The Sybase CEP Server provides extensive status information to help you monitor servers and projects, including information about CPU utilization by a particular server, the number of messages received by a particular CCL query, managers, containers, workspaces, projects, and queries.
Sybase CEP provides status information about the following types of entities:
Manager.
Container.
Workspace.
Program (also called "project").
Query.
While other types of status messages exist, these are of most use to the typical user.
All status information is collected and made available by the manager; you will not receive status information directly from individual containers. If the manager is down (or, in a High Availability system, if all the managers are down), you will not be able to read status information.
Status information can be retrieved in different ways:
From Status streams, which are similar to other streams.
From the function/method calls provided in particular Sybase CEP SDKs, such as the C/C++ SDK and Java SDK.
From server plugins.
Each of these is described in more detail below.
