I have somewhat limited access as I’m using Docker on a Synology NAS… Don’t really like using SSH on the NAS.
The question I’m trying to ask is, can I log anything to my Microsoft SQL Server?
I’ve looked into the Recorder but this fails when I try to connect to the MS SQL.
Also looking into this post by Rusty_Shakleford and he mentions some dependencies but he didn’t need to install them.
So the main question is, has anybody got anything logging to MS SQL
Well, yes. It’s in the post you linked.
If that didn’t work for you, it’s because your setup is different, I guess.
If you don’t tell us what errors you get, we won’t be able to help you.
EDIT: for clarity, note that if are using the recorder, the data will be purged at regular intervals, so you won’t be able to do long-term statistics with, e.g., grafana unless you set a very high purge_keep_days, which will consume an absurd amount of disk space.
