Oracle Database is widely used in the business world for handling complex data sets across various applications. The database emphasizes scalability, partitioning, and availability, with features like real-time backup and recovery tools. Datadog's new integration allows users to monitor Oracle databases, collecting and visualizing key metrics in a customizable dashboard. This enables users to identify performance bottlenecks and set up alerts for capacity issues. Key metrics include tablespaces, caches, and buffers within the system global area, as well as disk I/O and resource utilization. By monitoring these metrics, users can optimize their database's performance and efficiency, ensuring reliability, scalability, and throughput. The integration provides additional insights into database usage and performance, including session activity, database wait time, and Real Application Clusters' global cache. Users can set up the integration to start graphing and alerting on Oracle metrics immediately, or sign up for a free trial to explore Datadog's capabilities.
