RASQLCHECKCONF(1)

NAME
rasqlcheckconf - write argus(8) data into mysql database tables.

SYNOPSIS
rasqlcheckconf [raoptions] [-- filter-expression]

DESCRIPTION

rasqlcheckconf writes argus data into a mysql database.

The principal function of rasqlcheckconf is to compare an argus.conf file with the entries in a MySQL database table. Using the same syntax and strategies for all other ra* programs, rasqlcheckconf creates databases and database tables, as needed based on the print specification on the either the command-line or the .rarc file.

rasqlcheckconf by default, will compare /etc/argus.conf with the entries in the argusConf table in the argus database. If the database is different, rasqlcheckconf will return a non-zero RETURN VALUE. If the "-M replace" option is provided, rasqlcheckconf will replace the database table, with the items in the argus.conf file.

Using the standard ra* client command line options, you can specify particular argus.conf files, and modify the database and table names use for comparison.

RASQLCHECKCONF SPECIFIC OPTIONS
rasqlcheckconf, like all ra based clients, supports a number of ra options.

There are no rasqlcheckconf(1) specific options.
