# DLR with MySQL support configuration
#
# Example defining a MySQL database connection resource and 
# the required table and field values.
#

group = mysql-connection
id = mydlr
host = localhost
username = foo
password = bar
database = dlr
# max count of connections that will be opened for dbpool
# default is 1
max-connections = 1

# 
# Create the required table for the DLR support in the database 
# with something similar like this: 
# 
#   DROP TABLE IF EXISTS dlr;
#   SET character_set_client = utf8;
#   CREATE TABLE dlr (
#     smsc VARCHAR(40) DEFAULT NULL,
#     ts VARCHAR(65) DEFAULT NULL,
#     destination VARCHAR(40) DEFAULT NULL,
#     source VARCHAR(40) DEFAULT NULL,
#     service VARCHAR(40) DEFAULT NULL,
#     url VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT NULL,
#     mask INT(10) DEFAULT NULL,
#     status INT(10) DEFAULT NULL,
#     boxc VARCHAR(40) DEFAULT NULL,
#     KEY dlr_smsc_index (smsc),
#     KEY dlr_ts_index (ts)
#   ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
#

group = dlr-db
id = mydlr
table = dlr
field-smsc = smsc
field-timestamp = ts
field-destination = destination
field-source = source
field-service = service
field-url = url
field-mask = mask
field-status = status
field-boxc-id = boxc

#
# Advanced configuration for TTL (time-to-live) of DLR records:
#
# MySQL has no direct support for expiring rows in a table, unlike other Non-SQL
# counterparts like Redis or Cassandra. Therefore DLR entries in the table that
# have NEVER received any final DLR from the upstream SMSC will keep persistent
# in the table. The user needs to perform external clean-up procedures, i.e. by 
# removing all entries that are older then a particular time interval using a
# cron job.
#
# We present here the concept of using MySQL 5.1+ internal events to clean-up
# the table. To enhance the configuration the following steps need to be
# performed:
#
# 1. Add a dlr.timestamp field sets the current timestamp automatically. 
#    Alter the table as follows:
#
#    > ALTER TABLE dlr ADD COLUMN timestamp TIMESTAMP NOT NULL \
#      DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP AFTER boxc;
#  
#    Every entry is then "tagged" with the current timestamp, and can be
#    evaluated for the clean-up process by this creation date.
#
# 2. Activate the event scheduler in MySQL:
#
#    > SET GLOBAL event_scheduler = ON;
#
#    [Reference: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/events-configuration.html]
# 
# 3. Create the event schedule itself for the DLR clean-up:
#
#    > CREATE EVENT IF NOT EXISTS dlr_clean \
#      ON SCHEDULE EVERY 6 HOUR \
#      DO \
#        DELETE FROM dlr WHERE TIME_TO_SEC(dlr.timestamp) + 604800 < TIME_TO_SEC(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);
#   
#    Which creates an event, running every 6 hours (hence 4 times a day),
#    deleting ANY records in the DLR table that are older then 7 days 
#    (604800 seconds). Adopt the schedule to your needs, i.e. avoiding 
#    clean-up at load peak times.
