Sybase Database

[bill_scheuernst]

I've been involved with one of many Sybase database issues today and of course the issue of monitoring came up.  We recently had an issue where our master database was not available.  It was an issue with the AseConnection and a server reboot resolved the issue.  What is an AseConnection and are there any ideas on how to best monitor it?

Not an expert on Sybase but the AseConnection is likely just the connection manger for ODBC like connections from clients to query the database. Monitoring Sybase in depth will likely require a similar approach like for many other databases - a AG plugin that can query the internal monitoring metrics of the database (e.g. like the ones described here)
