Source Program (sproc) collected as UNKNOWN

Question & Answer


Question

Why is the source program (sproc) not being collected by Guardium and instead recording it as unknown?

Cause

The database itself is sending the value of 'unknown' as seen in the packet example below:

Answer

Guardium cannot log the source program (sproc) due to the database server not sending the information as seen in the example above.
