    Hi,

    Can Instana monitor Oracle's Data Guard status and details?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Bobbie,

    You can use Prometheus to get the metrics out of Data Guard and then scrape those with Instana.

    Hi Israel,

    Thanks. No customizable Instana Agent?

    Hi Arthur,

    No, the agent cannot be customized, but you can ingest custom metrics from statsd, opentelemetry, prometheus, etc...

    Hello,
    I understand there's no native support for Oracle Data Guard using the Instana sensor.

    But, there is an open idea: https://automation-management.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/INSTANA-I-4126
