Sophos
PureMessage
A SIEM Sophos PureMessage DSM accepts events using Java Database
Connectivity (JDBC). SIEM records all relevant quarantined email events. This
document provides information on configuring SIEM to access the Sophos
PureMessage database using the JDBC protocol.
SIEM supports the following Sophos PureMessage versions:
•
Sophos PureMessage for Microsoft Exchange - Stores events in a Microsoft
SQL Server database specified as savexquar.
Use Prepared
Statements Select the check box to use prepared statements.
Prepared statements allows the JDBC protocol source to setup the
SQL statement once, and then execute the SQL statement many
times with different parameters. For security and performance
reasons, we recommend that you use prepared statements.
Clearing this check box requires you to use an alternative method
of querying that does not use pre-compiled statements.
Polling Interval Type the polling interval, which is the amount of time between
queries to the event table. The default polling interval is 10
seconds.
You may define a longer polling interval by appending H for hours
or M for minutes to the numeric value. The maximum polling
interval is 1 week in any time format. Numeric values entered
without an H or M poll in seconds.
EPS Throttle Type the number of Event Per Second (EPS) that you do not want
this protocol to exceed. The default value is 20000 EPS.
Use Named Pipe
Communication Clear the Use Named Pipe Communications check box.
When using a Named Pipe connection, the username and
password must be the appropriate Windows authentication
username and password and not the database username and
password. Also, you must use the default Named Pipe.
Database
Cluster Name If you select the Use Named Pipe Communication check box, the
Database Cluster Name parameter is displayed. If you are running
your SQL server in a cluster environment, define the cluster name
to ensure Named Pipe communication functions properly.
