External servers/clients

If you are using external servers or other clients that need to connect to the Monitor database server after the conversion to PostgreSQL, you must allow these connections in the pg_hba.conf file. You can find this file in the Data Directory you selected during installation.

Please note! This applies if you are e.g., using the Machine Integration option on a separate server. Contact Monitor Support if you need assistance.

Add the external server’s IP address to pg_hba.conf to permit connections to the PostgreSQL server. This file controls client authentication and determines which hosts are allowed to connect, from which IP addresses, and how they authenticate.

This configuration may be required if you run SQL queries against the database from an external system.

Example:

If the external server has the IP address 192.168.10.25, add the following line to pg_hba.conf:

host    all    all    192.168.10.25/32    scram-sha-256

Replace 192.168.10.25 with the IP address of the external server.

Note: Use /32 to allow only a single IP address.
