Setting Connection Details

Setting Connection Details

Use the Connection Details agent set of properties in the Sybase_MDA Agent to designate the type of connection properties to use.

To set up the Connection properties:
1
Enter the Sybase login in the Login Username box.
* 
NOTE: The above user account must be configured to include the permissions for installing and executing stored procedures, as well as read permissions on system tables (including master and user databases). The required stored procedures must be installed manually by an account with appropriate privileges before the Sybase_MDA Agent can start monitoring the Sybase Adaptive Server. This can either be the Sybase sa account, or another account that has the appropriate permissions, configured using the rapsinstall2.sql script. For complete instructions, see “<Link>Configuring Sybase Login Privileges” on page 74.
2
Enter the password associated with the Login Name to access the Sybase database, in the Login Password box.
3
Enter the full path to the Sybase directory in the Sybase Home ($SYBASE) box. Ensure that this path contains the Sybase ‘interfaces’ file.
* 
NOTE: The directory path should look similar to /apps/Sybase. Notice that the path does not contain a trailing slash.
4
Enter the name of the ASE server to be monitored in the Server Name ($DSQUERY) box.
5
Enter the alternate name of the backup server, if one has been defined, in the Backup Server Alias box.
To retrieve a list of available servers, run the stored procedure sp_helpserver.
The default is SYB_BACKUP.
6
Enter the number of times you want Foglight to attempt to connect to Sybase in the Maximum Connection Retries box.
This is the maximum number of retries the Sybase_MDA Agent attempts when it encounters an error with the Adaptive Server before the agent stops.
7
Enter the number of seconds allowed for an individual connection attempt in the Connection Timeout (seconds) box.
8
Click Save.
