JDBC Query Detector

The JDBCQueryDetector connects to a JDBC-enabled database and checks for any result from a user-specified SQL query. If the query returns a result, the detector returns the detected value. If the query does not return a result, the detector returns the not detected value.

Configuration and use

The JDBCQueryDetector uses the common configuration parameters.

Table 1. Parameters for the JDBCQueryDetector
Parameter	Description	Default value
Required
dbDriver	Database driver class name.	org.postgresql.Driver
password	JDBC password.	Empty String object.
sqlQuery	The SQL query to check.	Empty String object.
url	JDBC URL to query. Note: this URL can differ based on JDBC drivers, databases, and so on.	`jdbc:postgresql://localhost/opennms`
user	JDBC username.	postgres
Optional
port	Port to query.	3306

Database driver

The JDBCQueryDetector requires a JDBC driver to communicate with any database. Meridian uses a PostgreSQL database, so the PostgreSQL JDBC driver is included out of the box. For all other database systems, you must provide a compatible JDBC driver as a .jar file. To provide a JDBC driver, place the driver-jar in your ${OPENNMS_HOME}/lib folder.

Examples

<detector name="MySQL-JDBC" class="org.opennms.netmgt.provision.detector.jdbc.JdbcQueryDetector">
    <parameter key="password" value="borkborkbork"/>
    <parameter key="user" value="opennms"/>
    <parameter key="dbDriver" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>
    <parameter key="url" value="jdbc:mysql://OPENNMS_JDBC_HOSTNAME:3306/test"/>
    <parameter key="sqlQuery" value="select * from nodes;"/>
    <parameter key="timeout" value="5000"/>
</detector>

This example assumes you have loaded the MySQL driver file (see Install JDBC Driver).
