NAME
     ipa_st_sdb -- IPA simple database module (statistics part)

DESCRIPTION
     ipa_st_sdb is an IPA statistics module with the following features:

     -	    The module reads data from the ipa_sdb(5) database;

     -	    The module completely supports rules, limits and thresholds.

     The name of the statistics system is sdb.

CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT
     Configuration  for  the  module is integrated to the ipa.conf(5) file.  The
     configuration prefix of this module is ``sdb''.

     The sdb:db_dir parameter allows to define the main database directory  (the
     default value is /var/ipa_sdb):

	 sdb:db_dir = "/path/to/directory";

     This parameter can be placed in global or rule section.

     Static  and  dynamic  rules inherit this parameter from the global section.
     Since it can be placed in the rule section, then any rule can have own main
     directory for its database files and directories.

     Next parameters can be placed only in the sdb: module's section:

	 sdb: {
	     /* Parameters. */
	 }

     By default the module disallows using of symlinks in the database.  To  al-
     low  symlinks  in	the database set the allow_symlinks parameter to ``yes''
     (the default value is ``no''):

	 sdb: {
	     allow_symlinks = <boolean>;
	 }

     The main database directory has a special file containing the version  num-
     ber  of  the  database  format  and the module checks version saved in this
     file.  To speedup the module startup in case if many main database directo-
     ries are used it is possible to turn off database format  version	checking
     in  the  check_version parameter by setting it to ``no'' (the default value
     is ``yes''):

	 sdb: {
	     check_version = <boolean>;
	 }

     It is not recommended to turn off database format version checking.

     By default the module is very quiet and does not send any log messages  un-
     til  any  error  occurs.  To see all messages from the module set the quiet
     parameter to ``no'' (the default value is ``yes''):

	 sdb: {
	     quiet = <boolean>;
	 }

     Example:

	 st_mod "ipa_st_sdb.so";

	 global {
	     /* ... */
	     st_list = sdb;
	     sdb:db_dir = "/var/db/ipa_sdb";
	 }

	 rule 1 {
	     /* ... */
	 }

	 rule 2 {
	     /* ... */
	     sdb:db_dir = "/home/my/ipa_sdb";
	 }

     First rule inherits value of the sdb:db_dir parameter from the global  sec-
     tion.   Second  rule  has	own value for this parameter.  All dynamic rules
     will inherit the value of the sdb:db_dir parameter from the global section.
