Monitoring the Database

After you create the database instance in the cloud, you can monitor its status on the Database page in IBM® webMethods Cloud Container.

On the Database dashboard of the Database page, you can view the following elements:

Element Description
DB CPU usage CPU usage in percentage.
DB storage size The allocated storage space and the storage space used by the database.
DB server status Shows if the database server is running. You can start or stop the server at any time by clicking Start server or Stop server.

In the Configuration details section of the Database page, you can view the following fields:

Field Description
DB instance The size of the database, based on your license offering.
DB instance identifier The name of the database.
DB instance endpoint The host and port that you can use to access the database.
Allowed IPs The list of external IPs that can access the database. It is recommended to use the database only from applications in IBM webMethods iPaaS. By default, you can access the database only in the cloud. For administrative purposes you can enable access to the database from external IPs. To add external IPs, click Edit and type each IP on a new row. The supported IP format is Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) block format, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yy. If you specify only xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, mask /32 is automatically added.
