Get more Database metrics using OneAgent extensions

[sandre]

Hi,

I read on the documentation that we can use ActiveGate extensions to remotely monitor MSSQL or MySQL database performance. Currently we have no planning to add an ActiveGate server into our environment but we are going to install Infrastructure-only OneAgent to the database servers.

Is it possible to monitor these databases using OneAgent extensions only? Or are there any OneAgent extensions for this?

Thanks.

Yes, there are OneAgent extensions for both MSSQL and MySQL. You can find them under Settings → Monitoring → Monitored Technologies.

Do we still need to add an endpoint (server address, username and password) like ActiveGate does or OneAgent extensions will automatically discover it?

For MSSQL it will automatically discover/monitor it.

For MYSQL you’ll have to enter User/Password and a port (global or per host).
