Introduction

Configuring Oracle Cloud (OCI) in OpsRamp involves creating users and IAM policies, obtaining necessary credentials from Oracle Cloud, and setting up the integration in OpsRamp. Follow the steps below to ensure a smooth setup process.

Create User and IAM Policies

  1. If a new user is needed to create API keys and access resources in the OCI tenancy, follow the steps mentioned in Create a new OCI user to create a new user.
  2. After creating a user or for an existing user, ensure they have the appropriate IAM policies assigned to their user group to access the required resources. Add the following permissions to the IAM policies for the user group:
    • If a user is unable to view or add API keys under My Profile → API Keys, ensure that the following permission is added to their IAM policy:
      allow group <GroupName> to manage api-keys in tenancy
    • To discover and monitor OCI resources across the tenancy, add the following permissions to the IAM policy:
      allow group <GroupName> to manage all-resources in tenancy
