eG Monitoring  

Measures reported by IBMDb2DbUsgTest

Monitoring the space usage of each of the databases on the Db2 UDB database server, and reporting whether any database is experiencing excessive space usage or insufficient space allocation is crucial for the performance evaluation. To monitor the space usage of all Db2 databases, and to shed light on those databases that are running short of space, eG Enterprise offers the IBMDb2DbUsgTest

This test auto-discovers all Db2 database instances, and for each database instance, reports the space usage. This way, the tests sheds light on those databases that are running short of space.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each DB2 UDB server being monitored

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
TotalAllocatedSize Indicates the total amount of space allocated to this database. GB  
UsedSize Indicates the amount of space that is currently used on this database. GB  
FreeSize Indicates the amount of space that is currently available for use on this database. GB Ideally, the value of this measure should be high.
UsedPercentage Indicates the percentage of space that is being utilized on this database. Percent A value close to 100% is a cause for concern.
