# Oracle Database integration

Oracle Database is a multi-model relational database management system used widely in enterprise environments. The Oracle Database integration monitors session and process activity, tablespace utilization, and wait events.

|                      |                                                                                                                                               |
|----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **What it monitors** | Sessions, processes, tablespace usage, wait times, resource limits, and `oracledb_up` availability                                            |
| **How it works**     | Grafana Alloy’s built-in OracleDB exporter scrapes metrics from your Oracle instance using Oracle Instant Client                              |
| **What you get**     | 3 alerts + 2 dashboards (Oracle Database overview and Oracle Database logs)                                                                   |
| **Prerequisites**    | Oracle Instant Client installed on the Alloy host with `ORACLE_HOME` set (Alloy 1.9.0+), plus a monitoring user with specific `SELECT` grants |

## What you’ll see in the dashboards

- **Sessions and processes:** Active sessions, process counts, and how close you are to configured limits
- **Tablespace utilization:** Used vs. allocated space across tablespaces
- **Wait events:** Which categories of waits are consuming time inside the database
- **Resource limits:** Current values against `v$resource_limit` thresholds
- **Availability:** `oracledb_up` for at-a-glance health

## Key alerts

| Alert                              | Severity |
|------------------------------------|----------|
| OracledbReachingSessionLimit       | Critical |
| OracledbReachingProcessLimit       | Critical |
| OracledbTablespaceReachingCapacity | Critical |
