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

OCI PostgreSQL is a fully managed, scalable PostgreSQL database service that ensures reliable and secure data management. It offers automated backups, patching, and scaling, allowing you to focus on application development without the overhead of database maintenance.

This integration allows you to monitor your database's health, capacity, and performance by collecting metrics and tags from the [oci_postgresql](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/postgresql/metrics.htm) namespace.

## Setup{% #setup %}

### Installation{% #installation %}

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