to monitor my EM Agent?
Check out Chapter 3 of the EM advanced configuration guide, specifically the section on active passive configuration of agents. You should be able to model those to your requirements. There is nothing special about the commands, but you do need to follow the startup/shutdown sequence to avoid any discontinuity of monitoring. The agent does start a watchdog that monitors the health of the actual monitoring process. This is done automatically at agent start. Therefore you could use Oracle Clusterware but you should not need to.
