SNMP
AccelOps uses SNMP to discover and monitor this device. Make sure SNMP is enabled for the device as directed in its product documentation, then follow the instructions in Setting Access Credentials for Device Discovery to establish the connection between the device and AccelOps, and to initiate the device discovery process.
JDBC for Database Auditing – MySQL Server
You need to configure your MySQL Server to write audit logs to a database table. This topic in the MySQL documentation explains more about how to set the destination tables for log outputs.
- Start MySQL server with TABLE output enabled.
- Login to mysql, run the following SQL commands to enable general.log in MyISAM.
You can now configure AccelOps to communicate with your device by following the instructions in Setting Access Credentials for Device Discovery, and then initiate discovery of the device as described in the topics in Discovering Infrastructure. Settings for Access Credentials
