A system DSN entry is setup as follows
1. Go to Administrative tools > Data Sources (ODBC) to launch the ODBC administrator.
2. Click on the „System DSN‟ tab then click on „Add‟.
It is important that you select „System DSN‟ and not „User DSN‟ otherwise the service
will not have access to the data source/database.

3. Select a database driver suitable for the database you wish to monitor (e.g. for an MS Access
database choose Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)).
4. In the ODBC setup dialog, specify a data source name (e.g. MY_Dbase) and select the
database you wish to monitor. In this example we have used the „Northwind‟ database. Click on
„OK‟ to add the data source.
