Add a JDBC Driver

The IBM SiteProtector DB, McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator DB, McAfee Vulnerability Manager DB, McAfee Network Security Manager DB, Microsoft SQL Server Audit Multiple Instance DB, Symantec Endpoint Protection DB, and Trend Micro Control Manager NG DB connectors extract events from a SQL Server database. For information about and to download the MS SQL Server JDBC Driver, see the Microsoft web site.

Note: Different versions of the JDBC driver are required for different SQL Server database versions; be sure to use the correct driver for your database version. The name of the jar file may be different for some JDBC driver versions.

The SmartConnector for Snort DB extracts events from a MySQL database.

After downloading and extracting the JDBC driver, upload the driver into the repository and apply it to the appropriate container or containers, as follows:

  1. From ArcSight Express, select Setup > Repositories.

  2. Select JDBC Drivers from the left pane and click the JDBC Drivers tab.

  3. Click Upload to Repository.

  4. From the Repository File Creation Wizard, select Individual Files, and then click Next.

  5. Retain the default selection and click Next.

  6. Click Upload and locate and select the .jar file you downloaded.

  7. Click Submit to add the specified file to the repository and click Next to continue.

  8. After adding all files you require, click Next.

  9. In the Name field, enter a descriptive name for the zip file (JDBCdriver, for example). Click Next.

  10. Click Done to complete the process; the newly added file is displayed in the Name field under Add Connector JDBC Driver File.

  11. To apply the driver file, select the driver .zip file and click the up arrow to invoke the Upload Container Files wizard. Click Next.

  12. Select the container or containers into which the driver is to be uploaded; click Next.

  13. Click Done to complete the process.
