Monitor Oracle Database with Datadog

Oracle Database is widely used in businesses for managing complex data sets and supporting various applications. It offers scalability, advanced partitioning, and optimized data availability across large infrastructures. Datadog has introduced an integration to monitor Oracle databases, collecting key metrics and visualizing them in a customizable dashboard. Users can create custom alerts based on these metrics to identify performance or capacity issues. Key Oracle metrics to monitor include tablespace usage, caches and buffers within the system global area (SGA), and disk I/O. The integration also provides additional data for assessing session activity, database wait time, and Real Application Clusters' global cache.
