Monitor quick start

The following steps are required to set up SQL Anywhere database monitoring:

  1. Install SQL Anywhere 11.0.1 on a computer that is always connected to your network. The Monitor uses SQL Anywhere to monitor databases.

    The Monitor can run on the same computer as the resources it is monitoring, but it is recommended, particularly in production environments, that you run the Monitor on a different computer to minimize the impact on the database server, or other applications.

  2. Ensure that your web browser has the appropriate version of Adobe Flash Player installed and that JavaScript is enabled. See Requirements.

  3. Start your database (if it is not already running).

  4. Start the Monitor and open it in your web browser. See Start the Monitor.

    The computer where you are using a web browser to access the Monitor must be connected to the network where the Monitor is running.

  5. Log in as an administrator. The default user name is admin and the default password is also admin.

  6. Click the Administration tab and add a SQL Anywhere database as a resource to be monitored. See Add resources.

  7. Add new users and change the password for the admin user. See Create Monitor users.

  8. Configure alerts for the database you want to monitor. See Alerts.

  9. Click the Monitoring tab to see the collected metrics for your database. See Monitoring resources.
