Health Monitor

A tool for "management by exception," the Health Monitor assesses database system health and notifies you by e-mail or pager about potential or existing problems. The monitor runs on each DB2 instance.

Health Center

The Health Center, one of the first implementations of the smart database, is a graphical client tool that displays database system health for all instances cataloged on the client. The Health Center collects information from the health monitors for the cataloged instances and provides a text or graphical notification of potential or existing problems on all centers, or in the Health Center main view.

You can use the interface to see details on each alert. The tool recommends how to resolve the issue and provides the interface to apply the solution. This level of usability enables even novice users to successfully perform problem determination and resolution.
