# OCI Kafka
Integration version1.0.0
## Overview{% #overview %}

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Kafka is a fully managed, scalable, and secure Apache Kafka service for building real-time streaming data pipelines.

This integration allows you to monitor the performance, throughput, and health of your Kafka clusters by collecting metrics and tags from the [`oci_kafka`](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/kafka/metrics.htm) namespace.

## Setup{% #setup %}

### Installation{% #installation %}

After you set up the [Oracle Cloud Infrastructure](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/oracle_cloud_infrastructure/) integration, ensure that the `oci_kafka` namespace is included in your [Connector Hub](https://cloud.oracle.com/connector-hub/service-connectors).
