Configuring the Connector for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager

To configure Lucidum to ingest data from Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager:

1. Log in to Lucidum.

2. In the left pane, click Connector.

3. In the Connector page, click Add Connector.

4. Scroll until you find the Connector you want to configure. Click Connect. The Settings page appears.

5. In the Settings page, enter the following:

   • Host (required) - The hostname / IP Address of the Microsoft SQL Server SCCM instance. For example, VM-SCCM.lucidum.io.

     • To use a specific named instance, the value supplied should be in the following format: {server_host}\{instance_name}.

     • If no instance is supplied, the default instance will be used.

   • Port (optional, default: 1433) - The port used for the connection. Lucidum connector must be able to communicate with the SQL Server via this port.

   • Domain (required) - The SQL Server domain name, for example, lucidum.

   • User Name (required) - A user name with read-only permissions.

     • The best practice is to create a dedicated SQL local user for the Lucidum connector. For details, see Creating a Local Read-Only User for Microsoft SQL Server.

   • Password (required) - The user's password. The password must not include ";".

   • Database (required) - The name of the database inside the SQL Server (Usually starts with "CM_").

   • Verify SSL. For future use.

6. To test the configuration, click Test.

   • If the connector is configured correctly, Lucidum displays a list of services that are accessible with the connector.

   • If the connector is not configured correctly, Lucidum displays an error message.
