Command
winAuth
connectFile
The application saves all the above connection details along with the encrypted password to the
file. All other SDM command line commands refer to the specified file. This step
sdm.connect
should be completed the first time you use the SDM command line on a machine and every time you
want to change the connection details the application uses.
To run saveConnection:
1 Execute the command as follows:
-action saveConnection -server <postgresql> -host <hostIpaddress/hostName>
-port <portnum> -database <databaseName/SID> [-driverProps
<propertiesFile] {-user <dbUser> -password <dbPass> | -winAuth} -
connectFile <filenameToSaveConnection>
The following example saves connections for a host with an IP address of 10.0.0.1 at port 5432.
PostgreSQL Example:
-action saveConnection -server postgresql -host 10.0.0.1 -port 5432 -
database SIEM -user dbauser -password xxxxxx -connectFile sdm.connect
This saves the connection details to the
filename as input to connect to the designated database and to perform their actions.

11.3.5 Adding Partitions

The addPartitions action adds the required number of partitions in the following tables according to
the partition configuration settings:
PostgreSQL:
EVENTS
AUDIT_RECORD
CORRELATED_EVENTS
EVT_DEST_EVT_NAME_SMRY_1
EVT_DEST_SMRY_1
EVT_DEST_TXNMY_SMRY_1
EVT_PORT_SMRY_1
EVT_SEV_SMRY_1
EVT_SRC_SMRY_1
NOTE: Partitions are added in database both for events and correlated events if you select any one
of these two. Partitions are added for all the summary tables if you select any one of them.
If you have configured the database to have 10 days worth of partitions, every time you run
addPartitions it checks to see if you have 10 days of partitions available. If you have enough
partitions for the next 10 days it does nothing. If not, it adds the required number of partitions.
Command Flags
