Exporting To Sql - Symantec 10521146 - Network Security 7120 Administration Manual

Exporting to SQL

Note: It may take up to 10 minutes for changes to this parameter to take effect.
Symantec Network Security can export event and incident data to two supported
SQL-compliant databases: Oracle 9i and MySQL 4.0. A Java Database
Connectivity (JDBC) driver identifies the type of database to use, and defines
how Symantec Network Security communicates to the database. JDBC drivers
for both Oracle and MySQL are included in the installation of Symantec Network
Security. You can indicate which driver you want to use, if any, create user login
accounts, and establish tables on the database.
Note: For how to configure SQL export manually, see
Base" on page 22.
This section includes the following export parameters:
Setting Cluster ID

Setting JDBC Driver
■
Setting DB Connection String

Setting Cluster ID
Cluster ID indicates the Network Security cluster sending a message, so that you
can distinguish messages from multiple clusters if spooled to the same database.
This parameter is included in all event and incident messages sent to the
database, and should be unique for each Network Security cluster. Assign the
same Cluster ID to all nodes within a cluster that you enable to export to SQL.
