Databases Section

These settings are used by databases.

Key Value Type Default Value Description
DataSource string . The name or network address of the instance of SQL Server to use for Acuit Pinpoint databases. By default, the default SQL Server instance on the local server is used. This setting can be used to use a SQL Server instance on a different computer or to use a named instance.
Password string The password for the SQL Server account. This setting is only used when the UserID setting has a value.
UserID string The user ID to be used when connecting to SQL Server. If this setting is not provided, the Acuit Pinpoint Server service account credentials are used for authentication.

These settings apply at server-level, so they should be configured in a local settings.json file on the Acuit Pinpoint Server computer. After any of these settings are changed, Acuit Pinpoint Server must be restarted to use the new settings.

For example, to configure Acuit Pinpoint Server to use a SQL Server Express instance installed on the local computer using the default "SQLEXPRESS" instance name, the following settings.json file could be used (placed into the "C:\ProgramData\Acuit Pinpoint\Acuit.Pinpoint.Server" folder):

{
  "Acuit.Pinpoint": {
    "Databases": {
      "DataSource": ".\\SQLEXPRESS"
    }
  }
}
