  • 1.  Ingest data and take it to the UIM DB to create a dashboard. Is possible ?

    Posted 18 days ago
    Hi Everyone
     
    I need to capture some data for showing on a dashboard. The data come from a db mssql, so i am thinking ingest the data with sqlserver probe because UIM It does not allow you to directly consult another database, or yes....?
    So i set the query in sqlserver probe and capture the variables, but for some reason it does not recognize the "character" fields to create the QOS, only "Connections" that the field is numeric.
    These are the data that I need to ingest into the UIM DB and later use them to create a dashboard exactly like this one
    These are the varibles...
    The creation of QOS only for Connections

    Why does this happen? Could it be that it is not possible to ingest this type "character" data, only numeric? The idea is to create a QOS for "login", "program_name".
     
    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Hi Miller,  with the sqlserver, the custom query being used MUST yield numeric values so thresholds can be configured for those values. Strings will not work for thresholds/threshold breaches and alarms.  That's why only "connections" is showing as possible custom QoS. 

    Have you considered using the 'SQL Table' Widget in the Dashboard Designer? you can use the internal datasource (nis) for testing or connect to an external resource and run a query against it and that serves as datasource for populating the SQL Table with Data.

    Hi Marco, how are you?
    Do yo know how can i change the port for the connections. For this connection I must go to port 5150 and it is looking for 1433

    I configured this JDB URL ---> jdbc:sqlserver://172.39.39.33,5150;DatabaseName=master

    Hi Miller, 

    The port should go after ":" and not ",". Maybe this is why is ot picking it up  and will still default to to 1433.

    Can you try with:

    jdbc:sqlserver://172.39.39.33:5150;DatabaseName=master
