Google stackdriver database agent for OracleDB?

We know that Google's stackdriver supports monitroing for third-party applications like postgresql, mysql, couchdb and others mentioned here. They have also defined the service configuration files for the monitoring agent here.

As per my understanding, I think they somehow use collectd's third-party plugins somewhere in this. Also, since there exists a plugin for Oracle, stackdriver should support that too. But I can't see Oracle in the list of supported third-party applications. So, does stackdriver support it or not?

Since this don't involve programming I flagged, you might want to move into the right blog. - Luke
See the explanation and example in the link. You would deliver your metrics using custom metrics. Be aware of the cost implications of this mechanism. If you want to get the Oracle plugin supported by Stackdriver, you should submit an issue.cloud.google.com/monitoring/agent/custom-metrics-agent issuetracker.google.com/issues/… - DazWilkin

The Stackdriver monitoring agent package does not bundle the oracle plugin, so it's not supported. You may be able to write a shell script (invoked via the exec plugin) or a Python script (invoked via the python plugin) to query your database, and the custom metrics mechanism to ingest metrics. You could also try BindPlane from our partner, Blue Medora.
