Administering Foglight for DB2 LUW

Administering Foglight for DB2 LUW

You use the Databases Administration dashboard to set options for collecting, storing, and displaying data about monitored DB2 instances.

Opening the Databases Administration Dashboard

You can edit settings for one or more DB2 instances on the Databases > Administration dashboard.

* 
NOTE: If you attempt to select instances of more than one type of database, such as an SQL Server database and an Oracle database, an error message is displayed.
To open the Databases Administration dashboard:
1
In the navigation panel, under Homes, click Databases.
2
Select the row check boxes beside one or more DB2 instances.
3
Click Agent settings and then click Administration.
The Administration dashboard opens, containing settings for all the selected agents. Settings are broken down into categories, which are organized under a DB2 tree.
* 
TIP: The list of agents you selected can be found by clicking Selected Agents.

The Administration dashboard provides access to the following features:

•
Reviewing the Administration Settings
•
Customizing Alarms for Foglight for DB2 LUW Rules
•
Defining Data Collection Options
•
Database Connection Details
•
Diagnostic Log
•
On-demand Data Port
•
Adding or Editing OS Credentials
•
Adding User-defined Collections

Reviewing the Administration Settings

The Databases Administration dashboard allows settings options for collecting, storing, and displaying data, which apply to all the currently selected agents. Click a category of settings on the left (for example: Connection Details) to open a view containing related settings on the right.

The metrics defined under the Databases Administration dashboard apply to all of the agents that were selected before opening the Databases Administration dashboard. As a result, the same unit of measure and aggregation value for display are enforced for all currently selected agents.

To view the full list of selected agents, click the Selected Agents button at the upper right corner of the screen. To change the list of agents to which the metrics will apply, exit the Databases Administration dashboard, select the requested agents and re-open the view.

If the settings vary between the selected agents (for example: one agent uses the measurement unit kilobyte, while another uses megabyte), the fields that contain non-identical values are displayed as empty and marked with an Inconsistent Values () icon.

Changes made to settings should be saved before selecting another category of settings.

To save changes made in an Administration dashboard view:
1
In the Database Administration dashboard, select a category from the menu.
2
Make changes to settings as necessary.
3
Click Save changes at the bottom of the view.
If you attempt to exit the view without saving changes, a Warning dialog box prompts you to confirm your action.
* 
NOTE: If you attempt to select instances of more than one type of database, such as an SQL Server database and DB2 instance, an error message is displayed.
* 
TIP: The list of agents you selected can be found by clicking Selected Agents.

Adding or Editing OS Credentials

The OS Connection Details page allows adding or editing the OS credentials for database instances and their hosts. Adding OS credentials for a database instance enables Foglight for DB2 LUW to monitor the instance’s operating system.

* 
CAUTION: It is advisable not to modify existing credentials, because such changes affect all agents that share credentials.
