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.
