GOAL:
How to have Fathom monitor scripted databases without starting or stopping them.
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
Fathom Management
FIX:
Fathom for Management 2.0 and newer can monitor remote databases using a component called database agent (dbagent.exe), this process starts as a batch process and it feeds control and trending information to the Fathom instance.
Adding a Resource Monitor For a Remote Database
Follow these steps to add a resource monitor for a database on a remote machine:
1. From the Fathom Management console, click Resources.
2. Click New Resource Monitor. The New Resource Monitor page appears:
3. Click Remote Database. The Create Remote Database page appears:
4. Enter a display name for the database. The name must be unique among all remote databases you are monitoring.
5. Provide a description of the database (optional).
6. Enter the remote host name. The name must be a valid name that can be resolved.
7. Enter the remote host?s IP address (optional).
8. Enter the name of and the full path to the database on the remote machine.
9. Select the Enabled check box to enable the resource monitor.
10. Click Save. The default monitoring plan page appears. You can modify the settings if you choose.
11. When you finish, click Save. You can now add individual rules or rule sets.
12. Select the remote database from the Databases→ Remote list in the Fathom Management console list frame. The Database Details page appears:
Because the database is remote, the following links normally available on a local
database?s details page are not present:
? Log File Monitor
? Log File Viewer
? Maintenance Jobs
? File Systems View
Notice that because the database is remote and its running status is not known, the status is reflected as Unknown. Until you start the monitoring agent, its status appears as Not Running. Because the remote database agent is not running, you can use the available buttons to edit, copy, or delete the remote database monitor from Fathom.
13. Click Control, and copy the command line provided. You use this command line to start the remote monitoring agent.
14. On the remote machine hosting the database, paste the command line, which includes the following information:
? The name of the remote database (-db <database-name>)
? The host machine on which Fathom is running (-H <host-name>)
? The port on which Fathom is listening (-S <port-number>)
NOTE: All database rules which are available for a local database are also available for a remote database.
