In order to add a table from Microsoft SQL Server 2008 or higher as a log source to XpoLog follow these steps:

SQL Authentication

For SQL Server 2008

JDBC Driver

  •    For MSSQL 2008+ up to 2017 you may use the current available driver jtds-1.3.1.jar

2. Go to XpoLog Manager > Tools > Address Book, Add New Database Account.
3. In the Database Types screen, click the 'Upload Driver' button and select the JDBC jar file and click the 'Upload' button.
