Getting started with the Health Center

You can start the Health Center in the following ways:

vOn Windows systems, click Start and select Programs —> IBM DB2 —> [DB2 copy name]—> Monitoring Tools —> Health Center.

vSelect Health Center from the Tools menu of another tool.

vClick the Health Center icon from the toolbar of another tool.

vEnter the db2hc command.

vClick the health center status beacon when it appears on a DB2 window. On the Tools Settings window, you can configure this beacon to appear on every DB2 window whenever an alert occurs.

Use the Health Center to monitor the state of the database environment and make any necessary changes.

When you use DB2, a health monitor continuously monitors a set of health indicators. If the current value of a health indicator is outside the acceptable operating range defined by its warning and alarm thresholds, the health monitor generates a health alert. DB2 comes with a set of predefined threshold values, which you can later customize. For example, you can customize the alarm and warning thresholds for the amount of space used in a table space.
