OCI Monitoring Setup

Last updated - 30 September, 2025

You can configure LogicMonitor to monitor your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) accounts and related resources. This enables you to monitor your compute, storage, and database resources, and to integrate your OCI environment monitoring with other cloud environments LogicMonitor may already monitor.

For more information on OCI resources that LogicMonitor supports, see Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Monitoring.

Requirements for Configuring OCI Monitoring

To enable LogicMonitor to monitor resources in your OCI environment, do the following in your OCI account:

1. Create an OCI User for LogicMonitor. For more information, see Creating a User from OCI.
2. Add the OCI user to a group to manage user access using the group’s access policy.
   For more information, see Creating a Group from OCI. 
3. Create a policy for the OCI group with a compartment at the “tenancy(root)” level. For more information on creating OCI policies, see Policy Syntax from OCI.
4. Add the following permission statements to the  policy:
   • Allow group ‘Default’/'[YOUR GROUP NAME]’ to inspect instance-family in tenancy
   • Allow group ‘Default’/'[YOUR GROUP NAME]’ to read instances in tenancy
   • Allow group ‘Default’/'[YOUR GROUP NAME]’ to inspect volume-family in tenancy
   • Allow group ‘Default’/'[YOUR GROUP NAME]’ to inspect buckets in tenancy
   • Allow group ‘Default’/'[YOUR GROUP NAME]’ to inspect autonomous-database-family in tenancy
   • Allow group ‘Default’/'[YOUR GROUP NAME]’ to read metrics in tenancy
   • Allow group ‘Default’/'[YOUR GROUP NAME]’ to inspect compartments in tenancy
5. When you create the user and add it to a group, you need the following credentials from the OCI user:
   • OCI Tenancy ID
   • OCI User ID
   • OCI Private Key

For more information, see Required Keys and OCIDs from OCI.
