SAM noob here,
I'm trying to set up a simple query to return a value (select count(*) from ent_flash_traffic_5min where create_date >= SYSDATE-15/1440). How do i go about creating a connection the database and what monitor template should I use?

How do I setup a connection to my oracle database in SAM?
Adding an Oracle Database Server to SAM
This document should answer everything you need to know about setting up Oracle User Experience Monitors in SAM

Thanks for the information guys!!! I followed the to install the basic lite oracle client and on step 10 it has me shutdown everything. Everything stopped except for SolarWinds JMX Bridge. It's status says stopping but its been well over 15 minutes. I've tried start and stoping but the status doesn't change. Any ideas what i should try next?
I would recommend opening Task Manager on the Orion server and killing (ending task) on the "jsl.exe" process
Thanks, that worked!
I think I'm almost there but I'm I have a question about part of the installation. Do these two additional components need to be install on the database or the server where SAM lives in?
SAM requires two additional components in order to monitor Oracle databases:
Oracle's Instant ClientSolarWinds Oracle Plug-in.
The steps below should result in a successfully tested and monitored database.
One of those ODBC drivers should be installed on the Orion server before you will be able to connect to an Oracle database server. You can use the SolarWinds Oracle Plug-in available in your Customer Portal, or download Oracle's Instant Client from Oracle's website.
