Configuration scenarios

With DB2 Connect Monitoring, you can monitor remote DB2 clients that connect through a DB2 Connect gateway. There are several ways to set up Performance Expert Agent for Db2 Connect Monitoring.

DB2 Connect Monitoring involves the OMEGAMON® Collector and the Performance Expert Agent for Db2 Connect Monitoring. The Performance Expert Agent for Db2 Connect Monitoring, also called DB2 Connect Agent, collects information about the requests that are issued from the clients through the DB2 Connect gateway and makes it available for the OMEGAMON Collector. You can view the monitoring information with Tivoli® Enterprise Portal, Classic Interface, OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface, and Performance Expert Client.

You can configure one of two scenarios for the Performance Expert Agent for Db2 Connect Monitoring. You can configure it to report the DB2 Connect gateway information to each DB2 subsystem monitored by the OMEGAMON Collector, or you configure it to report the information to just one of the monitored DB2 subsystems. Both scenarios are described in more detail.
