Question by Smith M. · Jan 21, 2014 at 05:50 PM ·

Request Information on how the database drivers are configured in the dynatrace server

We would like to know how the database drivers are configured in the dynatrace server -

Are the database drivers provided as part of the dynatrace servers? We are specifically looking for MS SQL. that we will be accessing from a DTserver installed on Red Hat Linux

If not, how do we configure the database drivers in dynatrace server?

We have found the following information in  document “dynatrace 5.6 documentation” , but couldn’t find any information related to configuring the database drivers.

‘server.config.xml’

repositoryconfig/repository/database/name

repositoryconfig/repository/connection/host

repositoryconfig/repository/connection/port

repositoryconfig/repository/connection/user

repositoryconfig/repository/connection/password

Hi,

We don't have dynatrace server installed. We are in the initial phase of gathering the requirements and deciding which database to be used (not postgresql). So I don't have a way to see the details now.

Information that we needed are more specific and generic to dynatrace server.

1) Are the database drivers provided as part of the dynatrace server - if not , does dynatrace server expect the TYPE-1 drivers (database client installed on the dynatrace server) or TYPE-4 driverrs, (where we copy the jar files and configure something like datasource) to connect to database.

Drivers are provided by dynaTrace. We use JDBC as the interface and specific JDBC drivers for the DBs that we support. Please have a look at the dynaTrace 5.6 Release Notes - there is a section on Hardware and Software Requirements and a list of supported databases for the Performance Warehouse.Hope this helps for your preparation

Hi. The database to be used for our "Performance Warehouse" can be easily configured through the Server Settings Dialog. In your client open the menu Tools -> Server Settings. Then click on "Performance Warehouse". There you can configure which database to use for dynaTrace to store long term performance measurements.

More information on that configuration step can be found here: Performance Warehouse
