If you plan to run up.time with an Oracle DataStore, you can use the information in the Oracle TNS connection string to populate database-specific fields that need to be set in the uptime.conf file.
The uptime.conf file settings for an Oracle DataStore are:
dbDriver=oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver dbType=oracle dbHostname=oraserv dbPort=1521 dbName=uptime dbUsername=name dbPassword=password
Below is a sample of a TNS connection string:
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=oracle1-2-3.yourdomain.com) (PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=oradb.yourdomain.com)))
Add the values highlighted in bold in the TNS connection string above into the uptime.conf file as follows:
dbHostname=oracle1-2-3.yourdomain.com dbPort=1521 dbName=oradb.yourdomain.com
