eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by Db2DPFConnTest

This test reports key statistics pertaining to the local and remote connections to the DB2 database manager.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Total_conns Indicates the total number of local and remote connections that are currently present in the database manager. Number  
Local_conns Indicates the number of local applications that are currently connected to a database within the database manager instance being monitored. Number This number can help you determine the level of concurrent processing occurring in the database manager. This number only includes applications that were initiated from the same instance as the database manager. The applications are connected, but may or may not be executing a unit of work in the database. When used in conjunction with the Remote_conns measurement, this measure can help you adjust the setting of the MAXAGENTS configuration parameter.
Remote_conns Indicates the percentage of agents waiting for a token so they can execute a transaction in the database manager. Number This number does not include applications that were initiated from the same instance as the database manager. When used in conjunction with the Local_conns measure, this measure can help you adjust the setting of the MAX_COORDAGENTS configuration parameter.
Local_conns_in_exec Indicates the number of local applications that are currently connected to a database within the database manager instance being monitored and are currently processing a unit of work. Number This number can help you determine the level of concurrent processing occurring in the database manager. This number only includes applications that were initiated from the same instance as the database manager. When used in conjunction with the Remote_conns_in_exec measure, this measure can help you adjust the setting of the MAXCAGENTS configuration parameter.
Remote_conns_in_exec Indicates the number of remote applications that are currently connected to a database and are currently processing a unit of work within the database manager instance being monitored. Percent This number can help you determine the level of concurrent processing occurring on the database manager. This number does not include applications that were initiated from the same instance as the database manager. When used in conjunction with the Local_conns_in_exec measurement, this metric can help you adjust the setting of the MAXCAGENTS configuration parameter.
