Connect your first database
Register a database so the platform can monitor, back up, and govern it.
Add a connection
Open Fleet → Add Connection, pick the engine, and enter host, port, database, and credentials. The moment you save, credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM — they are never returned by the API or written to logs.
- Ten engines are supported: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, SQL Server, Redis, Cassandra, Elasticsearch, Oracle, and Db2.
- Use Test to verify reachability before saving; the result and latency are shown on the card.
- MongoDB Atlas: paste just the cluster hostname (…mongodb.net) — it connects over SRV with TLS automatically, no port needed.
Reaching private databases
For databases that never leave your network, register them through the on-prem agent instead of exposing them publicly. The agent brokers every operation over mTLS.
Try it yourself
Open the console and put this into practice.
