IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Applications, Version 7.2.1

Features of Sybase agent

The Sybase agent offers a central point of management for distributed databases. It provides a comprehensive means for gathering exactly the information you need to detect problems early and prevent them. Because information is standardized across all systems, you can monitor hundreds of servers from a single workstation. You can collect and analyze specific information easily.

The Sybase agent is an intelligent, remote monitoring agent that resides on managed systems. It helps you anticipate trouble and warns system administrators when critical events occur on their systems. With the Sybase agent, database and system administrators can set required threshold levels and flags to alert administrators when the system reaches these thresholds.

Each Sybase agent instance collects information about one Sybase Server domain. The monitoring agent performs the following types of monitoring functions:

Obtains data from a Sybase Server database and uses it to create various reports whenever you choose. This data is useful for examining the performance of the Sybase Server system.
Evaluates situations to detect when Sybase Server attribute values exceed preset thresholds you have defined, and makes this exception information available to an IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring workstation.

Monitoring for exceptions requires you to create the Sybase agent situations that are meaningful to the Sybase Server transactions that you are monitoring. Example situations and expert advice are provided on the IBM Tivoli Monitoring workstation to make this task as easy as possible.
