Using iSeries Navigator with summary monitors

 

You can work with summary monitors from the iSeries™ Navigator interface. A summary monitor creates a Memory-Resident Database monitor (DBMon), found on the native interface.

As the name implies, this monitor resides in memory and only retains a summary of the data collected. When the monitor is paused or ended, this data is written to a hard disk and can be analyzed. Because the monitor stores its information in memory, the performance impact to your system is minimized. However, you do lose some of the detail.

• Starting a summary monitor
  You can start a summary monitor from the iSeries Navigator interface.

• Analyzing summary monitor information
  Once data has been collected in the monitor, it can be analyzed.

• Importing a monitor
  You can import monitor data that has been collected using Start Database Monitor (STRDBMON) command or some other interface by using iSeries Navigator.
