Credentials

Database user name and password with DBA authorities.

Before using this template you should put correct database name (DBN property) in Connection String.
Example: Driver={SQL Anywhere 12};DBN=demo;Host=${IP};Uid=${USER};Pwd=${PASSWORD};

Component monitors

Click here for an overview about SAM application monitor templates and component monitors. SAM API Poller templates are also available.

Components without predetermined threshold values provide guidance such as "Use the lowest threshold possible" or "Use the highest threshold possible" to help you find a threshold appropriate for your application.
