   Table 2: Riverbed SteelCentral NetProfiler JDBC Log Source Parameters

   Parameter	Description
   Log Source Type	Riverbed SteelCentral NetProfiler
   Protocol Configuration	JDBC
   Log Source Identifier	Type a name for the log source. The name can't contain spaces and must be unique among all log sources of the log source type that is configured to use the JDBC protocol. If the log source collects events from a single appliance that has a static IP address or host name, use the IP address or host name of the appliance as all or part of the Log Source Identifier value; for example, 192.168.1.1 or JDBC192.168.1.1. If the log source doesn't collect events from a single appliance that has a static IP address or host name, you can use any unique name for the Log Source Identifier value; for example, JDBC1, JDBC2.
   Database Type	Postgres
   Database Name	You can type the actual name of the Riverbed database. For most configurations, the database name is mazu. Tip: Confirm the actual name of the Riverbed database.
   IP or Hostname	The IP address or host name of the database server.
   Port	Enter the JDBC port. The JDBC port must match the listener port that is configured on the remote database. The database must permit incoming TCP connections. The valid range is 1 - 65535. The defaults are: MSDE - 1433 Postgres - 5432 MySQL - 3306 Sybase - 1521 Oracle - 1521 Informix - 9088 DB2 - 50000 If a database instance is used with the MSDE database type, you must leave the Port field blank.
   Table Name	events.export_csv_view
   Select List	The list of fields to include when the table is polled for events. You can use a comma-separated list or type an asterisk (*) to select all fields from the table or view. If a comma-separated list is defined, the list must contain the field that is defined in the Compare Field.
   Username	The user name for the account that is configured to access the PostgreSQL database on the Riverbed SteelCentral NetProfiler system.
   Password	The password that is required to connect to the database.
   Comparable Field	start_time
   Use Prepared Statements	Prepared statements enable the JDBC protocol source to set up the SQL statement, and then run the SQL statement numerous times with different parameters. For security and performance reasons, most JDBC protocol configurations can use prepared statements.
   Start Date and Time (Optional)	Type the start date and time for database polling in the following format: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm with HH specified by using a 24-hour clock. If the start date or time is clear, polling begins immediately and repeats at the specified polling interval.
   Polling Interval	5M
   EPS Throttle	The number of Events Per Second (EPS) that you do not want this protocol to exceed. The valid range is 100 - 20,000.
