Default SQL channel
The Default SQL channel allows the Venafi Log server to record events to a Microsoft SQL Server database. To store events, you can use the Trust Protection Platform database that you set up during installation or create a custom database.
IMPORTANT Venafi highly recommends stopping all Trust Protection Platform services prior to any scheduled database maintenance. Neglecting to so may produce unexpected behavior because Trust Protection Platform is dependent upon the database for the majority of its configuration and certificate data. Trust Protection Platform has been designed to handle brief loss of database connectivity due to network issues or similar anomalies but that should not be relied upon for extended database outages, especially those which are planned.
