ifEntry_LogToDBI

Path: /model/DBI/ifEntry_LogToDBI.mod

Collects ifEntry metrics and logs them to a database.

The model takes advantage of NerveCenter's single threaded Perl interpreter by establishing a connection and allowing each successive use (whether the same node or not) to utilize the connection. Only in the event when a connection is dropped is an attempt made to re-establish.

The ifEntry data is collected via normal polls and then inserted into the database.

• Update username and password information
• Add/Delete ifEntry metrics (and update database table)
• Poll intervals
• Update DSN script to utilize a different database
