Event monitor (EVMON) routines

Db2 event monitor (EVMON) routines are used to extract historical data captured by unformatted event table event monitors.

Using EVMON routines

The event monitor routines allow you to access the unformatted event monitor data, either through an XML document by using the EVMON_FORMAT_UE_TO_XML table function, or through relational tables by using the EVMON_FORMAT_UE_TO_TABLES procedure. The event monitor routines are only used with event monitors that use an unformatted event table target. Event monitor routines are not needed to extract data from event monitors by using a file, pipe, or table target. Event monitor data that is captured by file, pipe, or table event monitors can be accessed directly without an extraction step.
