when seeking candidate entries in response for a search request. -1 indicates that there is no
limit. After resetting the parameter, click on the Save button to save the changes.

2.17 Configuring Database Servers
2.17.1 Configuring an Oracle Database Server
eG agents can collect a variety of statistics from Oracle database servers. To monitor an Oracle
database server using an eG agent, a special database user account should be created in each Oracle
database instance to monitored. Database user creation can be accomplished via eG Enterprise’s webbased
administrative interface itself. Please refer to the eG User Manual for more information
regarding the database user creation.
2.17.2 Configuring a DB2 Database Server
For monitoring an IBM DB2 Universal database server on Unix environments:
The eG internal agent has to be executed on the DB2 server’s host.
In addition, a separate DB2 performance monitor script has to be started. One instance of this
script has to be executed for each DB2 instance to be monitored. This script uses the DB2
snapshot-monitoring interface to extract and report performance data to the agent. This
script should be executed from a user account that belongs to the DB2 administrator group.
