Monitor Utility Overview

The Monitor utility allows you to monitor Pervasive.SQL activities on a server. It provides information that is useful for both database administration and application programming diagnostics. Monitor supports monitoring of the ODBC communications server as well as MicroKernel attributes. Features include:

• Display users (connected via ODBC Client), client info (host name, IP address, application), data source name, connection info (status, connection time, active/idle period)
• Auto-refresh of user/connection info

Note
These features require authentication to view remotely.

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.
