Create a Database Class

PacketWise can classify traffic by a specific Oracle or PostgreSQL database name.

Note: To perform this task from PolicyCenter, you must first select a group and/or unit configuration from the Group: and Unit: drop-down lists at the top of the page.

To create a class for an Oracle or PostgreSQL database:

1. Click the manage tab.

2. In the left window pane, select the class or folder that will be the parent of the class you are about to define.

3. Click class and select add.

Warning: If the Easy Configure feature is enabled, the class must be placed as a child of one of the Easy Configure folders (that is, MissionCritical, Average, LowPriority, or Prohibited). PacketWise may not classify traffic properly for classes created outside of these folders. See Easy Configure Recommendations for more information.

4. In the Name field, type a descriptive name (up to 31 characters; hyphens, underscores, and periods are acceptable).

5. For the Service, select Oracle-netv2 or PostgreSQL.

6. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, and make sure Database Name appears in the Criterion field.  show screen

7. Type the database name in the empty text field.

8. Click add class.

For more information about the other entries in the New Traffic Class window, see Matching Rules.

Note: A matching rule can contain only one application-specific criterion. To combine multiple criteria, use two traffic classes, a parent and a child.
