Db2 Tools

  • 1.  Where can I find the DB2 UDB log files on Linux and how monitoring them with Data Studio or on Linux ?

    Posted Sep 02, 2015 09:45 AM

    Hi !

     

    I'm coming back to work like a DBA after several years.  I've worked with DB2 mainframe, Oracle on Unix and SQL Server on Windows.

     

    Yesterday, our database shutdown on his own and restart normally.  I want to see the logs to find out what happened (bad query or anything else).

     

    Where do we find the logs files for DB2 UDB on Linux ?

     

    I want to make some monitoring, so what is the best practice ?  Data Studio or Linux directly ?

     

    How can I setup my environment to receive alerts for all the database installed ?

     

    Many thanks,

     

    Helene

    Hello Keith,

     

    I've just opened my account with them.

     

    I've received effectively automatic answers with the IBM site.

     

    From there, I should be able to get more information.

     

    One of our DB crashed (shutdown and reboot automatically) Yesterday

    afternoon.  I want to find out what happened.  Maybe the logs will help me

    to find out if any query was causing performance problem.

     

    Also,  I would like to setup a monitoring tool like Data Studio to see in

    details what's happening on daily basis for any of our databases.

     

    Many thanks,

    Hi Helene,

        It's good to know you now some an open case with IBM that should help you.

    Data studio is certainly one tool you can look at to help you.

     

    Have you any specific questions regarding a CA product we can help with?                   Thanks keith

    Hello Keith !

     

    If any product is related to database (DB2, Oracle, etc.) it's interesting

    for us.
