Using Foglight for Sybase

The Sybase cartridge monitors the Sybase database activity. It contains three major components:

Sybase cartridge dashboards provide a visual representation of the status of the major components of the Sybase database. They allow you to determine any potential bottlenecks in database performance. For more information, see Exploring the Sybase Dashboards.
Sybase_MDA Agents monitor the collection of data by the Sybase Web-enabled relational database management system.

The Sybase_MDA Agent identifies potential resource bottlenecks, investigates current server problems, and tunes the server.The Sybase_MDA Agent also allows you to select a “monitoring level” (called Availability, Performance, Configuration and Trend). Each level is associated with a group of tables and their associated collection. By default, Availability is activated and all others are turned off. A user can optionally select Performance, Configuration or Trend to tune the agent to collect the metrics important to their environment.

Some of the functions that are available with the Sybase_MDA Agent are:

For more information, see About the Sybase_MDA Agent.

Sybase_RS Agents provide a consolidated view of all database instances within a Sybase server.

The Sybase_RS Agent monitors the Replication Server on the host it is deployed on. The agent collects internal performance and availability metrics by connecting to the Replication Server directly and from its related RSSD database via a connection to the respective Adaptive Server. The agent monitors Replication Server health, internal threads, partitions (space and status), connections, and exceptions. It also scans the external error log of the Replication Server looking for any default or user defined errors.

In addition, the Sybase_RS Agent also gathers availability information of the Replication Agent (RepAgent) from the primary sites (Adaptive Servers / databases) connected directly to this Replication Server as well as latency information from the Replicate Sites (Adaptive Servers / databases) controlled directly from this Replication Server.

For more information, see About the Sybase_RS Agent.

Exploring the Sybase Dashboards

The Foglight for Sybase includes dashboards which aid in the monitoring, analysis, and investigation of Sybase performance.

These dashboards provide the status of the major components of the Sybase agents. They allow you to determine any potential bottlenecks in database performance.
