oraclehandler.h File Reference

Detailed Description

This handler allows you to use events with a oracle database, see http://www.oracle.com. Typically, you would use this handler to insert events into a database. You may also use this handler to perform queries and regex match the resulting rows using the 'match:' directive. This can be very useful by cross-correllating the current event with others in the database. You may have multiple regex's, each generating its own events. This avoids connecting for each regex, rather it is is read one time for all. You may optionally specify a subsitution string that behaves similar to 'sed' to customize the generated events. If you supply a substitution string, rather than copying the original complete matching string, the substitution string is used, replacing all occurances of the special charcters \[0-9] with the associated substring matches. Note: \0 matches the whole expression, while \1,\2 through \9 are substring matches 1, 2 through 9. An optional 'count:' directive is allowed which will generate the specified event if the row count is within the specified range. You may have multiple 'count:' directives. An optional 'complete:' directive will generate an event after a successful sql execution. An optional 'time:' directive will generate an event after a successful sql execution with the execution time in usec. Regex's are POSIX 1003.2 "extended" form. The sql and subst string replaces the following special symbols with their associated event data:

Symbol	Type
$v	event's value
$v[0-9]	the nth column where value is interpreted as a '\|' delimited string
$n	event's name
$s	event's source
$p	event's priority
$t	event's timestamp as date string
$i	event's timestamp as int

Wire keywords (standard handler keywords documented in Wire )

user: user (user name)
passwd: passwd (password)
db: name of db (database name)
sql: sql string (macro expand format using event info)
complete: event (optional)
time: event (optional)
match: match-event nomatch-event regexp subst send match-event if regex matches, else send nomatch-event, if either match-event or nomatch-event are empty strings they are ignored (optional)
count: count-event min max (optional, if row count is in [min,max] the generate count-event)

Insert Example:


// gonna insert events into 'alarm' table
set sql "insert into alarms (name, value, priority, timestamp) values ('\$n', '\$v', \$p, SYSDATE)"

// make the handler, assumes you have bound 'events' to list of events you care about.
create handler oracle { 
  user: russ passwd: "aware" db: monitordb 
  sql: $sql 
  regevent: $events 
}

Query Example:


// assume that we have a logfileprobe watching /var/log/messages for 'su' to root messages
// and they all get logged the database 'alarms' table for all machines in the enterprise,
// see above insert example for how to store events in the database.

// cross correllate this 'su' event with others in the database, in this case
// we want to generate an alarm if we see more than 5 'su' messages in the
// last hour over ALL the machines in the enterprise
create handler oracle { 
  user: russ passwd: "aware" db: monitordb 
  sql: "select priority from alarms where name='\$n' and timestamp - to_date('00:00', 'MI:SS') > sysdate - to_date('01:00', 'HH:MI')"
  count: $su_alarm 6 10000000
  regevent: $su_event
}
