I am looking for help with how to set up a device for use with the new MS SQL
ODBC Database Monitor ZenPack.
Is there a way to test ODBC connectivity to a MS SQL Server, Sybase or MySQL
via command line on the Zenoss server?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installed the FreeTDS ODBC Driver
odbcinst.ini
::::::::::::::
[PostgreSQL]
Description = ODBC for PostgreSQL
Driver = /usr/lib/libodbcpsql.so
Setup = /usr/lib/libodbcpsqlS.so
FileUsage = 1
[FreeTDS]
Description = FreeTDS unixODBC Driver
Driver = /usr/lib64/libtdsodbc.so.0
Setup = /usr/lib64/libtdsodbc.so.0
UsageCount = 1
[SQL Server]
Description = FreeTDS unixODBC Driver
Driver = /usr/lib64/libtdsodbc.so.0
Setup = /usr/lib64/libtdsodbc.so.0
UsageCount = 1
Question -> regarding the [SQL Server] label listed in the /etc/odbcinst.ini
file, should there be a space between SQL and Server?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installed the MS SQL ODBC Database Monitor ZenPack and all required ZenPacks.
1. ZenPacks.community.deviceAdvDetail
2. ZenPacks.community.RDBMS provides community.snmp.DatabaseMap
3. ZenPacks.community.ZenODBC provides community.odbc.OdbcPlugin
4. ZenPacks.community.MsSQLMon_ODBC provides MsSql80Database (MS SQL
2000) and MsSql90Database (MS SQL 2005) templates and a
community.odbc.MsSqlDatabaseMap zCollectorPlugin
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Added the following templates to the device which is running MS SQL Server on
it.
Device
Device_WMI_SNMP_v2
MsSql90Database
Perfmon
SQLServer
I am using the community.odbc.MsSqlDatabaseMap Collection Plugin.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following zProperties are populated with an ID that authenticates to the MS
database. I tested the SQL authentication on the SQL Server.
# zWinUser - username
# zWinPassword - password
#zMsSqlConnectionString is set to "Driver={FreeTDS};TDS_Version=8.0;PORT=1433"
# zSQLInstance = SQLSERVER
Question -> How is the zSQLInstance property used?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I model the device, I get the following WARNING ...
2009-09-03 10:59:20 WARNING zen.ZenModeler The plugin
community.odbc.MsSqlDatabaseMap returned no results.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The performance graphs are not populating for Database Files Size or Database
Used Space.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How can I tell if the queries are working?
Does isql work to test this? If so what do I need to run on the command line to
test with?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any assistance that you can provide would be appreciated.
