Chapter 4 – Monitoring the health of your databases 157<br />

5. Lower the values <strong>for</strong> Warning threshold to1, and Critical threshold to5.<br />

6. Click OK.<br />

Connect to the monitored database from the <strong>DB2</strong> command line, or from the <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Studio</strong><br />

client, and leave the connections active. Once the monitoring refresh occurs on the Health<br />

Summary page, you should see the Connections status change from No Alerts to either<br />

Critical (red) or Warning (yellow), depending on how many connections are currently active<br />

on that database.<br />

If you close the connections to below the threshold value, this should close the alerts. Note<br />

that the critical or warning summary icon would still be present to indicate that there had<br />

been problems in that selected duration, but that these alerts now have an end time. This is<br />

unlike the Status summary icon <strong>with</strong> the <strong>Data</strong> Server Status alert category.<br />

Remember to reset this alert parameter (or disable the alert) to whatever is appropriate <strong>for</strong><br />

your database when you finish <strong>with</strong> this exercise<br />
