To configure Sybase monitors, do the following:

1. In the Sybase monitor template, complete the monitor information fields.
2. To learn how to configure monitor information fields, see Monitor Identification.
3. Complete the following fields:
   
   • Port
     The number of the port number on which the database is listening. The default is 5000.
   • Port Check (Optional)
     Select this option to open a socket connection that determines whether the database is listening on the defined port.
   • Username
     The user name that is required to login to the database.
   • Password
     The password that is required to login to the database.
   • Database
     The name of the Sybase database to which you want to connect.
   • Script
     Click the Script checkbox and then type or copy the script that you want Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to against the database into this text box. Use this option if you do not have access to the file system on the Monitoring Station or if your script is short or does not regularly change.

   • Script File
     Click the Script File check box and then enter the full path on the Monitoring Station to the script that this monitor runs against the database.

     Info
     If you configured your database to allow logins without a user name and password and you specify the script file but no login information, the script fails and an error message appears on the Global Scan dashboard. The script runs if you have configured your database to allow logins without a user name and password.

   • Match (Regular Expression)
     Enter a regular expression that you want to match against the string returned from the database. If the string matches, the status is OK. Otherwise, the status is Critical.
