This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the SqlDbInfo_cfTest.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. 

• An MS SQL database user who is assigned te Sysadmin role has to be specified in the USER text box.

• The password corresponding to the above user has to be entered in the PASSWORD text box.

• Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box. 

• In the INSTANCE text box, enter the name of a specific MS SQL instance that is to be monitored. The default value of this parameter is "default". To monitor an MS SQL instance named "CFS", enter this as the value of the INSTANCE parameter. 

• By default, none is displayed in the DOMAIN text box. If the 'SQL server and Windows' authentication has been enabled for the server being monitored, then the DOMAIN can continue to be none. On the other hand, if 'Windows only' authentication has been enabled, then, in the DOMAIN text box, specify the Windows domain in which the managed MS SQL server exists. Also, in such a case, the USER name and PASSWORD that you provide should be that of a user authorized to access the monitored SQL server host.

• If the MS SQL server being monitored is an SSL-enabled server, then set the SSL flag to Yes. If not, then set the SSL flag to No.

• If the value chosen against ISPASSIVE is YES, then the server under consideration is a passive server in a cluster. No alerts will be generated if the server is not running. Measures will be reported as "Not applicable' by the agent if the server is not up.

• Once the above value is provided, click on the UPDATE button to register the changes made.
