# Oracle Database integration

The Oracle Database integration monitors sessions, processes, tablespace usage, and wait events.

| **What it’s for**  | Monitoring sessions, processes, tablespace capacity, and wait events                   |
| **Under the hood** | Grafana Alloy’s built-in OracleDB exporter scrapes metrics using Oracle Instant Client |

## Metrics collected

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

## What to know

This integration offers:

- Prebuilt dashboards: overview, logs
- Prebuilt alerts: session limit, process limit, tablespace capacity

Prerequisites:

- Requires Oracle Instant Client on the Alloy host with `ORACLE_HOME` set (Alloy 1.9.0+)
- Requires a dedicated Oracle monitoring user with specific grants
