If a new sensor reports that it is monitoring a DBMS that is already recognized by the Database Security system, approve the DBMS when you approve the sensor.
On the Approve DBMS page, select the DBMSs to be monitored by the sensor.
You can filter the list of DBMSs by selecting All DBMSs, New DBMSs, or Existing DBMSs from the drop-down list
If more than one DBMS has the same name, select one of these from the adjacent drop-down list:
New — Indicates this is a new DBMS that needs to be monitored separately from the existing DBMS.
Merge — Indicates this DBMS is the same DBMS and the entries should be merged.
Cluster — Indicates that the DBMS is included in a cluster (and your policy for the DBMS will be installed on all cluster members). If you select Cluster, the display expands to show details for the DBMS.
You can choose whether you want to install triggers on each DBMS. It is highly recommended to use triggers (chosen by default) with Oracle DBMSs. Triggers used by Database Security are highly efficient and have minimal impact on the DBMS performance. Use triggers with MS SQL servers when you intend to use Database Security's prevention capabilities (allowing you to stop DDL actions before they take place). You can always change your choice later by selecting DBMS properties on the DBMSs tab, or by selecting Manage DBMSs on the Sensors page.
