Installation / Consulting suport is available for this package and I am happy to discuss my partnership program for consultants who wish to redistribute this package.
Please send feedback on any problems you have installing or using this package.
You may install this software two ways. The first is to attempt a full install - which requires a configured perl (since this is mostly perl code) - and the second is to install only the stored procedures that are in the procs subdirectory. That directory contains a configure.sh script which will install only the stored procedure library - on a server by server basis.

Use rsh and rcp to distribute interfaces files across
systems by system type (QA, DEVELOPMENT, PRODUCTION) (free) |
It is also useful (not required) to install Apache (or some other web server) on the system on which you install this package. As with Perl, Apache can easily be downloaded and installed on your NT workstation. I believe that web pages provides the best way to format and deliver information to you and your users. This package includes Eds System Documenter, a tool that documents your servers using a set of static html reports that are refreshed at night. The package also includes Webmonitor II, a full featured browser based system for managing your servers. Eds System Documenter requires that you have access to a web server somewhere either locally or via ftp (it will copy new static reports each night). Webmonitor II requires a web server local to the system on which you install this package.
You also must have sa access to to your servers to install the extended stored procedure library.
Here are detailed instructions on how to set up the prerequisite packages (as with most of my hyperlinks, it will open in a new window).
A full version of my software, Apache, perl, and small Sybase ASE Server runs with no problems on my 450Mhz NT Laptop (192MB RAM).
We also provide consulting and training on how to set up and manage your
data centers. This type of consulting is my primary revenue generator
- so consider using my services. This software was developed
to provide you with everything you need to reliably monitor, manage,
and maintain your servers.
