This test is used to monitors each type of wait events on the Sybase database server and reports key performance statistics pertaining to every event type. This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the SybProcessWaitTest.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. 

• To enable this test to connect to the Sybase server and collect the required metrics, it is enough if you configure the test with the name of a Sybase user who has the “mon_role” credential in the USER text box. However, for best results, it is recommended that you configure all Sybase tests with the credentials of a Sybase user who has the “mon_role”, “sa_role”, and “sybase_ts_role”.

• The password corresponding to the above user has to be entered in the PASSWORD text box.

• Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box. 

• Specify the number of wait events for which details will be available in the detailed diagnosis page. If the number specified here is say, 5, then, even if the total number of wait events is 10, the detailed diagnosis of this test will provide information pertaining to only 5 events. For information related to more number of events, you should increase the DDROWCOUNT.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with "$" indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to "xyz" and $port will be changed to "80" when configuring a test.
