To run Uptime Infrastructure Monitor with a SQL Server database, first create a database on your SQL Server default instance that Uptime Infrastructure Monitor will be able to use. If you are unsure which databases are available to you or how to create a new database, please contact your database administrator and have a database configured for Uptime Infrastructure Monitor. Currently, the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor database is only supported on the default instance of the SQL Server, not a named instance.
Within the SQL Server database that will hold Uptime Infrastructure Monitor configuration and historical data, create a user account that Uptime Infrastructure Monitor will use to access the database. The settings that you define for the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor database user are generally flexible with the following exceptions:

Step 5 - Disabling the up.time DataStore service
Now that uptime Uptime Infrastructure Monitor is successfully started and running from your MS SQL database, we no longer need to have the local MySQL datastore, which means that we can disable the unneeded service to free up some resources on the monitoring station itself.
This is done via the Window Services tool typically found in the 'Administrator Tools' section of the Start Menu or from within Computer/Server Management. You'll first want to locate and stop the 'up.time Data Store' service. Once the service is stopped, you'll need to right click on the service name, and select 'Properties' from the context menu. On the general tab of the window that opens, you should see a drop down menu for 'Startup type' that currently shows 'Automatic'. You'll want to change this option to 'Disabled' , and then click OK to save your changes.
