Default Parameters for IBMDb2AppsTest

This test auto-discovers applications running on each DB2 UDB instance on the target DB2 server, and reports which application has more connections open to (i.e., processes running in) the Db2 database. This test also reveals the application that consumed CPU for maximum time and required maximum number of direct read and write operations.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the IBMDb2AppsTest.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• To monitor Db2 UDB database server, the eG agent should be configured with the credentials of a user with any of the following privileges SYSADM or SYSCTRL or SYSMAINT or SYSMON. Specify the name of user in the USER text box.

• The eG agent should be configured with the credentials of a user to monitor Db2 UDB database server. Specify the password of the specified user in the PASSWORD text box.

• Confirm the Password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• The test uses a database on the monitored Db2 UDB server. Specify the name of the database in the DATABASE NAME text box.

• Specify the list of databases that you wish to monitor in a comma-seperated list in the INCLUDE DB text box. By default this is set to ALL.

• Specify the list of databases that you wish to exclude from monitoring in a comma-seperated list in the EXCLUDE DB text box. By default this is set to NONE.

• If the database server being monitored is SSL-enabled, then set the SSL flag to Yes. If not, then set the SSL flag to No.

• By default, the detailed diagnosis of this test, if enabled, will report only the top-5 records. This is why, the DD ROW COUNT parameter is set to 5 by default. If you want to include more or less records in detailed diagnosis, then change the value of this parameter accordingly.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz*” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
