Module-specific configuration notes
editWhen configuring the hosts
option, you can specify native user credentials
as part of the host string with the following format:
hosts: ["sqlserver://sa@localhost"]]
To use Active Directory domain credentials, you can separately specify the username and password using the respective configuration options to allow the domain to be included in the username:
metricbeat.modules: - module: mssql metricsets: - "transaction_log" - "performance" hosts: ["sqlserver://localhost"] username: domain\username password: verysecurepassword period: 10
Store sensitive values like passwords in the secrets keystore.
The MSSQL module supports the standard configuration options that are described in Modules. Here is an example configuration:
metricbeat.modules: - module: mssql metricsets: - "transaction_log" - "performance" hosts: ["sqlserver://localhost"] username: domain\username password: verysecurepassword period: 10s
The following metricsets are available:
