The Monitor collects metrics and performance data from databases (including those read-only scale-out and mirroring systems), MobiLink servers, MobiLink server farms, and Relay Server farms running on other computers, while a separate computer accesses the Monitor via a browser.
The Monitor is a Flash-based application that is served to a web browser via the SQL Anywhere built-in HTTP server. You interact with the Monitor through its browser interface.
There are two editions of the Monitor:
SQL Anywhere Monitor Developer Edition The Monitor Developer Edition is intended for development and testing use. It is installed by default with SQL Anywhere and it uses the installed software on the back-end.
SQL Anywhere Monitor Production Edition The Production Edition is intended for deployment and production use. It is installed separately, runs as a service, and includes a fully-contained SQL Anywhere installation. This edition is only available for certain editions of the software.
RequirementsFor the computer where the Monitor is installed
To run the Monitor on a Windows system that has the Windows Firewall enabled, you must add a port exception for port 4950.
The Monitor reserves 384 MB of virtual address space when you start the Monitor. When you start the Monitor on Linux, you must ensure that you have least this amount of virtual space available.
To monitor resources that are secured using FIPS-certified encryption, you need a separate license.
The Monitor can run on the same computer as the resources it is monitoring, but it is recommended, particularly in production environments, that you run the Monitor on a different computer to minimize the impact on the database server, the MobiLink server, the Relay Server farm or other applications.
It is recommended in production environments that you run the Monitor Production Edition.
When running the Monitor Developer Edition, you must have SQL Anywhere Server 16 or later installed. The Monitor Developer Edition uses the installed SQL Anywhere on the back-end.
For the computer accessing the Monitor
Install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player that is available for your operating system. The Monitor is backward compatible
with version 10 of Adobe Flash Player. To determine the correct version, see ![[external link]](gif/external.gif)
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/systemreqs/.
Enable JavaScript in your browser.
Ensure that the computer where you are using a browser to access the Monitor is connected to the network where the Monitor is installed.
You can access the Monitor from the same computer as it is running on, but it is recommended, particularly in production environments, that you access the Monitor from a different computer.
LimitationsYou can only run one edition of the Monitor on a computer at a time.
On Linux, the Monitor Developer Edition can only be run by the user who installed it.
On Linux, only the user with a Linux administrator privilege can install and run the Monitor Production Edition.
The Monitor connects to databases over TCP/IP. To monitor a database running on the local database server (dbeng16), start the database server with the -x all or -x tcpip option.
You cannot use the Monitor to optimize queries or determine the speed of your application. If you are interested in tuning database and application performance, you can use such tools as the Application Profiling Wizard, the Sybase Central Performance Monitor, or the Windows Performance Monitor.
The Monitor does not provide information about individual synchronizations. For detailed information about individual synchronizations, including timing and other per-synchronization statistics, use the MobiLink Profiler.
For information about the versions of databases, MobiLink servers, MobiLink server farms, and Relay Server farms that the
Monitor supports, see the supported platforms page.
