Abstract
A method by a security analysis server to generate a traffic monitoring rule. The method includes receiving, from a database agent because of a current configuration of the database agent, counts of an amount of traffic sent over a first set of one or more of the database connections being monitored by the database agent and generating a traffic monitoring rule that indicates database connections for which the database agent is to send counts of an amount of traffic, rather than all the traffic, sent over those database connections to the security analysis server because those database connections have been determined by the security analysis server to be of an application database connection type based on an analysis by the security analysis server of the counts. The method further includes applying the traffic monitoring rule by sending instructions to the database agent to alter the current configuration.
