Starting the Monitor Utility

The Monitor utility provides a "snapshot" of server activity at a recent point in time. How recent the snapshot is depends on the polling interval. For information on how to set the polling interval, see Setting Monitor Utility Options .

To start Monitor

  1. You can start Monitor from the Pervasive program commands on the Start menu or from the Tools menu in Pervasive PSQL Control Center.
  2. Figure 11-1 Monitor Utility Main Dialog Box



    When you start the Monitor utility, it connects to the local engine by default. However, you can also monitor remote server engine resources by connecting to the remote server.


    Note
    If dialog boxes are currently open in the Monitor utility window, you cannot connect to or disconnect from a remote server. Close the open dialog boxes before proceeding.

To connect to a remote server

  1. Choose Connect on the Options menu. The Connect to Remote Server dialog box appears, as shown in Figure 11-2 .

  3. Enter the server name in the Server Name box, along with your user name and password for that server. To be authenticated, you must have full administrator-level rights on the machine where the database engine is running or be a member of the Pervasive_Admin group on the machine where the database engine is running.
  4. To disconnect from a server, choose Disconnect on the Options menu.
