Network Requirements

  • The machine on which the database is running or the machine you want to monitor must be accessible from the machine where the Database Agent is installed and running. This machine must have a network connection, internet, or intranet.
  • If your databases are behind a firewall, you must configure the firewall to permit the machine running the Database Agent program access to the databases. The database listener port (and optionally the SSH or WMI port) must be open.
  • The network bandwidth used between the agent and the controller is approximately 300 KB per minute per collector for a large database with 200 clients using 50 schemas, processing about 10,000 queries a minute. The actual numbers depend on the type of database server, the number of individual schemas on the server, and the number of unique queries executed daily, and therefore varies.
