Using the Guardium Installation Manager Client
Use the Guardium Installation Manager Client to install, to configure, and to update the Guardium S-TAP (Software TAP) and other Guardium agents. The Guardium S-TAP and other Guardium® agents are used to monitor database activities.
The Guardium Installation Manager (GIM) Client
installer is integrated with the installation of all Db2® database server
products. When you complete the installation of the Db2 server by running the
Db2 Setup
wizard, the GIM Client installer is placed in path <Db2 installation
path>
/guardium. The GIM Client installer is included in both custom and typical
Db2
installations for these installation types: - Db2 Enterprise Server Edition and Db2 pureScale® installations
- Root and non-root installations
Note: With the release of Db2
11.5.9,
the Guardium Installation Manager (GIM) client installer
is no longer integrated with the installation of Db2. The latest version
of the GIM Client installer can be downloaded from FixCentral: Database Agent (STAP, GIM and CAS)
To install and configure the GIM Client, you must run the GIM installer. Installing the Guardium S-TAP with the GIM Client installer is not supported in containerized Db2 environments. To monitor Db2 databases in containerized environments, external S-TAP must be used.
For information on the system requirements for installing Guardium S-TAP, see IBM Guardium System Requirements and Supported Platforms.
