Starting a Monitor

You can start a monitor from any Server Manager window by choosing Monitor from the File menu. You can also start a monitor by executing the MONITOR command in a SQL Worksheet. For information on starting a monitor from a worksheet, see Chapter 9, "Using the SQL Worksheet."

When you start a monitor, the monitor is connected to the same database as the window from which you started the monitor and shows statistics for that database instance.

When you choose Monitor from the File menu or execute the MONITOR command from a SQL Worksheet, the Monitor dialog box appears. The following figure illustrates the Monitor dialog box.

Figure 10 - 1. Monitor Dialog Box

In the Monitor dialog box, you select the type of monitor to start, and then click OK to start the monitor. You can also start a monitor by double-clicking its type in the scrolling list.

If the monitor you selected has already been started, Server Manager brings that window to the front. You may run only one monitor of each type for each instance to which you are connected.
