Collection of SQL event such as queries and connections to the database

  • 1.  Collection of SQL event such as queries and connections to the database

    Posted Mon August 26, 2024 03:56 PM

    Hi,

    I want to collect SQL events, such as queries and connections to the database. I am trying with WinCollect 10, but it's not working.

    The logs are stored in a folder on the server.

    Is there a way to collect them, and how?

    Thanks

    If I'm not mistaken Wincollect can be used to pick up the content from the SQL ERRORLOG file, and you will not find there the audit events of such a type. Out of the box QRadar uses JDBC to get the audit events from a purpose-prepared view using JDBC. It could be possible to implement reading these from the log file, but AFAIK it would be a custom integration.

    Hi Vidovic,

    Thank you for your response. However, I had understood that Wincollect 10 would allow me to obtain this result.

    I had indeed tried with JDBC, but I encountered issues with the database connection. That is why I wanted to explore another approach.

    Best regards,
