DB Host Name/IP	Enter the DB host name or IP address of the computer where the target database is located.
Port	Enter the number of the port the database uses; the default port is 1521
Connect At	Displayed for Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase only. Select Database Level or Server Level. Select Server Level to exclude the databases specified by the MSSQL Server Level Exclusions or Sybase Server Level Exclusions global properties.
Additional JDBC Settings	By default, the target uses the additional JDBC settings values that you set in the Target global properties. For more information on these properties, see Target properties . To use different values, enter one or more key-value pairs separated by a semicolon. For Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase databases only, you can also do the following: Microsoft SQL Server — To support an SSL-encrypted connection, in SQL Server, set ForceEncryption to Yes. Then, for Additional JDBC Settings, enter SSL=require. (To connect without encryption, in SQL server, set ForceEncryption to No.) If you use NTLM version 2 authentication, enter useNTLMv2=true. Sybase — To support an SSL-encrypted connection, enter SYBSOCKET_FACTORY=com.fortinet.fortidb.target.internal.connection.SybaseSSLSQL Note: Database activity monitoring (DAM) using the TCP/IP sniffer is not available when FortiDB connects to Sybase using SSL.
DB Activity Monitoring	Select to monitor this database.
