Configuring Sybase monitoring
FortiDB uses either the Sybase audit system (Sybase Monitoring and Diagnostic (MDA) tables) or the TCP/IP sniffer to collect audit information from Sybase databases.
The TCP/IP sniffer is provided by the appliance version of FortiDB only. For detailed configuration instructions, see Configuring monitoring using the TCP/IP sniffer (all database types).
