Multiple Issues Upgrading

Open eagle-rr opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

When trying to upgrade the exporter from 0.3.2 to 0.5.1, we are running into issues related to:

  • Use of tnsnames.ora is ignored (as I'm assuming this is due to movement to go-ora)
  • Use of Oracle wallet to retrieve password (as I'm assuming this is due to movement to go-ora)
  • Lack of support for primary/standby in data source connect string (as it looks like only one host is supported currently)

Are there any plans to address or offer work-arounds for above? Or to have an option for the exporter to use Oracle instant client library again (as it is free)?

There is also an issue with "#" in username or password (as must be replaced with %23% per issue in go-ora repository). Are there other special characters which are not natively supported?

Right now, the upgrade to the newer version seems very risky without these options. Any suggestions or work-around?
