im_odbc query Orcale 12g sys.aud$ table
Hello, I'm trying to query the oracle sys.aud$ table using the nxlog odbc input module (Oracle 12.1.0.2.0) for new audit-events. I'm using NXlog and the odbc module 4.3.4308. The Error that NXLog is presenting me is: ERROR SQLDescribeParam returned zero parameter_size or decimal_digit(999, 0)
I'm querying the table as follows:
<Input input-asdf> Module im_odbc SQL select NTIMESTAMP# AS id, SESSIONID, ENTRYID, STATEMENT, TIMESTAMP#, USERID, USERHOST, TERMINAL, ACTION#, RETURNCODE, OBJ$CREATOR, OBJ$NAME, AUTH$PRIVILEGES, AUTH$GRANTEE, NEW$OWNER, NEW$NAME, SES$ACTIONS, SES$TID, LOGOFF$LREAD, LOGOFF$PREAD, LOGOFF$LWRITE, LOGOFF$DEAD, LOGOFF$TIME, COMMENT$TEXT, CLIENTID, SPARE1, SPARE2, OBJ$LABEL, SES$LABEL, PRIV$USED, SESSIONCPU, NTIMESTAMP#, PROXY$SID, USER$GUID, INSTANCE#, PROCESS#, XID, AUDITID, SCN, DBID, SQLBIND, SQLTEXT, OBJ$EDITION FROM sys.aud$ WHERE NTIMESTAMP# > ? order by NTIMESTAMP# ASC;
ConnectionString DSN=asdf;uid=fdsa;pwd=fdsa;database=asdf SavePos TRUE MaxIdSQL select MAX(NTIMESTAMP#) as maxid from sys.aud$ PollInterval 900 IdType Timestamp
</Input>
I'm not sure if the NTIMSTAMP# column is in the correct format, so I tried casting it using TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(NTIMESTAMP#, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'), 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') into a datetime since according to documentation the NTIMESTAMP is from the type Timestamp(6). If it is better to query using another Parameter I'm also happy to use another parameter from the sys.aud$ table!
Also I had the problem before that when restarting the NXLog agent some data would be queried again. I figured that this should be resolved with the MaxIdSQL parameter, however I couldn't verify that yet.
Best regards
