Disabling Modules

dbWatch consists of 4 main modules

• Monitoring
• Management
• SQL Worksheet
• Reporting

Currently it is possible to disable the “Management” module. This is a very powerful module, and in some high security setups you might want to disable it completely, (if you are too paranoid to settle for restricting access for specific users).

Disabling is a manual process consisting of the following:

• Stop the dbWatch Server
• Open the file server_configuration.xml (located in the Server root catalog) in text editor.
• Locate the tag “active-modules”.
• Change the value for “administration” to “false”.
• Restart the dbWatch Server.

Example

<active-modules>
  <modules>
    <monitoring>true</monitoring>
    <administration>false</administration>
    <sql>true</sql>
  </modules>
 </active-modules>
