Add a Database Collector

Note: When you create a Database Collector, the password is encrypted and saved in the database. When the password is saved, you cannot retrieve the saved password. Splunk AppDynamics uses the secure-credential-store-api internal library to encrypt passwords and the PKCS5 encryption algorithm.
  1. Click the Configuration tab in the left panel menu.
  2. Click the Collectors option.
  3. In the Collectors panel, click Add (+).
  4. Complete each field of the Create New Collector dialog
  5. If you want to add a sub-collector to be monitored, click Advanced > +Add sub-collector to enter host and port details.
    Sub-collectors are applicable only to relational database types.
  6. Click OK.
    Your database administrator can provide you with the necessary details.
After you have added a Database Collector, you can configure it for your database. You can also link a database on the application flow maps to a database instance monitored by Database Visibility.
