Editing the credentials or properties of added servers
Published 28 March 2024
You can configure some or all of your servers or instances at once:
- To select multiple servers or instances, use the checkboxes to the left of each row in the table.
- To select all servers or instances, choose from the Select drop-down button near the top of the page.
Editing credentials
You may be forced to change the credentials used to log in to the Windows server on which the SQL Server instance is running, or the authentication details to log in to the SQL Server instance:
- To change the credentials for a single server or instance, move your mouse pointer over a row and click Edit credentials.
- To change the credentials for multiple servers or instances, select them and click the Edit credentials button near the top of the page.
Once you've applied your changes to the existing credentials, Redgate Monitor will automatically retry the connection using the updated credentials.
Editing connection properties
You can change the default properties used to connect to the SQL Server instance; for example, you can supply a port number, change the network protocol, and choose to encrypt the connection.
- Select the instances whose properties you want to edit and click Edit credentials.
- Click Edit properties near the bottom of the dialog and update the connection details. Once you've edited these settings and clicked OK, the Connection type will be displayed as Custom, not Default.
