If I'm monitoring Oracle and Oracle decides to face-plant, I don't want to
be paged at 2:30am because of it; I'd rather the on-call DBA were paged.
Now, if Oracle died because of faulty memory or a disk fault and you didn't
get paged on that, well... you should be checking for those, shouldn't
you...?
