Starting the Monitor causes the Monitor to start collecting metrics for all resources in the Monitor.

The procedure for starting the Monitor is different depending on whether the Monitor is running on a separate computer.

To start the Monitor

1. Choose Start » Programs » SQL Anywhere 11 » SQL Anywhere Monitor » Start SQL Anywhere Monitor.

   The SQL Anywhere Monitor icon appears in the system tray.

2. Connect to the Monitor. See Connect to the Monitor.

To start the Monitor on a separate computer

1. The Monitor runs automatically as a service when installed on a separate computer. However, if you stop monitoring, you can restart it. To do so, browse to install-dir\bin32.

2. On Windows, run the following:

   samonitor.bat start service

   On Linux, run the following:

   samonitor.sh start service

   When the Monitor runs as a service, no SQL Anywhere Monitor icon appears the system tray.

3. Connect to the Monitor. See Connect to the Monitor.
