driver is recommended.
Driver – Select a driver type from the list: Oracle Thin JDBC driver,
Inet Sprinta JDBC driver for Microsoft SQL Server, Sun
JDBC:ODBC Bridge, or Custom. You must have the appropriate
driver installed on the OneSight Server in order to set up a Database
monitor.
Driver String – This information will vary depending on the type of
database that you are monitoring. If you selected any option other
than Custom, the appropriate string is automatically displayed. For
example, this is the string for the Oracle Thin JDBC driver:
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
If you selected a Custom driver type, you can type in the Driver
String yourself.
Connect String – For most drivers, this string is constructed from
the information you supply in the following fields. The structure of
the Connect String is different for each driver type, but OneSight
builds this string for all driver types except a Custom driver type.
For a Custom driver setting, type in the Connect String.
