Products documentation

• With the MSSQL connector, you can connect to an MSSQL database via a JDBC driver.
  
• The database will then be monitored by querying information from the database with SQL requests
• To create connector, there are two steps:
  • Create a user profile in the database and register it in Redpeaks
  • Create and set connector parameters

• User profiles can be created via the Configure menu
• Once created, the user profile can be selected in the connector form
• Note: A user profile is by default associated with a company . You can explicitly set a profile to be cross companies. The effect is that it will be selectable from connectors of any companies.
• The corresponding user must be created in the database as well.

• Select the system in the Systems tree and select “Add connector” in its contextual menu, choose MSSQL type.
• Fill in the connector parameters:
  • Title The display name of the connector
  • Host: The hostname or IP address of the database host
  • Port: The port of the database service
  • Database name: The database to connect to
  • User: The user profile to use for the connection
  • Properties: Optional properties to add to the connection parameters (separated with semicolon (;)

Press Save & Test to save the profile and check the connection is working

• In case you must connect to a database through an SSH tunnel, you can enable the SSH option and fill the parameters:
  • Host: The host where the entrance of the tunnel is created.
  • Port: The local port of the SSH tunnel
  • User: The user to authenticate on the SSH end point.
