SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

preludedb-admin can be used to copy, move, delete, save, update or restore a Prelude database, partly or in whole, while preserving IDMEF data consistency.

Mandatory arguments

copy

Make a copy of a Prelude database to another database.

count

Count the number of events in a Prelude database.

delete

Delete content of a Prelude database.

load

Load a Prelude database from a file.

move

Move content of a Prelude database to another database.

optimize

Optimize a Prelude database by deleting orphaned data.

save

Save a Prelude database to a file.

update

Update data in a Prelude database.

Running a command without providing arguments will display a detailed help.

EXAMPLES

Obtaining help on a specific command:

# preludedb-admin save
Usage  : save <alert|heartbeat> <database> <filename> [options]
Example: preludedb-admin save alert "type=mysql name=dbname user=prelude" outputfile
Save messages from <database> into [filename].
If no filename argument is provided, data will be written to standard output.
Database arguments:


  type  : Type of database (mysql/pgsql).


  name  : Name of the database.


  user  : User to access the database.


  pass  : Password to access the database.
Valid options:


  --offset <offset>               : Skip processing until 'offset' events.


  --count <count>                 : Process at most count events.


  --query-logging [filename]      : Log SQL query to the specified file.


  --criteria <criteria>           : Only process events matching criteria.


  --events-per-transaction        : Maximum number of event to process per transaction (default 1000).

Preludedb-admin can be useful to delete events from a prelude database :

preludedb-admin delete alert --criteria <criteria> "type=<mysql> name=<dbname> user=<prelude-user> pass=<pass>"

where criteria is an IDMEF criteria :

preludedb-admin delete alert --criteria "alert.classification.text == 'UDP packet dropped'" "type=mysql name=prelude user=prelude-user pass=prelude-pass"

This will delete all event with the classification text "UDP packet dropped" from the database.
