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:

ElementDescription
DB CPU usageCPU usage in percentage.
DB storage sizeThe allocated storage space and the storage space used by the database.
DB server statusShows 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:

FieldDescription
DB instanceThe size of the database, based on your license offering.
DB instance identifierThe name of the database.
DB instance endpointThe host and port that you can use to access the database.
Allowed IPsThe 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.
