Status and Performance Monitoring

Determine whether your environment is working efficiently and obtain detailed information about the status of the resources in your environment.

The Monitor node in Sybase Control Center is typically used to monitor:

System diagnostics -- values in the Package, User, Replication, Messaging, and Messaging Queue tabs can help you troubleshoot the system when device clients or applications behave unexpectedly. Information is separated by the package type, either replication-based or messaging-based synchronization. Check to see if synchronization is blocked, during which synchronization phase, and identify the MBO or operation that may be causing a problem.
Performance indicators -- key performance indicator columns, particularly in the Replication, Messaging, Data Change Notification, and Cache tabs, can help you identify trends that can be used for tuning your system or determining when to scale up deployed server and data components.

Note: To perform robust data analytics, export information to an XML or a CSV (comma-separated value) file and use an analytic tool of your choosing. See Sybase Control Center online help > Monitoring > Monitoring Unwired Platform.

Monitoring Unwired Platform
Configure settings to audit the performance and availability of server and application environments.
Reviewing System Monitoring Data
Review data for monitored activities. The monitoring data is retrieved according to the specified time range. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are also calculated for the specified time range.
Exporting Monitoring Data
Save a segment of monitoring data to a location outside of the monitoring database. Export data to back up information, particularly before purging it from the database, or to perform closer analysis of the data in a spreadsheet application.
System Diagnostics
Diagnosing performance issues or troubleshooting errors involves reviewing system-wide data, and typically begins with information captured by the Monitoring node in the Sybase Control Center Unwired Platform administration perspective. However, it can extend to any and all state and log data that is available to the administrator.
