By using the HISTORY command, you can view thread activity, statistics, and system parameters data previously gathered by the data collector. See Viewing past data for a complete description about how to view past performance data.

The History Collected field shows either YES or NO to indicate if any past data is available.

The History Interval field indicates how often DB2® instrumentation data is being gathered by the data collector. This field is a numeric value in seconds.

The History From field shows the date and time of the earliest history data available.

The History To field shows the date and time of the most recent history data available.

The Data for which History is stored field lists the types of data gathered by the data collector. This list includes the data types specified at data collector startup and subsequent changes made by the administrator users. Statistics history keeps subsystem-wide statistical information for a Db2 subsystem. For thread activity you can collect thread history individually in a summary format, in detail format, or in detail format with locking information, SQL statement, or both. System Parameters history keeps an overview of DSNZPARM values for a Db2 subsystem.
