Starting the Monitor

Start and log in to the Monitor.

Prerequisites

Ensure that there isn't another copy of the Monitor running on the computer.

Context and remarks

By default, the Monitor Production Edition runs automatically as a service when installed, and starts when the computer starts. If you stop the Monitor Production Edition, you can restart it using these instructions.

Task

On the computer where the Monitor is installed, start the Monitor.

On Windows

Click Start » Programs » SQL Anywhere 16 » Administration Tools » SQL Anywhere Monitor.

Alternatively, for the Monitor Production Edition, you can run the samonitor batch file from the bin32 or bin64 directory in the Monitor installation directory to restart the service.

samonitor.bat start

On Linux Run the samonitor.sh script from the bin32 or bin64 directory in the Monitor installation directory:

./samonitor.sh launch

The Monitor connects to the resources and begins collecting metrics for all resources in the Monitor.

Note

If you are starting the Monitor Developer Edition, the Monitor icon appears in the system tray.

Browse to the URL for logging in to the Monitor. The default URL is http://localhost:4950.

Note

If you are accessing the Monitor over a network, browse to http://computer-name:4950, where computer-name is the name of the computer where the Monitor is running. See Logging in remotely to the Monitor.
Log in.

In the browser, enter your user name and password for the Monitor. The user name and password for the Monitor are case sensitive. There are three different types of users: administrators, operators, and read-only users. Each type of user has different privileges. The default user is a Monitor administrator with the name admin and the password admin.

Click Remember Me On This Computer to have your session persist for two weeks or until you log out. If Remember Me On This Computer is cleared, your session expires when you close the browser or log out.

Results

The Monitor is started.

Next

The Monitor is designed to run silently in the background. You interact with the Monitor through its browser interface. It is recommended that you leave the Monitor running continuously in the background to collect metrics.
