11 Oracle plugin
Overview
The configuration file of Zabbix agent 2 is used to configure plugins. These Zabbix agent 2 configuration parameters are supported for operating the Oracle plugin.
It is recommended to specify them in their own configuration file (e.g. oracle.conf) and then use the Include directive for adding this file to the Zabbix agent 2 configuration.
Note that:
- The default values reflect process defaults, not the values in the shipped configuration files;
- Values support environment variables;
- Zabbix supports configuration files only in UTF-8 encoding without BOM;
- Comments starting with "#" are only supported at the beginning of the line.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plugins.Oracle.CallTimeout | no | 1-30 | global timeout | The maximum wait time in seconds for a request to be completed. |

| Plugins.Oracle.CustomQueriesPath | no | /usr/local/share/zabbix/custom-queries/oracle for Unix systems*:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent 2\Custom Queries\Oracle for Windows systems, where * is the drive name from the ProgramFiles environment variable |
Full pathname of a directory containing .sql files with custom queries.Example: /etc/zabbix/oracle/sql |

| Plugins.Oracle.Default.Uri | no | tcp://localhost:1521 | Default URI for connecting to Oracle; used if no value is specified in an item key or named session. Should not include embedded credentials (they will be ignored). Must match the URI format. Only tcp scheme is supported; a scheme can be omitted.A port can be omitted (default=1521). It is also possible to specify the TNS key or TNS value as the connection string. The TNS value must be composed without whitespaces. Examples: tcp://127.0.0.1:1521localhostzbx_tns_example (TNS key)(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=xe))) (TNS value) |

If the option is set to true, the default schema and port will be omitted (unless explicitly specified in ConnString), and ConnString will be passed to the Oracle client as is. If the Oracle client finds ConnString in the tnsnames.ora file, the connection description found will be used to connect to the Oracle server. |

Should not include embedded credentials (they will be ignored). Must match the URI format. Only tcp scheme is supported; a scheme can be omitted.A port can be omitted (default=1521). It is also possible to specify the TNS key or TNS value as the connection string. The TNS value must be composed without whitespaces.
