AI Provider settings configure the AI service Mini DBA uses for assisted analysis features. Supported deployments can configure provider, authentication, model or deployment, endpoint URL, and test connectivity.

For the full AI workflow, including page context, optional metrics, alerts, BYO AI, and free token limits, see Mini DBA AI Assistant.

Fields

Enabled: turns AI provider use on or off.
Provider: AI provider type.
Authentication: authentication method.
Display Name: friendly name shown in the console.
Model or Deployment: model name or Azure deployment name.
Base URL: provider endpoint URL where required.
API Key: provider API key when key-based auth is used.
Tenant ID: Azure tenant ID where required.
Managed Identity Client ID: managed identity client ID where used.

Configure An AI Provider

Open Settings.

Select Test to confirm the configuration works.

BYO AI And Default AI

By default, each user may have access to a limited amount of gpt-4o-mini per day where the default Mini DBA AI provider is configured. To use your own model, enable Bring Your Own AI on this page. BYO AI uses your provider subscription and is not limited by the Mini DBA default free daily token allowance.

See Configure BYO AI In Mini DBA for step-by-step setup across OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, OpenAI-compatible providers, Ollama, and Anthropic Claude.

Troubleshooting

Confirm the provider endpoint is reachable from the console or engine component that performs the request.
Confirm API keys or identity permissions are valid.
Configure web proxy settings if outbound traffic requires a proxy.
Check Web Log and Service Log for errors.

AI Provider Security And Cost Guidance

AI provider settings may send monitoring context to the configured provider for assisted analysis features. Before enabling AI, confirm your organization's policy for database names, server names, query text, alerts, and performance data. Use provider accounts, endpoints, and models approved for your environment.

BYO AI credentials are stored in the user's browser. Protect access to the browser profile and device, and remove the saved provider settings when they are no longer needed. If a provider charges by request or token usage, review its pricing and usage limits before using it.

If AI analysis fails, check authentication, endpoint URL, model or deployment name, API version, network path, proxy settings, and logs. A successful provider connection does not guarantee every model or deployment name is valid for every request.
