DbCollector is an agentless, centralized collection engine that connects to your database servers across platforms, runs pre-defined collection queries, and writes results to a data warehouse — so DbMonitor can show compliance and security reports fleet-wide, in-browser.
What it does
DbCollector runs as a scheduled task — cron or systemd timer — with no persistent daemon. It starts, collects across your configured servers, logs results, and exits, ready to be re-run by any scheduler.
Reports
Once DbCollector is configured, its reports appear directly inside DbMonitor's Reports section.
