Linux-UNIX: S-TAP functionality

Familiarize yourself with these concepts before starting an S-TAP installation on a UNIX system.

Linux-UNIX: S-TAP monitoring mechanisms support matrix
Select your S-TAP® setup depending on the data you want to monitor or block. Use this table to identify the monitoring mechanisms (Exit libraries, K-TAP, A-TAP) that can perform the operations you require, per operating system and database.
Linux-UNIX: S-TAP monitoring mechanisms
The Guardium® UNIX S-TAP uses several different monitoring mechanisms to collect database traffic. During configuration, you can choose the method that best meets your requirements. All mechanisms filter the traffic to reduce network overhead and increase performance.
Linux-UNIX: S-TAP to collector encryption
S-TAP agents can be configured to communicate with collectors over the network in an encrypted (TLS) manner.
Linux-UNIX: UID chains
UID chain is a mechanism that allows S-TAP (by way of K-TAP) to track the chain of users that occurred before a database connection.
Linux-UNIX: Proxy firewall
Learn how to monitor traffic that originates from a proxy server.
Linux-UNIX: Using automation tools with the S-TAP and sample scripts
Guardium UNIX S-TAP has many script based interfaces to assist in the installation, configuration, and maintenance of the UNIX S-TAP agents. The following links provide you with the information necessary to create the automation scripts that work in your environment.
