JDBC Log Source Parameters for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager

If JSA does not automatically detect the log source, add a Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) 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 the Microsoft System Center Operations Manager:

Table 1: JDBC Log Source Parameters for the Microsoft System Center Operations Manager DSM

Parameter

Value

Log Source Type

Microsoft SCOM

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

From the list, select MSDE.

Database Name

The name of the Microsoft SCOM database.

Port

Type the port number that is used by the database server. The default port for MSDE is 1433.

The JDBC configuration port must match the listener port of the Microsoft SCOM database. The Microsoft SCOM database must have incoming TCP connections that are enabled to communicate with JSA.

If you define a Database Instance when MSDE is used as the database type, you must leave the Port parameter blank in your configuration.

Table Name

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

Compare Field

Type TimeAdded as the compare field. The compare field is used to identify new events added between queries to the table.
