Configuring the Log Database location

Use the section Log Database Location on the page Settings > Reporting > Log Database to enter the IP address\instance or hostname\instance of your Log Database server. By default, the Log Database created at installation is entered. If you chose to encrypt the database connection at product installation, the Encrypt connection check box is marked. If you did not select the encryption option during installation, you can encrypt the database connection by marking the check box here.

Important: You must have imported a trusted SSL certificate to the Log Server machine in order to use SSL for the encryption option. See your database documentation for information about importing a trusted certificate.

Other settings created at installation and displayed here include the designated authentication method (Windows or SQL Server), user name, and password.

Determine the availability of the server

You should enter log database password in the Log Database Location section every time to check the status, and then click Check Status.
