Run and cry wolf?
Have you ever been in a situation where an uptake in activity triggers an alarm even when the activity level is “normal” for the particular time period? Well that’s the cry-wolf effect[1].
Nothing is “normal” in environments where digital business applications generate extreme high volumes of transactions, with unexpected or unpredictable usage patterns. All this places a massive challenge on DB2 management and monitoring.
What is needed for a healthy DB2 system? What can trace data learn us? How to quickly recognize the impact of spikes in transaction volumes for mobile applications? How to differentiate between short duration spikes and increases in ongoing workload resource consumption?
Nowadays, in your job role, you are asked to go beyond just monitoring to provide dynamic and proactive management of your DB2 environment.
Are you also looking for, or even better, do you want to share, how to determine what metrics to monitor, and understand what valid thresholds are based on current business demands ?
Don’t hesitate and register today for the next DB2 GSE user group meeting and join your peers for this afternoon packed with experiences and approaches for an in-depth insight in new and changed metrics, and a move to a more dynamic monitored DB2 environment.
