How do I Allow ipMonitor Access to Monitor a MySQL Database?

The ADO (SQL Connect) and ADO - QA (SQL Query) Monitors require that you have the correct OLE DB Provider installed on the ipMonitor host computer to provide access to the database type you wish to use.

To access a MySQL Database, you must have either the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC (MSDASQL) or the MySQL ODBC Driver (MyODBC) installed on the ipMonitor host machine.

Note: MSDASQL is not available on 64-bit Windows Operating Systems. If needed, download the MySQL ODBC Driver directly from the MySQL website at the following location:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/3.51.html

More information about MyODBC is available at the MySQL website:
http://www.mysql.com/products/myodbc/

Additional Information

For additional information regarding the ADO and ADO - QA Monitors, refer to the Monitors section of ipMonitor's Context-Sensitive Help system, and then select Monitor Types. The Context-Sensitive Help can be accessed by clicking the Help link located in the top right corner of ipMonitor's Administration web interface.
