System Configuration Information

System Configuration Information metrics collect the information related to the database software. Each installation of the database software provides an instance to store the data. System Configuration Information metrics consist of the following categories:

Database System Information

The metrics in this category provide information about the various system configuration metrics for the database system, including the name and operating system properties.

  • Table Name — MGMT_EMX_IBMDB2_DBSYS

Fix Pack Number

FixPak number, as returned by the db2level command.

Product Information

The metrics in this category provide information about the installed IBM DB2 database product.

  • Table Name — MGMT_EMX_IBMDB2_DBPRO

  • View Name — MGMT_EMX_IBMDB2_DBPRO_VIEW

Default Collection Interval — Every 24 hours

Table 2-36 Product Information Metrics

Metric Description

Database Path

Installation path of the database.

Product

Installed product.

Version

Version of the installed product.

Partition Information

The metrics in this category return parameters about parallel operations and partitioned database environments.

  • Table Name — MGMT_EMX_IBMDB2_DBPART

  • View Name — MGMT_EMX_IBMDB2_DBPART_VIEW

Default Collection Interval — Every 24 hours

Table 2-37 Partition Information Metrics

Metric Description

Partition Number (key column)

Partition number where the database is installed.

Host Name

Host name of the machine where the db2 database software is installed.

Logical Port

TCP/IP port number to communicate with the database.

Switch Name

Name of the switch where the database is connected.

Registry Settings

The metrics in this category provide information about the various registry parameters for the database.

  • Table Name — MGMT_EMX_IBMDB2_DBREGSET

  • View Name — MGMT_EMX_IBMDB2_DBREGSET_VIEW

Default Collection Interval — Every 24 hours

Table 2-38 Registry Settings Metrics

Metric Description

Database Registry Variable (key column)

Name of the DB2 registry variable.

Current Value

Current setting of the DB2 registry variable.

Is Aggregate

Indicates whether or not the DB2 registry variable is an aggregate variable. Possible return values are 0 if it is not an aggregate variable, and 1 if it is an aggregate variable.

Aggregate Name

Name of the aggregate if the DB2 registry variable is currently getting its value from a configured aggregate. If the registry variable is not being set through an aggregate, or is set through an aggregate but has been overridden, the value of AGGREGATE_NAME is NULL.

Level

Values are:

Instance — If level1_raw = I Global — If level1_raw = G Database Partition — If level1_raw = N

Otherwise, the value is Environment.
