Partitioned environments

In a partitioned DB2® environment, many attributes are available as either raw, non-aggregated data from individual database partitions or as aggregated data across all database partitions.

The Db2 agent can monitor this data for a specific single partition, the current partition, or an aggregation across all database partitions. All attribute groups that contain the db_partition attribute are capable of returning partition-specific data.

By default, the workspaces and situations provided by the Db2 agent request data for the current partition. To change this default behavior, you must create a query filter or situation filter using the db_partition attribute. Set the filter value to one or more of the partitioning numbers (0 - 999), current partition, or partition aggregation. To monitor all partitions, set filter value to "!= Aggregated", and all the partition data except the aggregated data is covered. An empty filter results in the default behavior. When an attribute group containing a db_partition attribute is enabled for historical data collection, data is collected for each individual partition and the aggregation; this behavior cannot be configured.
