Enabling usage reporting for stand-alone databases

Suggest edits

For stand-alone database servers that you don't want to connect to the Hybrid Manager (HM), the Agent still offers a valuable function: usage reporting.

While monitoring and other advanced features are exclusive to the HM integration, the Agent can independently collect and send essential usage data. This allows EDB to better understand how our products are being used.

Info

If you want to enable usage reporting in the scope of Hybrid Manager observability, go to Enabling usage reporting in Hybrid Manager.

To configure usage reporting:

  1. Create an OS user to run the Agent.
  2. Install the Agent.
  3. Prepare your database for connection.
  4. Configure and run the agent on Internet-connected environments or air-gapped environments.

Deploy one Agent per host machine with self-managed database clusters. Then, configure a DSN string for only one database per database server instance (not per database). Refer to How many Agents do I need to track several databases for more information.
