Performance Expert Agent for Db2 Connect Monitoring

The Performance Expert Agent for Db2 Connect Monitoring monitors connections of remote applications within the Distributed Relational Database Architecture (DRDA) that are connected through Db2. The Performance Expert Agent for Db2 Connect Monitoring is installed on the Db2 Connect Gateway and provides Db2 Connect data for the OMEGAMON Collector.

When Performance Expert Agent for Db2 Connect Monitoring is installed on a Db2 Connect Gateway, it collects connection-related data, such as the connection status of a remote application. It also collects statistics about Db2 Connect activities. The collected snapshot data is then stored periodically and can be examined using the user interfaces.

Db2 administrators can use the collected data, for example, to find out whether the connection of the remote application is working. They can also use this data to identify network problems between Db2 Connect and the Db2 server.
