Sybase

This describes the discovery and monitoring setup for the Sybase database.

Prerequisite

• Database and port(5002) are reachable from the gateway.
• A gateway management profile mapped to a resource.
• Create credentials with type Database before assigning a template to a resource. The Port, Connection Time Out, and Is Secure values are not used to create credentials.
• Gateway version 5.0.0 or later.

Database discovery and monitoring

The administrator can deploy a gateway to support Sybase agentless monitoring.

Discovery using the gateway

The gateway establishes a connection to the database using the management profile and collects metrics from the templates and starts monitoring.

Use one of the following mechanisms to discover Sybase servers to add them to your inventory:

• WMI
• SSH
• SNMP

Optionally, add a database server manually to the infrastructure inventory:

1. Select Infrastructure and click Resources.
2. Click the Settings icon on the top-right and click Add.
3. On the Add Device page, enter the Device Type and any other information you want to enter.
4. Click Save.

Prepare the resource for monitoring

• Associate appropriate database credentials to the discovered database.
• Assign one or more database-specific global templates on the device.

Assign template from device management policies

Device management policies help manage resources. You can assign monitoring templates, knowledge base articles, and custom attributes using device management policies. The device management policy can be applied to one or a set of resources. For more information, see Creating Policies.

View resource metrics

The gateway monitors the application using the assigned templates and displays the results in graphical format. To view resource metrics, click the database resource name > resource Details > Metrics.

Troubleshooting

If you have database monitoring issues, verify:

• The resource is accessible and Telnet is established for the IP address and port.
• You used valid credentials.

Assign templates from setup

Assign Sybase templates to one or more resources for a selected client and modify the configuration parameters while assigning templates. For more information, see Assign Templates from Setup.

Assign templates at the device level

Applying Sybase templates at the device level helps assign one or more templates to a specific resource. You can change the configuration parameter default values while assigning the templates. For more information, see Assign Templates at the Device Level.
