Registering the MySQL service

  1. Navigate to Administration > Data Sources > MySQL > New Credentials

  2. Provide the Credential Name, Hostname, Database name, Username, and Password for the MySQL database instance.
  3. You can also add additional parameters under Optional settings that help configure the connection to the database. They fine-tune how the connection behaves - things like timeouts, encryption, encoding, and more.
  4. Next, click SAVE & CLOSE to just save the configuration or you can start the scan by clicking SAVE & CREATE SCAN.
