The Gateway Docker integration doesn't have its own database. You'll need to integrate one externally depending on your environment or use case.

Problem:

User may be getting an error when trying to connect Geneos to an external database through Docker:

2025-04-04 13:36:41.332+0000 INFO: DBConnection Connecting to DB using ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server
2025-04-04 14:36:42.049
LIBRARY
2025-04-04 14:36:42.049
, db error code: 3 (type: LIBRARY) [3] libiodbc.so: libiodbc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Possible solutions:

Geneos docker image only contains minimal OS libraries. You'll need to install your own library for database connections similar to Gateway packages.

You may also create your own docker image from Centos image adding netprobe binaries, database client and Java installation. Or you may use the Docker image and you may add from there.
