3.23 Configuring Applications for Monitoring by eG Agents
3.23.1 Configuring a DB2 Database Server
For monitoring an IBM DB2 Universal database server on Windows environments, the DB2 PerfMonitor
has to be started. On Windows 2000, the eG DB2 PerfMonitor runs as a service.
To create this service, the users need to run the following command:
\lib\egdb2mon.bat
where indicates the DB2 instance name and indicates the port number associated
with the Db2 server. On successful execution, a service called eGurkha DB2 Perfmonitor is
created for monitoring that specific instance of DB2.
Note:
Restart of the DB2 host is mandatory to ensure that the DB2 PerfMonitor service is successfully
created. To enable service creation without system restart, do the following:
After installing the eG agent, go to the \lib directory and manually set
the value for the EG_INSTALL_DIR environment variable in the egdb2mon.bat file.
Then, run egdb2mon . This will create a new
file called db2.bat. Edit this batch file, set the
value for EG_INSTALL_DIR, and save the file.
Once the service is created, follow the steps given below to start the service (Steps 3-5 are to be
executed for the first time only):
1. Go to Control Panel > Services
2. In the list of services, click on eGurkha DB2 Perfmonitor
3. Click the Startup button available in the Services panel to open the Service panel for the
selected service.
4. Click on the This Account radio button at the bottom of the Service panel
5. Enter the username and password of the DB2 admin user in the corresponding text boxes
under the This Account radio button and click the OK button at the bottom of the panel.
6. Start the selected service by clicking the Start button in the Services panel.
3.23.2 Configuring a MySQL Database Server
An eG agent can monitor a MySQL database server and return performance metrics only when a
MySQL connector is available in the /lib directory (in Unix, this would be /opt/egurkha/lib
directory). To obtain this web connector, do the following:
1. Go to the URL: http://www.mysql.com/.
2. Click on the Downloads tab at the top of the page that appears (see Figure 3.309).
