Configuring DSMs
Oracle DB Listener 277
Step 4
Copy the Perl script to the server that hosts the Oracle server.
NOTE
Perl 5.8 must be installed on the device that hosts the Oracle server.
Step 5
Log in to the Oracle server using an account that has read/write permissions for
the
listener.log
file and the
/var/run
directory.
Step 6
Type the following command and include any additional command parameters to
start the Oracle DB Listener script:
oracle_dblistener_fwdr.pl -h <IP address> -t “tail -F
listener.log”
Where
<IP address>
is the IP address of your SIEM Console or Event Collector.
Table 51-1 Command Parameters
Parameters Description
-D The -D parameter defines that the script is to run in the foreground.
Default is to run as a daemon and log all internal messages to the local
syslog service.
-t The -t parameter defines that the command line is used to tail the log file
(monitors any new output from the listener). The log file may be different
across versions of the Oracle database; some examples are provided
below:
Oracle 9i:
<install_directory>/product/9.2/network/log
/listener.log
Oracle 10g:
<install_directory>/product/10.2.0/db_1/network/log
/listener.log
Oracle 11g:
<install_directory>/diag/tnslsnr/qaoracle11/listener
/trace/listener.log
-f The -f parameter defines the syslog facility.priority to be included at the
beginning of the log.
If nothing is specified,
user.info
is used.
-H The -H parameter defines the host name or IP address for the syslog
header. It is recommended that this be the IP address of the Oracle
server on which the script is running.
-h The -h parameter defines the receiving syslog host (the Event Collector
host name or IP address being used to receive the logs).
-p The -p parameter defines the receiving UDP syslog port.
If a port is not specified,
514
is used.
-r The -r parameter defines the directory name where you wish to create
the .pid file. The default is /var/run. This parameter is ignored if -D is
specified.
