This chapter describes the data that is available from the DB2 Version 6 database system monitor. It explains how you can either take a snapshot of this data, or request the database manager to log information when certain events take place.
It describes the types of snapshots that you can take, and how they can be taken using CLP (command line processor) commands or APIs (application programming interfaces). It details the types of event monitors that can be used for data collection, and how to collect that information using commands and tools that come with DB2.
