4. MSSQL. The documentation is available on this page: # yum -y install freetds unixODBC unixODBC-devel update ODBC driver configuration file: $ vi /etc/odbcinst.ini [FreeTDS] Driver = /usr/lib64/libtdsodbc.so.0 update ODBC configuration file: $ vi /etc/odbc.ini [sql1] Driver = FreeTDS Server = <SQL server 1 IP> PORT = 1433 TDS_Version = 8.0 [sql2] Driver = FreeTDS Server = <SQL server 2 IP> PORT = 1433 TDS_Version = 8.0 |

some interesting information: http://www.unixodbc.org/doc/conn_pool.html glebs.ivanovskis There is a limited use of it in Zabbix, because every poller is an independent process and UnixODBC will create independent connection pools for them. Just a waste of memory in case of large number of pollers. |

5. SAP Sybase ASE http://www.freetds.org/userguide/odbcconnattr.htm: # yum -y install freetds unixODBC unixODBC-devel update ODBC driver configuration file: $ vi /etc/odbcinst.ini [Sybase] # Sybase ODBC Driver Driver = /usr/lib64/libsybdrvodb.so # sybase driver # Driver = /usr/lib64/libtdsodbc.so.0 # freetds driver update ODBC configuration file: $ vi /etc/odbc.ini [sybase1] Driver = Sybase Server = <ASE server 1 IP> PORT = 5000 [sybase2] Driver = Sybase Server = <ASE server 2 IP> PORT = 5000 |
