Hi @iopssystem,

For Oracle database monitoring, we have an official wizard that you can use. However, you'll need to install a few extra packages on the XI server first. The directions are in the following guide.

How To Install & Configure The Oracle Client & Plugins
Also, make sure you grab the precise version specified in the guide as that is what we test against.

For Websphere, I would take a look at the community plugins available and find one that fits your requirements. The following guide has instructions on how to install and configure a community plugin.

Hi,

What type of metrics do you want to run checks against. For example, the following plugin will check the queues, if that's all you need, then this one looks easier to setup.
