Geneos - Unable to create Historical Charts from MS SQL server named instance

Ensure you connect via port rather named instance.

Active Console Historical Charts

Add a new database connection (Tools > Settings > Database > Manual Database Entries > +)

Connection Name:	any
Database:	Name of your database
Vendor:	SQLServer
User:	<SQL Authenticated User not Windows authenticated>
Password:	<password for the above user>
Servers: Hostname: Port:	IP Address or Hostname depending on SQL Server configuration Do not include the instance name <port> of the Instance By default named instances will be set to use dynamic ports. This means when the SQL Server restarts it can start on a different port. This will cause connections to fail, so best to set the instance to use a specific port
