DESCRIPTION
This alert is for Oracle instances only and will tell you when SQL statements have executed more than a defined amount of time. This example uses a 300 second threshold, meaning any SQL statements that have been executing for longer than 300 seconds (5 minutes) will be alerted. The alert query executes against the monitored database directly so caution should be taken on how often the alert is executed, especially if less than the default of every 300 seconds.
