Introduction
Description of Adaptive Server Enterprise Monitor
Adaptive Server Enterprise Monitor (Adaptive Server Monitor) provides
a way to monitor Adaptive Server performance in real time or in a
historical data-gathering mode. System administrators can use this
information to identify potential resource bottlenecks, to research current
problems, and to tune for better performance. Adaptive Server Monitor
provides feedback for tuning at several levels:
• Adaptive Server configuration
• Database design
• SQL statements in applications and stored procedures
Adaptive Server Monitor components
Adaptive Server Monitor consists of four components that gather or
display Adaptive Server performance data:
• Adaptive Server Enterprise Monitor Server (Monitor Server) – this
server collects Adaptive Server performance data in real time and
makes the data available to the other Adaptive Server Monitor
components. Monitor Server is a Sybase Open Server application.
• Adaptive Server Enterprise Monitor Historical Server (Historical
Server) – this server obtains Adaptive Server performance data from
Monitor Server and saves the data in files for deferred analysis.
Historical Server is a Sybase Open Server application.
