Getting started with the Health Center
You can start the Health Center in the following ways:
v On Windows systems, click Start and select Programs —> IBM DB2 —> [DB2
copy name]—> Monitoring Tools —> Health Center.
v Select Health Center from the Tools menu of another tool.
v Click the Health Center icon
from the toolbar of another tool.
v Enter the db2hc command.
v Click the health center status beacon when it appears on a DB2 window. On the
Tools Settings window, you can configure this beacon to appear on every DB2
window whenever an alert occurs.
Use the Health Center to monitor the state of the database environment and make
any necessary changes.
When you use DB2, a health monitor continuously monitors a set of health
indicators. If the current value of a health indicator is outside the acceptable
operating range defined by its warning and alarm thresholds, the health monitor
generates a health alert. DB2 comes with a set of predefined threshold values,
which you can later customize. For example, you can customize the alarm and
warning thresholds for the amount of space used in a table space.
