• With the Oracle connector, you can connect to an Oracle database via a JDBC driver.
  
• The database will then be monitored by querying information from the database with SQL requests
• To create connector, there are two steps:
  • Create a user profile in the database and register it in Redpeaks
  • Create and set connector parameters

• Database user must be created
• Grant SELECT on the below tables:
  • ALL_OBJECTS
  • ALL_ERRORS
  • DBA_DATA_FILES
  • DBA_FREE_SPACE
  • DBA_TABLESPACE_USAGE_METRICS
  • DBA_TABLESPACES
  • DBA_TEMP_FILES
  • V$FILESTAT
  • V$LIBRARYCACHE
  • V$LOG_HISTORY
  • V$RESOURCE_LIMIT
  • V$RMAN_BACKUP
  • V$RMAN_BACKUP_JOB_DETAILS
  • V$SYSSTAT
  • V$TEMP_SPACE_HEADER

• User profiles can be created via the Configure menu
• Once created, the user profile can be selected in the connector form
• Note: A user profile is by default associated with a company . You can explicitly set a profile to be cross companies. The effect is that it will be selectable from connectors of any companies.
• The corresponding user must be created in the database as well.

• Select the system in the Systems tree and select “Add connector” in its contextual menu, choose Oracle type.
• Fill in the connector parameters:
  • Title The display name of the connector
  • Host: The hostname or IP address of the database host
  • Port: The port of the database service (Default is often 1521)
  • Database name: The database to connect to
  • User: The user profile to use for the connection
  • Properties: Optional properties to add to the connection parameters (separated with semicolon (;)

Press Save & Test to save the profile and check the connection is working

• In case you must connect to a database through an SSH tunnel, you can enable the SSH option and fill in the parameter:
  • Host: The host where the entrance of the tunnel is created.
  • Port: The local port of the SSH tunnel
  • User: The user to authenticate on the SSH end point.
