3 Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise Database Metrics

This chapter provides descriptions for Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise Database Plug-In metric categories, and tables list and describe associated metrics for each category. The tables also provide user actions if any of the metrics for a particular category support user actions.

This chapter covers the metric categories that appear for all releases of System Monitoring Plug-In for Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise Database. If you see a release number against a metric name, then it indicates that the metric appears only for that particular release of the plug-in. Otherwise, the metric appears for all releases of the plug-in. For example, if you see For Release 6, then it indicates that the metric appears only for System Monitoring Plug-In for Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) Release 6 (1.0.1.0.0).

Note that in Release 9, the metric collection has been disabled for the following metrics:

Note that in Release 11, the metric collection has been disabled for the following metrics:

To enable these metrics, follow these steps:

  1. In Enterprise Manager Grid Control, on the plug-in Home page, from the Related Links section, click Metric and Policy Settings.

  2. On the Metric and Policy Settings page, from the View list, select All metrics. In the table that lists all the metrics, in the Collection Schedule column, you will see Disabled mentioned for some metrics.

  3. Click Disabled. Enterprise Manager Grid Control displays the Edit Collection Settings page.

  4. On the Edit Collection Settings page, in the Collection Schedule section, click Enable and then Continue. Enterprise Manager Grid Control displays the Metric and Policy Settings page with the metric enabled.

  5. On the Metric and Policy Settings page, click OK.
