Overview dashboard

The Overview dashboard provides an overview of the health and availability of the resources (for example, SQL Anywhere databases) being monitored.

By default, the Overview dashboard contains the Resource List widget and the Alert List widget.

1: Resource List widget

The Resource List widget contains a table that lists the resources being monitored, as well as an indication about the overall health of each resource. The table always contains the default resource, named SQL Anywhere Monitor, which reports on the health of the Monitor itself. You cannot modify the SQL Anywhere Monitor resource, nor can you stop monitoring it.

To view detailed information about a resource

Click the resource name in the Resource List widget.

The dashboard for the selected resource opens. See Dashboards.

In the Resource List widget, the Status column provides information about the connections between the Monitor and its resources. The Status column indicates whether the resource requires someone to perform an action on it.

A resource has one of the following statuses:

Icon	Status	Description
No icon present	Healthy	There are no unresolved alerts for the resources.
	Alerts Present	There are one or more unresolved alerts for the resource.
	Unavailable	The resource is unavailable. For example, the resource is down.
	Monitoring Stopped	The resource is not being monitored because of a blackout or because a user manually stopped monitoring the resource.

2: Alert List widget

The Alert List widget contains the alerts for the monitored databases.

To view detailed information about an alert

Select the alert in the Alert List, and then click Details.

A window opens showing the details of the alert.

An alert has one of the following statuses:

Icon	Status	Description
	Active	Active alerts are alerts where the alert condition still applies. No one has resolved the alert.
	Inactive	An inactive alert indicates that the issue that triggered the alert is no longer present, but the alert has not been resolved or deleted.
	Resolved	An administrator or operator has marked the alert resolved.

An alert has one of the following levels of severity:

Icon	Severity	Description
	High severity	High severity alerts indicate problems that require a user's immediate attention. For example, when a resource exceeds the low disk space threshold, a high severity alert is issued.
	Medium severity	Medium severity alerts indicate problems that require a user's attention as the problems could escalate. For example, when a resource exceeds the CPU usage threshold, a medium severity alert is issued.
	Low severity	Low severity alerts indicate problems. For example, when a resource has a failed connection, a low severity alert is issued.
