sybdiag connects to an SAP ASE server and executes stored procedures such as sp_configure, and queries to tables like monLicense. It collects operating system and platform diagnostic information by executing commands such as ps, vmstat, and netstat.
The output of sybdiag is a compressed ZIP file containing HTML and data files that can be uncompressed and viewed in a Web browser. The information collected includes operating system and environment data, SAP ASE configuration and monitoring data, and SAP ASE files and scripts.
sybdiag does not collect SAP ASE or operating system data for logins, passwords, or user lists, and does not collect information from application database tables.
