Why does the SQL Anywhere Monitor stop monitoring?

[Breck_Carter]

...and how do I get it to start again?

---

After rebooting and restarting everything, the SQL Anywhere Monitor 12.0.1.3810 display doesn't give any positive indication that anything is wrong...

However, the "CPU Usage 0%" and the empty "Connections" frame doesn't agree with reality (a la Foxhound)...

The Administration - Resources tab says "Monitoring stopped"...

However, the Start button doesn't do anything.

FWIW, Configure... Server - Test Connection works OK, and the Repair... button also seems to run OK.

I would click on "Help" but there isn't anything to click on.

The Saga Continues...

I deleted the resource, and re-added it, but it refused to start monitoring it...

The Saga Continues (2)...

I deleted the resource, and stopped and started the service, and then it refused to connect to the SQL Anywhere Monitor resource (its own database)...

---

The Saga Continues (3)...

After rebooting, and creating two database resources, one local, one remote, both working when "Test Connection" is run... still nothing... the Monitor display is empty:

The 'SQL Anywhere Monitor' resource reporting 'Monitoring Stopped' is not a good thing as that resource should never be in a 'Monitoring Stopped' state. The 'Administration' - 'Exception Reports' tab may have given some clues on why things weren't working properly.

If it happens again, please report anything you see in the 'Exception Reports' - thanks.

Oops, I forgot to mention that the Tools - Administration - Exception Reports display was empty.

After the re-install, the symptom has not reappeared.

A workaround is this...

Uninstall SQL Anywhere Monitor 12,

re-install the setup.exe found in the Monitor folder of the 12.0.1 GA sqla1201win3264.zip, and then

re-apply the EBF SA12_Monitor_Windows.1201_3810_EBF.exe

No idea why it stopped monitoring anything... sure hope it doesn't happen again.
