Monitoring SQL

Rob Moore · Post by **Rob Moore** » Tue May 10, 2005 12:52 pm

I noticed a test in the Test Method dialog called "Check MS SQL Server." I don't find anything about that test in the documentation, though. I tried to set up a test using this method but it fails. There's a message at the bottom of the screen that says "Warning: Cannot load ntwdblib.dll MS SQL client library might not be properly installed."

Can you explain to me what's going on here? Is there a detailed explanation of how to set this up somewhere?

Thanks,
Rob

We don't have detailed explanation about such test because its pretty simple. There are some quotes from the manual:

...
Servers are checked by logging into (and out) of the server.
...
The same is true for other SQL servers, install the client software for testing your SQL server. HostMonitor uses the following DLLs:
- gds32.dll to monitor Interbase connections
- ntwdblib.dll to monitor MS SQL Server
- libmysql.dll to monitor MySQL
- libpq.dll to monitor PostgreSQL
- libsybdb.dll to monitor Sybase

It means MS SQL client library should be installed in order to perform such test.
