Tip

To create a database target from Akeyless CLI, choose the database type within the create-db-target command

In order to create database targets you can define the following fields on Akeyless Console UI or using Akeyless CLI:

akeyless create-db-target
--name  <Target name>
--db-type <Database type> # mysql/mssql/hanadb/postgres/mongodb/snowflake/oracle/cassandra/redshift
--user-name <Database user name>
--host <Database host>
--pwd  <Database password>
--port <Database port>

Depending on your Database type, please provide the relevant settings accordingly:
