Database Connectors

Database connectors support event collection from databases. They use SQL queries to periodically poll for events. Connectors support major database types, including MS SQL, MS Access, MySQL, Oracle, DB2, Postgres, and Sybase.

The database user must have adequate permission to access and read the database. For Audit database connectors, such as SQL Server Audit DB and Oracle Audit DB, system administrator permission is required.

Some database connectors such as the Microsoft SQL Server Multiple Instance DB connector support multiple database events. Connectors such as the connector for McAfee Vulnerability Manager DB collect events from scanner databases.
