Protocol 8 Discovery parameters
The discovery parameters define the behavior of the auto-discovery feature, for discovering database instances and sending the results to the current active S-TAP.
These parameters are stored in the [TAP] section of the S-TAP® properties file. For a full description of the feature, see Windows: Discover database instances.
Attention: These are advanced parameters and should be
modified only by IBM Technical Support.
Attention: If a parameter is available through both the Guardium
installation manager (GIM) and the command line interface (CLI), then the GIM parameter, including
any defaults, always overwrites any value that is available from WINSTAP_CMD_LINE.
| GIM | guard_tap.ini | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| WINSTAP_AUTO_DISCOVERY | AUTO_DISCOVERY | 0 | Enables auto discovery of database instances, populates inspection engines, and updates
guard_tap.ini at S-TAP start. Auto
discovery runs once at the time of S-TAP installation
and does not automatically repeat. The parameter value is 1 upon a fresh install and changes to 0
after the initial discovery. When set to 1, auto-discovery overwrites user modifications to the
inspection engines configurations. Use with caution. Valid values:
|
| WINSTAP_DISCOVERY_INTERVAL | DISCOVERY_INTERVAL | 24 | The time interval, in hours, at which the S-TAP reports its
discovered DB instances to collector. Valid values:
|
| WINSTAP_DISCOVERY_PORT | DISCOVERY_PORT | 8443 | S-TAP uses this port to connect to the Guardium
system. Valid values: 10244-65535. Dynamic parameter. When you modify the value in the guard_tap.ini, the S-TAP does not need restarting for the updated value to take effect. |
