Database logs

IBM DB2® has a number of facilities that assist you with problem diagnosis and recovery. For example, there are the error logs, db2diag.log on distributed systems, and db2alert.log on z/OS®, that contain error and alert information recorded by various components of the IBM Db2 product. Refer to the DB2 Troubleshooting Guide for comprehensive information about what options are available, how to use them, and how to interpret the information provided.

Other database products have similar logs; consult your database administrator or database documentation for more information.
