Setup wizard and connection client for connecting MySQL/PostgreSQL databases to Chartio
Project description
=======
Chartio
=======
Chartio utilities for providing read-only user local database access.
Version 3.1.0
Introduction
------------
This project permits Chartio customers to provide database access by
opening an SSH reverse tunnel from a Chartio server to the customer
database.
Errors, comments, questions may be sent to support at chart dot io.
Requirements
------------
Requires a read-only database role (or authorization to create one)
and a local SSH client. Requires JSON support (Python 2.6 or
Python 2.5 and simplejson).
Supported Databases
-------------------
MySQL
Oracle (command-line only)
PostgreSQL
Installation
------------
To install, type::
$ python setup.py install
To uninstall, remove the files
chartio_setup
chartio_connect
Oracle
------
Connecting an Oracle datasource to Chartio requires an existing
Chartio login and a read-only database role. In addition, all
information must be specified on the chartio_setup command-line. For
example, to connect the Oracle database named 'sales' using the
existing read-only role of 'sales_user'
% chartio_setup --oracle --database-name=sales --role=sales_user
The script will the prompt you for your Chartio login and password
and for the password of the 'sales_user' role.
Troubleshooting
-------------
If you encounter an error while running chartio_setup, the file
/tmp/chartio_error.html
may contain details on what went wrong. In any event, please feel free
to contact support.
In addition, the log file
~/.chartio.d/logs/chartio_connect.log
contains information about the chartio_connect process.
