# OCI Instance Pools
Integration version1.0.0
## Overview{% #overview %}

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Instance Pools allow for the creation and management of multiple compute instances within the same region as a group.

This integration collects metrics to monitor and alert on the lifecycle state of instances in your instance pools by collecting metrics from the [oci_instancepools](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Compute/References/instancepoolmetrics.htm) namespace.

## Setup{% #setup %}

### Installation{% #installation %}

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