Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere SNMP Extension Agent manual

Configuring the Adaptive Server Anywhere SNMP Extension Agent

The Adaptive Server Anywhere Extension Agent can monitor one or more databases. The databases to be monitored are stored in the asasnmp.ini file with the following format:

[ASAAgent]

TrapPollTime=time in seconds

[DBn]

ConnStr=connection string

UtilDbPwd=utility database password

CacheTime=time in seconds

Trapt=trap information

Disabled=1 or 0

By default, your SQL Anywhere Studio installation places the asasnmp.ini file in the C:\Program Files\Sybase\SQL Anywhere 9\win32 directory.

Once you edit this file, you must restart the SNMP service or reset the Adaptive Server Anywhere SNMP Extension Agent so that the new settings are used by the Agent.
