A single monitoring database stores data related to replication and messaging synchronization, queues status, users, data change notifications, and device notifications.
By default, the monitoring database uses the same database server instance as the consolidated database and cluster database.
A monitoring database is shared by all server instances in a cluster. Consequently, administrators must allocate and manage the database depending on the monitoring configuration and system load.
If necessary, you can manually delete data, or you can use Sybase Control Center to allow Unwired Server to automatically purge the data. You can schedule a periodic and automatic flush of monitoring data that is captured in memory and move the data to the underlying monitoring database. This allows for capturing monitoring data without performance degradation of the client applications. If there are high levels of activity, Sybase recommends that you install the monitoring database on high performance hardware, and that you configure optimal flush settings for this environment.
