Description
Adds an option,
datasource
, that allows full control of the connection string used when connecting to the DB. There are many possible variations that are useful that can be specified via this option, e.g.: one could enable Windows authentication and have the collector run with an account configured to access the SQL server.Testing
Covered the new option in an extended validation test and used it to connect to a SQL server using Windows credentials.
Documentation
Added a note about the new option.
