# OCI Web Application Firewall
Integration version1.0.0
## Overview{% #overview %}

Oracle Web Application Firewall (WAF) protects applications from malicious and unwanted internet traffic with a cloud-based, PCI-compliant, global web application firewall service.

This integration allows you to monitor and alert on the health, capacity, and performance of your firewall by collecting metrics and tags from the [oci_waf](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/WAF/Reference/metricsalarms.htm) namespace.

## Setup{% #setup %}

### Installation{% #installation %}

After setting 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).
