I've seen several posts here and on the official Customer Support Site about the "Oracle User Experience Monitor" and issues about getting it configured.
Almost all of the posts eventually point to "Install the Oracle driver, or (recommended) install the 'Lite' Oracle client from the Solarwinds Support Site". This installation would presumably be on your SAM polling servers.
I am configuring the SAM "Oracle Database Template", which contains many "Oracle User Experience Monitor" component monitors. When you get to "Oracle Driver Type" inside the component monitor, you get 3 choices:
"Microsoft .NET Data Provider"
"Oracle Data Provider for .NET"
"Managed Oracle data provider for .NET"
Notice there are 3 options to choose from, but everywhere I look I can find to only install 1 of 2 of these options. What do each of these options stand for (i.e. which one is the one "Downloaded from SolarWinds Customer Support site")?
Also: I didn't install anything, I just chose one after another and tested the component monitor and, lo and behold, the 3rd option "Managed Oracle data provider for .NET" worked!? What/where does this driver come from? Is it now built into Windows and/or the new SolarWinds SAM installer these days?
