SNARE Microsoft SQL Agent for Security Event Logging

SNARE’s MS SQL Agent facilitates the central collection and processing of MSSQL audit records, with log information, gathered from trace files, converted to a tab delimited text format.

Littleton, CO, USA – Aug 13, 2013 SNARE for MSSQL allows a security administrator to remotely set up, control and monitor the application through a standard web browser and a self-contained installation package, including Setup Wizard and Silent Install options to allow for easy installation and configuration of all critical components.

SNARE MSSQL delivers audit information over UDP or TCP to a SYSLOG server that is running on a remote (or local) machine. A configuration utility allows users to set the appropriate syslog target and priority, as well as the target DNS or IP address of the server that should receive the event information.

The SNARE MSSQL service can be configured to monitor a variety of MSSQL installation types. The default objective template will monitor the master database within the default local MSSQL instance. This can be modified on a per objective basis to specify a named MS SQL instance and a database within that instance. SNARE for MSSQL can also be used to monitor SQL instances running on a failover cluster.

The SNARE MSSQL service will automatically start after completing the initial configuration process. Users can configure appropriate access controls on the SnareMSSQL registry entries using the standard Windows regedt32.exe command, to restrict the permission to read or modify the keys and values to Local or Domain Administrators only.

The SNARE MSSQL Agent supports the following environments:
• For stand-alone instances,
o Windows 2003/XP/Vista/2008/Win7/2008R2, 32 or 64 bit architecture
o Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or above using 32 or 64 bit architecture

• For clustered instances,
o Windows Server 2003/2008/2008R2, 32 or 64 bit architecture arranged in a failover cluster
o Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or above, 32 or 64 bit architecture in either a single or multiple instance deployment
