Unified Agent provides runtime services to manage, monitor, and control distributed Sybase resources. The Unified Agent provides a common set of services, as well as the ability to host agent plug-ins to manage server resources or to perform various operations. These agent plug-ins can perform product specific command, control, and discovery capabilities including: status, start, stop, restart, ping and server log retrieval.
Unified Agent extends Java Management Extensions (JMX) to provide these management interfaces. Unified Agent enables other Sybase products to “plug in” to an agent to provide remote management capabilities.
