Database Settings

The Database Settings page enables you to manage the databases that store the transaction, packet, and protocol records.

The same database or separate databases can be used by Reveille User Analytics. MongoDB is an optional database recommended for storing the captured packets and messages for high volume environments.

General Settings

Database Type. Select the Database Subsystem supported by Reveille User Analytics. A Database Subsystem is required by Reveille User Analytics.

Debug On. When selected, the application logs database debugging records.

Connection Timeout. Enter the amount of seconds to occur before the connection "times out". A "time out" occurs when a period of inactivity exceeds the allowable value. Default: 60 seconds.

Command Timeout. Enter the amount of seconds to occur before the command "times out". A "time out" occurs when a period of inactivity exceeds the allowable value. Default: 60 seconds.

Save. Click to implement any changes. A confirmation message will be shown.

Transaction Database

The Transaction Database is the data source used to store user transaction activity for each application (Transaction DSN, for example).

Define the following settings for the Transaction Database:

• ODBC Datasource. Name of the data source file used for the Transaction Database.
• Database User ID. Enter the user name used to connect to the database.
• Database Password. Enter the password for the Database User ID.
• Password Confirmation. Confirm the password.
• Test Connection. Click to test the database connection. If successful, a message giving the status will appear at the top of the page.

Packet Database

The Packet Database is the data source used to store packet activity received from the collector.

Define the following settings for the Packet Database:

• ODBC Datasource. Name of the data source file used for the Packet Database.
• Database User ID. Enter the user name used to connect to the database.
• Database Password. Enter the password for the Database User ID.
• Password Confirmation. Confirm the password.
• Test Connection. Click to test the database connection. If successful, a message giving the status will appear at the top of the page.

Protocol Database

The Protocol Database is the data source used to store protocol activity received from the collector.

Define the following settings for the Protocol Database:

• ODBC Datasource. Name of the data source file used for the Protocol Database.
• Database User ID. Enter the user name used to connect to the database.
• Database Password. Enter the password for the Database User ID.
• Password Confirmation. Confirm the password.
• Test Connection. Click to test the database connection. If successful, a message giving the status will appear at the top of the page.

MongoDB

MongoDB is recommended for storing the captured packets and messages for high volume environments. A Relational Database Subsystem is required by Reveille User Analytics for configuration, operation, and transaction data storage.

Define the following general settings for MongoDB:

• Debug On. When selected, the application logs database debugging records.
• Connection Timeout. Enter the amount of seconds to occur before the connection "times out". A "time out" occurs when a period of inactivity exceeds the allowable value. Default: 60 seconds.
• Command Timeout. Enter the amount of seconds to occur before the command "times out". A "time out" occurs when a period of inactivity exceeds the allowable value. Default: 60 seconds.
• Save. Click to implement any changes. A confirmation message will be shown.

Use MongoDB for Messages

MongoDB will store the protocol messages received from the collector.

Define the following settings:

• Server. Name or IP address of the MongoDB server and optionally the Mongo DB port number.
• Database. Name of the MongoDB database.
• Database User ID. Enter the user name used to connect to the database.
• Database Password. Enter the password for the Database User ID.
• Password Confirmation. Confirm the password.
• Test Connection. Click to test the database connection. If successful, a message giving the connection status will appear at the top of the page.

Use MongoDB for Packets

MongoDB will store the packets received from the collector.

Define the following settings:
