Plugin configuration

To connect to the database to be monitored, the following fields must be completed in the pandora_sybase.conf file:

  • isql = Path to the interactive isql terminal
  • mode=Tentacle by default
  • tentacle_ip = IP address of the Pandora server
  • tentacle_port = Tentacle port of the Pandora server, 41121 by default.

  • numberdatabases = Number of databases to be monitored. For each database, the corresponding user, password, server, and name_agent must be configured. For example, if two databases need to be monitored, the configuration parameters would be user1, password1, server1 for the first database, and user2, password2, and server2 for the second.

Example:

user1=sa
password1=p4assword
server1=desktop12
name_agent1=sybase_desktop12

user2=sa
password2=Fr4gile
server2=desktop7
name_agent2=sybase_desktop7

* If the database can only be accessed via isql by specifying the port, it must be included in the configuration file, for example: desktop12:2083

  • numberqueries = Number of custom queries to be executed (each one will create a module). For each query, in addition to the query itself, a module name and a module type must be defined. The parameters for configuring each query are: query, namemodule, and typemodule. For example, if two modules are to be created, query1, namemodule1, and typemodule1 will define the first, while query2, namemodule2, and typemodule2 will define the second.

Example:

query1=select sum^(case when u.segmap != 4 then size - curunreservedpgs^(u.dbid, u.lstart, u.unreservedpgs^^^) end^^^)/1048576.*4096 as data_used from master..sysdatabases d, master..sysusages u where u.dbid = d.dbid and d.status != 256 and db_name^(u.dbid^^^) = 'test'
namemodule1=data used database test
typemodule1=generic_data

query2=select sum^(case when u.segmap != 4 then size - curunreservedpgs^(u.dbid, u.lstart, u.unreservedpgs^^^) end^^^)/1048576.*4096 as data_used from master..sysdatabases d, master..sysusages u where u.dbid = d.dbid and d.status != 256 and db_name^(u.dbid^^^) = 'master'
namemodule2=data used database master
typemodule2=generic_data

Example of .conf file

isql=C:\SAP\OCS-16_0\bin\isql

# number of databases
numberdatabases=1

# database user
user1=sa
password1=pandorapass
server1=DESKTOPDQN7L842
name_agent1=sybase_DESKTOPDQN7L842

mode=tentacle
tentacle_ip=192.168.0.29
tentacle_port=41121

# number of queries
numberqueries=2

# queries and modules

query1=select sum^(case when u.segmap != 4 then size - curunreservedpgs^(u.dbid, u.lstart, u.unreservedpgs^^^) end^^^)/1048576.*4096 as data_used from master..sysdatabases d, master..sysusages u where u.dbid = d.dbid and d.status != 256 and db_name^(u.dbid^^^) = 'test'
namemodule1=data used database test
typemodule1=generic_data

query2=select sum^(case when u.segmap != 4 then size - curunreservedpgs^(u.dbid, u.lstart, u.unreservedpgs^^^) end^^^)/1048576.*4096 as data_used from master..sysdatabases d, master..sysusages u where u.dbid = d.dbid and d.status != 256 and db_name^(u.dbid^^^) = 'master'
namemodule2=data used database master
typemodule2=generic_data
