# OCI Block Storage
Integration version1.0.0
## Overview{% #overview %}

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Block Volumes provide reliable, high performance, low-cost block storage that persists beyond the lifespan of a virtual machine, with built-in redundancy and scalability.

This integration allows to you monitor and alert on the performance and replication status your Block Volume resources by using collecting metrics and tags from the [oci_blockstore](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Block/References/volumemetrics.htm) namespace.

## Setup{% #setup %}

### Installation{% #installation %}

Once you set up the [Oracle Cloud Infrastructure](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/oracle_cloud_infrastructure/) integration, ensure that any namespaces mentioned above are included in your [Connector Hub](https://cloud.oracle.com/connector-hub/service-connectors).
