Linux-UNIX: S-TAP Control: Guardium Hosts parameters

Edit online

These parameters describe a Guardium system to which this S-TAP can connect.

Name Default value Description
Guardium Host IP address or hostname of the Guardium system that acts as the host for the S-TAP. You can add Guardium systems for failover or load balancing..
Main threads 1 The number of threads that are used between theS-TAP® and aGuardium® host.

Valid values: 1-10 (maximum total of 10 for all defined Guardium hosts)

Note: Enterprise load balancing does not support multiple threads for a single managed unit. Set this parameter to 1 if you are using enterprise load balancing.
Pool Size The number of connections to open between theS-TAP and the sniffer process on aGuardium host. Increasing the value provides more throughput that might be required when encryption such as TLS is enabled. The maximum number of pooled connections is 50.The total is the sum of (connection_pool_size x num_main_thread) in all of the [SQLGuard_n] sections in the guard_tap.ini.
Valid values:
  • 0: Disable pooling
  • 1-10: (for each defined host)
Active
  • check mark: connection is active.
  • X mark: connection is not active.
You can change the primary S-TAP by clicking Modify, and opening the Guardium Hosts section.
