Adding Oracle on Linux
Published 18 February 2025
Additional configuration required
Make sure you have Preparing Oracle for monitoring before adding a Oracle instance to Redgate Monitor.
This page explains how to add Oracle instances running on self managed Linux.
Multi-tenancy support
In Redgate Monitor, we support multi-tenant monitoring from CDB-level. When adding Oracle instance, be aware to provide Service name of the desired CDB.
Go to Configuration → Monitored servers → Add → Oracle instance
To add the Oracle instance on a Linux machine, enter the machine IP address (under the machine name) and Service name.
- You will need to provide two sets of credentials to connect to:
- The host Linux machine on which the instance is running.
- The Oracle instance.
Redgate Monitor uses SSH to connect to a Linux host, you can either use password authentication or public key authentication, see Connecting to a Linux Machine. For the instance, enter the Oracle credentials.
Redgate Monitor does not require any root privileges for the SSH connection.
When you click Add, Redgate Monitor attempts to add the host machine and instance to the list of monitored servers:
Once added, the server name can't be edited. If you typed the name incorrectly, the server will be added with a status of "Connection failed (Unreachable)". To fix this, remove the server and add it again.Once a connection is established and a data collection event succeeded, the status is displayed as Monitoring (Connected). If Redgate Monitor encounters a problem and displays a different status, see Monitoring status explained.
Editing the credentials or properties of monitored servers
