Overview of the Database Module

The Database Module has been released as a preview feature.

We support connectivity analytics for:

•

MySQL

•

Microsoft SQL Server (2008 and later)

•

Oracle

Unlike most RISC data collection modalities, the Database Module does not have an automated discovery process and must be manually configured. In order for collection to take place, the DB host information and an account with adequate permissions must be manually provided into the RN150. We recommend that a temporary dedicated user is created and used for analyzing the database. The required permissions for the temporary user are outlined in Using the Database Module. We also recommend that the user is removed after the assessment ends.

Note:Oracle Database users: due to the way Oracle manages its dataspaces, we do collect usernames in their role as database schemas.
