JDBC log source parameters for Pirean Access: One

If JSA does not automatically detect the log source, add a Pirean Access: One log source on the JSA Console by using the JDBC protocol.

When using the JDBC protocol, there are specific parameters that you must use.

The following table describes the parameters that require specific values to collect JDBC events from Pirean Access: One:

Table 1: Pirean Access: One JDBC Log Source Parameters

Parameter

Description

Log Source Name

Type a unique name for the log source.

Log Source Description(Optional)

Type a description for the log source.

Log Source Type

Pirean Access: One

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

DB2

Database Name

Type the name of the database to which you want to connect. The default database name is LOGINAUD.

IP or Hostname

Type 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.

Username

A user account for JSA in the database.

Password

The password that is required to connect to the database.

Confirm Password

The password that is required to connect to the database.

Table Name

Type AUDITDATA as the name of the table or view that includes the event records.

The table name can be up to 255 alphanumeric characters in length. The table name can include the following special characters: dollar sign ($), number sign (#), underscore (_), en dash (-), and period(.).

Select List

Type * to include all fields from the table or view.

You can use a comma-separated list to define specific fields from tables or views, if it is needed for your configuration. The list must contain the field that is defined in the Compare Field parameter. The comma-separated list can be up to 255 alphanumeric characters in length. The list can include the following special characters: dollar sign ($), number sign (#), underscore (_), en dash (-), and period(.).

Compare Field

Type TIMESTAMP to identify new events added between queries to the table.

The compare field can be up to 255 alphanumeric characters in length. The list can include the special characters: dollar sign ($), number sign (#), underscore (_), en dash (-), and period(.).

Use Prepared Statements

Select this check box to use prepared statements, which allows the JDBC protocol source to set up the SQL statement one time, then run the SQL statement many times with different parameters. For security and performance reasons, it is suggested that you use prepared statements.

Clear this check box to use an alternative method of querying that does not use pre-compiled statements.

Start Date and Time

Optional. Configure the start date and time for database polling.

The Start Date and Time parameter must be formatted as 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

Type the polling interval, which is the amount of time between queries to the event table. The default polling interval is 10 seconds.

You can define a longer polling interval by appending H for hours or M for minutes to the numeric value. The maximum polling interval is 1 week in any time format. Numeric values without an H or M designator poll in seconds.

EPS Throttle

Type the number of Events Per Second (EPS) that you do not want this protocol to exceed. The default value is 20000 EPS.

Security Mechanism

From the list, select the security mechanism that is supported by your DB2 server. If you don't want to select a security mechanism, select None.

The default is None.

Enabled

Select this check box to enable the Pirean Access: One log source.
