The Monitor collects metrics and performance data from SQL Anywhere databases, MobiLink servers, MobiLink server farms, and Relay Server farms running on other computers, while a separate computer accesses the Monitor via a browser.
The Monitor is a Flash-based application that is served to a web browser via the SQL Anywhere built-in HTTP server. You interact with the Monitor through its browser interface.
There are two editions of the Monitor:
SQL Anywhere Monitor Developer Edition The Monitor Developer Edition is intended for development and testing use. It is installed by default with SQL Anywhere and it uses the installed SQL Anywhere on the back-end.
SQL Anywhere Monitor Production Edition This Production Edition is intended for deployment and production use. It is installed separately, runs as a service, and includes a fully-contained SQL Anywhere installation. This edition is only available for certain editions of SQL Anywhere. See Installing the SQL Anywhere Monitor in a production environment.
RequirementsFor the computer where the Monitor is installed
To run the SQL Anywhere Monitor on a Windows system that has the Windows Firewall enabled, you must add a port exception for port 4950.
The SQL Anywhere Monitor reserves 384 MB of virtual address space when you start the Monitor. When you start the Monitor on Linux, you must ensure that you have least this amount available.
To monitor resources that are secured using ECC encryption or FIPS-certified encryption, you need a separate license. See Securing the Monitor.
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 Relay Server farm or other applications.
It is recommended in production environments that you run the Monitor Production Edition. See Installing the SQL Anywhere Monitor in a production environment.
When running the Monitor Developer Edition, you must have SQL Anywhere 12.0.0 installed. The Monitor Developer Edition uses the installed SQL Anywhere on the back-end.
For the computer accessing the Monitor
Install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player that is available for your operating system. The Monitor is backwards compatible
with version 10 of Adobe Flash Player. To determine the correct version, see ![[external link]](gif/external.gif)

Enable JavaScript in your browser.
Ensure that the computer where you are using a browser to access the Monitor is connected to the network where the Monitor is installed.
You can access the Monitor from the same computer as it is running on, but it is recommended, particularly in production environments, that you access the Monitor from a different computer.
