Setup Microsoft SQL Express for logging PBX events

In this chapter you can learn how to log PBX events of the Ozeki Phone System using a Microsoft SQL Server database server. In this guide you can see the installation steps, the database connection string, the database connection type and the recommended database table layout for Microsoft SQL Express database.

During the configuration you should choose the following database connection type:

OleDb

You should use the next database connection string properly for your OleDB driver:

Provider=SQLNCLI;Server=.SQLEXPRESS;User ID=ozeki;password=qwe123;Database=OzekiPBX;Persist Security Info=True

The database connection string has to be modified to match your database. You should use the ip address or the hostname of your database server instead of the "127.0.0.1". Replace "OzekiPBX" to the name of you database and replace "ozeki" and "qwe123" to the username and password that can be used to connect to your database server.

The connection string and the connection type should be entered on the Database Logging SQL API configuration form.

In the following figure you can see the SQL templates tab of the Database logging API. Here, you need to provide the SQL queries that will store PBX events.

After the Database Logging SQL API has been configured in the Ozeki Phone System, you need to create the database tables for Database Logging SQL API. Use the following table layout: 

-- -----------------------------------------------------
-- Table `OzekiPBX`.`ozpbxlog`
-- -----------------------------------------------------

CREATE  TABLE ozpbxlog
(
    id int identity(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
    Time datetime NOT NULL,
    Thread int NOT NULL,
    LogLevel varchar(20) NOT NULL,
    Logger varchar(255) NOT NULL,
    Message text NOT NULL,
)
