Special Agent for Database Checks (MSSQL, Oracle and MySQL)
Transform database checks that needs an actual agent to run into special agents. This would simplify hugely the deployment for database monitoring and also will allow an additional method of monitoring instead of deploying the plugin with the option to monitor other databases. Agent + Plugin is complex to troubleshoot, specially in cases when you dont have access to the server. The deployment of this special agent would be very simple, like adding an ESX or vCenter where we provide the connection details along with the credentials and we can retrieve the data. Agent + Plugin deployment option will be kept.

Mohamed Saleh AdminHi Paulo,
Thanks for posting on our Ideas Portal!
We need a more confined scope for each idea to make it easier for our team to analyze and for other users to vote and comment on specific improvements. I totally understand where you are coming from, as this idea applies to various database checks. However, could you clarify which one is your top priority so we can center the content around it?
Best,

Paulo SantanaLet`s reduce the scope to Microsoft SQL Server. This would be very useful in cases where an agent can`t be deployed or where the database is provided as a service. This would be a great alternative to agent based deployments.

Maximilian SachmannWe have a similar problem in our company environment.
We therefore had a special agent developed specifically for this purpose — as it is Open Soure it might help you too.
This supports Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL and MSSQL
