Foglight for Sybase 6.1.0.10 - User and Reference Guide

Latency (sec): The difference between the time the transaction was committed at the destination (Replicate) database, and the time at the origin (Primary Site) when the transaction was committed, in seconds.

•

Agent status: Shows the database name and the status of the Sybase_MDA Agent. The status of the Sybase_MDA agent:

•

Available—the Sybase_MDA Agent and the Replication Server are running on the same Foglight Management Server. This also indicates that the Sybase_MDA Agent is in the Collecting Data state.

•

No Agent—no Sybase_MDA Agent is running.

You can drill down by clicking on this status field. The MDA Home Page Dashboard appears for the appropriate server.

Databases Dashboard

The Databases dashboard displays summary information about all databases that may exist in your monitored environment. This includes your Sybase databases along with SQL Server, Oracle, and DB2 databases.

At the top of this dashboard you see the total counts of all alarms generated by all monitored database types, including Sybase. The alarm counts are grouped by the severity level: Fatal, Critical, Warning, Normal, and Unknown. Use this as a starting point to quickly estimate potential bottlenecks within your infrastructure.

	NOTE: The flows associated with the Discover more databases and Administer Agents buttons, appearing in the top-right are only available when you are monitoring SQL Server and Oracle databases and have Foglight for SQL Server and Foglight for Oracle installed. For more information, see the Managing Oracle Database Systems User Guide and Managing SQL Server Database Systems User Guide.

Just below the alarm counts, a collection of tiles displays a high-level overview of your environment. Each tile represents a database type (All, SQL Server, Oracle, Sybase, DB2) and shows how many database instances exist in your monitored environment, along with the count of objects of that type in each of the alarm states (Normal, Warning, Critical, Fatal).

Figure 40. Database Tiles

The table of database instances appearing just below the tile collection reflects the tile selection. For example, clicking the Sybase tile shows only the Sybase databases in the list.

Figure 41. Database Instances

For details about the information appearing in this list, see Viewing the list of database instances .

You can use other types of attributes to filter this list. For example, clicking a severity icon in a tile shows only the database instances of that database type that are in that alarm severity state. For more information about filtering this list, see Filtering the list of database instances .

In many cases it may be useful to create one or more groups of databases that you want to monitor. You can use database groups to further filter your selection using the Databases view appearing on the navigation panel.

For additional information about database groups, see Managing database groups .

Clicking the All tile shows a list of all monitored database instances. Clicking any value in the database list, except the Home icon in the Name column, displays a Sybase cue card at the bottom of the display area, showing additional information about the selected database instance. For details about the information appearing in this view, see Exploring the state of selected database instances .
