Enhancement	Description
Db2 Historical Monitoring (db2histmon)	To aid with problem determination and improve the availability of diagnostic and monitoring data at the first occurrence of a problematic event, the new Db2 Historical Monitoring (db2histmon) scripts and framework are now available. These scripts deploy a broad set of monitoring and diagnostic data collection, at varying intervals, and manage the archival and purging of this historical data. Data collection sets can be customized as needed, and can be deployed on all modern versions of Db2.
