Netdata Cloud: MSSQL Monitoring of remote database

Help
1

Hi,

I´m a Netdata cloud business customer. We have installed a netdata agent on a windows machine. Now we would like to use this agent to track the Microsoft SQL Server statistics of a different machine. How can we achive this?

I wasn´t able to configure a MSSQL integration from the cloud browser interface.
I also tried to edit the netdata.conf and added a [plugin:windows:PerflibMSSQL] section manually. But this also did not work. Do I have to install additional components (like MSSQL driver) on the agent machine? Or do I miss a configuration step?

Thanks and regards
Marcel

Hello @MarcelSchober ,

Currently, some of the metrics from the MSSQL server need to be collected directly on the host. However, we have already started transitioning to a new collection method that queries the database directly using SQL.

In theory, the steps you followed should align with our documentation. Could you please confirm whether your SQL Server has received a connection from the host where NetData is installed?

Best regards!
