<h1>Oracle Database Output Module</h1>
<p><b>Module Name: omoracle</b></p>
<p><b>Author: </b>Luis Fernando Muñoz Mejías <Luis.Fernando.Munoz.Mejias@cern.ch></p>
<p><b>Available since: </b>: 4.3.0
<p><b>Status: </b>: contributed module, not maitained by rsyslog core authors
<p><b>Description</b>:</p>
<p>This module provides native support for logging to Oracle
databases. It offers superior performance over the more
generic <a href="omlibdbi.html">omlibdbi</a> module. It also includes
a number of enhancements, most importantly prepared statements and
batching, what provides a big performance improvement.
</p>
<p>Note that this module is maintained by its original author. If you need assistance with it,
it is suggested to post questions to the
<a href="http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog">rsyslog mailing list</a>.
<p>From the header comments of this module:
<p><pre>
This is an output module feeding directly to an Oracle
database. It uses Oracle Call Interface, a propietary module
provided by Oracle.
Selector lines to be used are of this form:
:omoracle:;TemplateName
The module gets its configuration via rsyslog $... directives,
namely:
$OmoracleDBUser: user name to log in on the database.
$OmoracleDBPassword: password to log in on the database.
$OmoracleDB: connection string (an Oracle easy connect or a db
name as specified by tnsnames.ora)
$OmoracleBatchSize: Number of elements to send to the DB on each
transaction.
$OmoracleStatement: Statement to be prepared and executed in
batches. Please note that Oracle's prepared statements have their
placeholders as ':identifier', and this module uses the colon to
guess how many placeholders there will be.
All these directives are mandatory. The dbstring can be an Oracle
easystring or a DB name, as present in the tnsnames.ora file.
The form of the template is just a list of strings you want
inserted to the DB, for instance:
$template TestStmt,"%hostname%%msg%"
Will provide the arguments to a statement like
$OmoracleStatement \
insert into foo(hostname,message)values(:host,:message)
Also note that identifiers to placeholders are arbitrary. You
need to define the properties on the template in the correct order
you want them passed to the statement!

REQUIREMENTS:
--------------
- Oracle Instantclient 10g (NOT 11g) Base + Devel
(if you´re on 64-bit linux you should choose the 64-bit libs!)
- JDK 1.6 (not neccessary for oracle plugin but "make" didd not finsished successfully without it)
- "oracle-instantclient-config" script
(seems to shipped with instantclient 10g Release 1 but i was unable to find it for 10g Release 2 so here it is)
====================== /usr/local/bin/oracle-instantclient-config =====================
#!/bin/sh
#
# Oracle InstantClient SDK config file
# Jean-Christophe Duberga - Bordeaux 2 University
#
# just adapt it to your environment
incdirs="-I/usr/include/oracle/10.2.0.4/client64"
libdirs="-L/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.4/client64/lib"

COMPILING RSYSLOGD
-------------------
./configure --enable-oracle
RUNNING
-------
- make sure rsyslogd is able to locate the oracle libs (either via LD_LIBRARY_PATH or /etc/ld.so.conf)
- set TNS_ADMIN to point to your tnsnames.ora
- create a tnsnames.ora and test you are able to connect to the database
- create user in oracle as shown in the following example:
create user syslog identified by syslog default tablespace users quota unlimited on users;
grant create session to syslog;
create role syslog_role;
grant syslog_role to syslog;
grant create table to syslog_role;
grant create sequence to syslog_role;
- create tables as needed
- configure rsyslog as shown in the following example
$ModLoad omoracle
$OmoracleDBUser syslog
$OmoracleDBPassword syslog
$OmoracleDB syslog
$OmoracleBatchSize 1
$OmoracleBatchItemSize 4096
$OmoracleStatementTemplate OmoracleStatement
$template OmoracleStatement,"insert into foo(hostname,message) values (:host,:message)"
$template TestStmt,"%hostname%%msg%"
*.* :omoracle:;TestStmt
(you guess it: username = password = database = "syslog".... see $rsyslogd_source/plugins/omoracle/omoracle.c for me info)
