Adding a note for steps needed to allow access to cx_Oracle (will also be including in oracle.yaml.example).

To install cx_Oracle the following steps are needed:

# Download Oracle Instant Client (example dir: ~/oracle)
mkdir -p /opt/oracle/ && cd /opt/oracle/
unzip ~/oracle/instantclient-basic-linux.x64-12.1.0.2.0.zip
unzip ~/oracle/instantclient-sdk-linux.x64-12.1.0.2.0.zip

export LD_RUN_PATH=/opt/oracle/instantclient_12_1
export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/instantclient_12_1

/opt/datadog-agent/embedded/bin/pip install cx_Oracle

From this point the LD_LIBRARY_PATH on the host will need to point to /opt/oracle/instantclient_12_1 when starting/restarting the agent

If you run into issues on this step: /opt/datadog-agent/embedded/bin/pip install cx_Oracle try the following:

ln -sf /opt/oracle/instantclient_12_1/libclntsh.so.12.1 /opt/oracle/instantclient_12_1/libclntsh.so
ln -sf /opt/oracle/instantclient_12_1/libclntshcore.so.12.1 /opt/oracle/instantclient_12_1/libclntshcore.so

after creating these symlinks please try again.

Hi @handigarde ,

Thanks again for your contribution, always very much appreciated. We're currently transitioning our checks to a new SDK-based model for the agent. An unfortunate side-effect is that we have to impose a freeze on the dd-agent repo. The SDK consists of two repositories https://github.com/DataDog/integrations-core and https://github.com/DataDog/integrations-extras, where all of our checks will reside. This PR would belong in the core repository. Would you be so kind as to re-open the PR there? We have facilitated some tools to help you with the SDK development that should help you get up and running in no time:

• SDK guide
• datadog SDK gem.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Thank you for your patience as we make this transition!

@handigarde, I've taken the liberty of opening a PR here to help you transition to the SDK DataDog/integrations-extras#45

I created a patch with your work and dropped it that PR. Please feel free to continue your work there. 🙇
