Administering resources

A resource is a MobiLink server. You add resources to the Monitor, and then you start monitoring them.

The default resource, named SQL Anywhere Monitor, reports on the health of the Monitor itself. You cannot modify this resource, nor can you stop monitoring it.

Start monitoring resources

When you start monitoring a resource, the Monitor starts collecting metrics.

Monitoring of a resource starts:

  • Automatically when you add a resource. See Add resources.

  • Automatically when you start the Monitor. By default, all existing resources are started automatically when you start the Monitor.

  • Automatically at the end of a blackout period. The Monitor automatically attempts to connect to the resource and resume monitoring.

  • When an administrator opens the Administration tab, clicks Resources, selects a resource from the list, and clicks Start.
