The SybSpaceTest reports the space usage of all the Sybase databases. The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

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

Note:

Frequent execution of this test could cause the MS SQL server to incur high operational overheads, especially when the load on the server is very high. In such circumstances, it is recommended that you set a high TEST PERIOD (say, 30 minutes) for this test.

• In the HOST text box, the host name of the server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• The port number to which the selected server is listening to has to be mentioned in the PORT text box.

• 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” and “sa_role” credentials 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.

• Specify a comma-separated list of databases that you wish to monitor in the INCLUDE DB text box. By default, this is set to all.

• Specify a comma-separated list of databases that you wish to exclude from the scope of monitoring in the EXCLUDE DB text box. By default, this is set to none.

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

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

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

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
