Server Configuration Dialog
The Server Configuration Dialog is used to configure the SQL Server
instance name, connection properties, and physical locations for the the
Teratrax files. It consists of the following elements:
- Instance Name: Name or IP address of the
server you want to monitor (Example: "(local)" for the default
instance or "(local)\Instance2"
for a named instance). If you are monitoring a SQL Server cluster,
refer to Monitoring SQL Server Clusters.
- Windows Authentication: Select Windows Authentication
only if you are monitoring a local instance. The instance name must
start with "(local)" and it can be a default instance or a named
instance. Teratrax Performance Agent uses the LocalSystem account in Windows to connect
to the instance using Windows Authentication.
- SQL Server Authentication: Select SQL Server
Authentication to monitor a remote SQL Server instance. Under SQL Server
Authentication, Teratrax Performance Agent uses the specified login
name and password to connect to the instance.
- Login Name: The login name used to connect
to SQL Server if SQL Server Authentication is used. The specified login must
have sysadmin privileges.
- Password: The password used to connect to SQL Server if SQL
Server Authentication is used.
- Details...: Opens the Optional Settings dialog where you
can specify the locations (Folders) of the physical Teratrax database files
and the
Teratrax Performance Agent trace file. Click the "Details..." button
to change the following settings:
- Teratrax Database Folder: By default, Teratrax Performance
Agent uses the SQL Server default data folder for the physical files
of the Teratrax database. To specify a different folder, uncheck the
"Use default SQL Server data folder" box and enter a folder path (Example: C:\Teratrax\). If you are monitoring a remote instance, this
folder must exists on the hard disk drive of the remote instance.
Click Ok to apply changes and exit the Optional Settings dialog.
- Teratrax Trace Folder: The default location for the Teratrax Performance Agent trace file
is "C:\".
To specify a different folder, replace "C:\" with the new folder
path (Example: C:\Teratrax\). Click Ok to apply changes and exit
the Optional Settings dialog.
Once you complete all necessary settings, click Ok to apply
changes and exit the Server Configuration dialog. |
