Long-term historical data

Long-term historical data is stored in the IBM® Tivoli® Data Warehouse. The long-term history database can retain data collected by OMEGAMON® for Storage on z/OS® monitoring agents for days, weeks, months, or years. See the following documents for detailed information about the collection of historical data:
  • IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Installation and Setup Guide
  • IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Administrator's Guide

Use long-term historical data to analyze trends and determine workload balance. Tivoli Data Warehouse is the primary tool for collecting long-term historical data that IBM Tivoli Monitoring gathers. The warehouse architecture requires a relational database. The warehouse installer provides an IBM DB2®® relational database. However, the warehouse can use, instead of DB2, an Oracle, orMicrosoft SQL relational databases. Long-term history also requires installation of the Warehouse Proxy Agent software (provided). See IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Installation and Setup Guide for information about setting up the collection of long-term historical data. You must activate and configure short-term historical data collection if you want to collect long-term historical data.
