The collector requires a set of parameters to connect to and extract metadata from SQLServer Azure.
FIELD | FIELD TYPE | DESCRIPTION | EXAMPLE |
|---|---|---|---|
server | string | SQLServer Azure server. If using a custom port append with comma | “mydatabase.database.windows.net” |
host | string | The onboarded host value in K, generally this would be the same as the server value, depending on what you onboard it as. | |
username | string | Username to log into the SQLServer Azure account | “myuser” |
password | string | Password to log into the SQLServer Azure account |
|
databases | list<string> | A list of databases to extract from SQLServer Azure | [“dwh”, “adw”] |
driver | string | This is the ODBC driver, generally its ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server, if you another driver installed please use that instead. | “ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server” |
meta_only | boolean | Do you want to extract metadata only without enabling extended events? We currently only support true | true |
output_path | string | Absolute path to the output location where files are to be written | “/tmp/output” |
mask | boolean | To enable masking or not | true |
compress | boolean | To gzip the output or not | true |
events_name | string | The created extended event session name for each database, the event name should be exactly the same per database. This needs to be specified when meta_only is false | KADA |
These parameters can be added directly into the run or you can use pass the parameters in via a JSON file. The following is an example you can use that is included in the example run code below.
