Summary

Oracle Database, a widely used enterprise multi-model database system, can now be seamlessly monitored using the newly announced Oracle Database integration in Grafana Cloud. This integration simplifies the process by utilizing metrics from the open-source oracledb_exporter project embedded within the Grafana Agent, allowing users to easily collect both metrics and logs. After setting up a Grafana Cloud account and installing the OracleDB Infrastructure Integration, users gain access to a pre-built overview dashboard and a set of alerts that provide insights into key performance metrics such as resource utilization, wait times, and tablespace capacity. The dashboard offers a comprehensive view of the database state, while alerts notify users of potential issues like session and process limits being exceeded. This integration not only enhances monitoring capabilities but also facilitates troubleshooting by correlating logs and metrics, making Grafana Cloud a user-friendly solution for managing Oracle Database performance.
