Linux-UNIX: Guardium Hosts (SQLGuard) parameters

These parameters describe a Guardium system to which this S-TAP can connect. All parameters in this section are basic, and appear in the [SQL_GUARD] section.

GUI GIM guard_tap.ini Default value Description

Pool size

  connection_pool_size 0 The number of connections to open between the S-TAP® and the sniffer process on a Guardium® 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_threads) in all of the [SQLGuard_n] sections in the guard_tap.ini.
Valid values:
  • 0: Disable pooling
  • 1-10: (for each defined host)
Main threads   num_main_threads 1 The number of threads that are used between the S-TAP and a Guardium 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.
check mark(checkmark indicates the primary host)   primary   Indicates the primary Guardium system for this S-TAP. In guard_tap.ini: 1=Primary, 2=Seconday, 3=tertiary, and so on
    sqlguard_port 16016 Read only. Port used for S-TAP to connect to Guardium system.
Guardium Host STAP_SQLGUARD_IP sqlguard_ip NULL IP address or hostname of the Guardium system that acts as the host for the S-TAP. You can define multiple hosts by adding sections [SQLGuard_1], [SQLGuard_2], and so on.
