The eG Installation Guide - eG Innovations

Installing and Configuring on Unix
To start the eG DB2 performance monitor script, login as a DB2 admin user and execute the command
/opt/egurkha/bin/start_egdb2mon. This script uses the DB2INSTANCE environment variable to determine the
instance that it must monitor.
eG’s DB2 tests depend on performance monitoring switches that are exposed by the DB2 server. In
the target environment, these switches may be enabled or disabled. While starting eG’s performance
monitor script, please check to make sure that the performance monitoring switches are enabled in
the DB2 server. If any of the performance monitoring switches is OFF, the start_egdb2mon script
displays the following message:
Starting eG DB2 PerfMonitor ........
DB2 default monitor DFT_MON_BUFPOOL switch is OFF !
DB2 default monitor DFT_MON_STMT switch is OFF !
You need to switch ON the above DB2 default monitors and restart the database.
Command for switching ON the monitor is:
db2 "update database manager config using {monitor_name} ON"
***************************************************************
The eGurkha DB2 PerfMonitor is started ...
***************************************************************
As indicated in the above message, set the performance monitors for monitoring by eG agents by
executing the command /opt/egurkha/bin/egdb2monswitch. Once this command is executed, the DB2
server needs to be restarted for the performance monitoring to be turned on.
Note:
If there is more than one instance of the DB2 server executing on a system, the eG DB2 performance
monitor script (start_egdb2mon) has to be executed for all the instances.
2.17.3 Configuring a Sybase Adaptive Server
A Sybase Adaptive server can be configured in two ways:
While configuring the eG agent, you will be prompted to configure the Sybase adaptive
server.
Do you want to configure any Sybase Adaptive servers running on for
monitoring by the eG agent? y/n [y]
If you enter y here, then setup will automatically execute the setup_sybase.sh command in the
/opt/egurkha/bin directory. Steps 1 to 7 described below, will then follow.
Alternatively, you can manually execute the command setup_sybase.sh from the /opt/egurkha/bin
directory.
1. Follow the steps below if you opt for the second option:
2. Upon execution, the command will request for the following inputs:
The IP address of the host on which the Sybase server has been installed
The port at which the Sybase server listens
The Password of the Sybase administrative user (who holds the “sa_role” privilege).
