Deployment / Operations / Privacy

Deploy the platform. Then deploy with it.

Run CraptasticApps Database Monitor beside the databases you manage, keep credentials and operational data inside your environment, and give your team one governed workspace for inventory, monitoring, scripts, packages, patching, and deployment history.

Get up and running quickly

Start with three servers—or three thousand.

Add a few database servers manually and begin monitoring immediately, or populate the estate in bulk from the systems and spreadsheets your team already maintains. You can mix methods at any time, and existing endpoints are skipped during import instead of being duplicated.

01
CraptasticApps Database Monitor Add database server form with engine, host, port, database, environment, and authentication fields

Add servers manually

Enter the engine, host, port, database, environment, and connection details for individual SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, or Oracle targets.

02
CraptasticApps Database Monitor SQL Server CMS import form with connection and registered-server folder options

Import from SQL Server CMS

Connect to a SQL Server Central Management Server, choose a registered-server folder, and bring its endpoints into the monitored estate in one operation.

03

Use the spreadsheet template

Download the supplied CSV template, complete it in Excel or another spreadsheet application, save it as CSV, and import up to 5,000 mixed-engine endpoints at once.

Application deployment

From download to a working estate.

Install the application using Docker Compose or a self-contained ZIP package. Initialization creates the first administrator, configures the application repository, and establishes the data-protection keys used to protect stored secrets. From there, add targets individually or bring an existing estate in through CSV or SQL Server Central Management Server import.

Choose an edition

Enable the complete 30-day Evaluation, continue afterward with two monitored instances in Free Edition, or import a Professional license for the full estate.

Install locally

Use Docker Compose for a containerized service or the self-contained ZIP for a conventional host. Both keep the application under your control.

Initialize securely

Create the administrator with the included SQLite repository and preserve the application data-protection keys with your backups. Professional can move the repository later.

Build the estate

Add SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Oracle targets directly, by CSV, or through SQL Server CMS without renaming your real systems.

Real CraptasticApps Database Monitor estate inventory showing database targets and filtering controls
Turn installation into an organized estate.The real inventory workspace gives administrators a searchable view of every configured target, its engine, environment, ownership, and current state. Quick filtering makes a large estate manageable as soon as targets are imported.
Credential Manager

Connect without scattering passwords.

Store database credentials centrally, associate them with the servers that should use them, and see which targets still need attention. Secrets are protected by the deployment’s own data-protection keys, so backup and recovery remain an intentional part of your operating model.

  • Reusable credentials for monitored database targets
  • Central visibility into credential coverage and failures
  • Application-owned encryption keys retained in your environment
  • No credential upload to a vendor licensing or telemetry service
Real Credential Manager showing database credential coverage across the estate
Credential coverage is visible, not assumed.Administrators can identify configured, missing, or unhealthy connections from one place and correct access before monitoring or deployment work begins.
Real deployment workspace showing deployment packages, targets, execution controls, and history
Run controlled changes from the same estate context.The deployment workspace brings packages, private scripts, target selection, execution state, and prior results together so operators can see what will run, where it will run, and what happened afterward.
Governed database deployment

Choose the payload, targets, and moment.

Professional adds repeatable deployment workflows for supported packages and your organization’s private scripts. Select an intentional target set, review connection and eligibility information, execute the work, and retain a history that the rest of the team can inspect.

  • Deploy packaged database changes or private operational scripts
  • Target selected servers instead of relying on an external server list
  • Track queued, running, completed, and failed execution states
  • Keep deployment results beside monitoring and inventory context
Configuration and notifications

Make outbound communication an administrator choice.

Free Edition provides manual monitoring. Professional adds schedules, alert rules, SMTP, Pushover, and portable application storage. CraptasticApps Database Monitor communicates with only the targets and destinations an administrator configures.

  • Configure monitoring and alert schedules centrally
  • Send notifications only through administrator-selected channels
  • Choose SQLite, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, or Oracle for application data
  • Operate and verify licenses without continuous internet access
Real application settings workspace showing monitoring, alerting, notification, and storage configuration
Operational settings remain close to the application.The settings workspace exposes the schedules, channels, storage, and administrative controls that determine how the installation behaves in your environment.
Data handling and lifecycle

Your deployment remains yours.

The product is built for organizations that do not want database inventory and operational evidence routed through a vendor-hosted control plane. Installation, licensing, credentials, monitoring history, and deployment results stay with the system you operate.

DATA

No vendor telemetry

No usage analytics, advertising trackers, automatic crash uploads, or background inventory uploads. Server names, schemas, metrics, query text, logs, and alert details are not sent to us.

LICENSE

Local license verification

The Evaluation starts locally on first launch. Signed Professional license files are imported within 90 days of issuance and verified against the application's embedded release date. Routine startup and feature checks do not require a licensing-service connection.

NETWORK

Configured destinations only

The application connects to database targets, identity providers, SMTP, notification services, ticketing systems, or local model endpoints only when an administrator configures them.

SECRETS

Keys under your control

Database and notification secrets use application data-protection keys that live with the deployment. Preserve those keys alongside repository backups to support a complete recovery.

STORAGE

Five repository choices

Every edition includes SQLite. Professional and Evaluation can place application data in SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, or Oracle.

LIFECYCLE

No expiration trap

An expired Evaluation becomes two-instance Free Edition while preserving the estate and recent history. Professional capabilities continue on the last entitled release if maintenance is not renewed.

Choose the capability level you need.

Every edition is self-hosted; Professional removes the two-instance Free limit.
