No SourceType in Version 3.1.4

Hi,

I have installed DBConnect version 3.1.4 so I can monitor MS SQL.
Have gone through the setup with Java and Drivers and can execute SQL on my SQL server.
However when creating a New Input I have no Source Type to select from?
I have created a new Index for MSSQL which I can see.
Do I need to create my own Source Type or something missing from this version of DBConnect?
If I do have to create my own what settings should I be putting in there for MSSQL?

thanks

Values for sourcetype are arbitrary. When you setup a DBConnect intput, you can name it ANYTHING that you like; just be sure that it will be forever unique.
