Linux-UNIX: Oracle Unified Auditing parameters

These parameters define the Oracle Unified Auditing connection between the S-TAP and the SQL server.

These parameters are stored in the individual [SQLC_<integer>] sections of the S-TAP properties file, guard_tap.ini. There can be multiple sections in a properties file, each describing one connection for pulling data from a database, which is used by this S-TAP.
Note: The password can be defined only with the API command store_sql_credentials.

guard_tap.ini Default value Description
DB type db_type   Required. The type of data monitored repository. Valid value:
  • Oracle
Instance name instance   Required. service_name that specifies the connection identifier in the tnsnames.ora that is used to connect to the database.
Data pull interval (sec.) data_pull_interval 30 Frequency, in seconds, of S-TAP polls of the audit table that looks for new data.
User name username   Required. User name of a user with access to the database and permission to read entries in the unified audit table.
User role role   Role for user with access to the database and permission to read entries in the audit table, for example, for a user name “sys”, you might specify a user role of “sysdba”
Data pull number of rows data_pull_rows 100 The number of rows to attempt to pull in one iteration. Each check interval, S-TAP attempts to pull the full amount of new data to the collector. Use this parameter to tune the amount of memory that is used by the S-TAP versus impact on the database for collecting data. It is recommended to leave it at the default value.
Timeout (sec.) timeout 300000 Time, in seconds, to allow the database to respond.
