The Health Monitor runs by default on the instance you are setting up. The Health Monitor watches all DB2® related data within the instance. The Health Monitor automatically tracks performance in the database environment. When a health indicator is breached, at either alarm or warning level, an alert can be sent to a predefined contact. You can use the Health Center or the Command Line Processor (CLP) to view Health Monitor data.
The default contact information is stored in the Health Monitor configuration. After setting up the instance, you can change this setting using the Health Center or the CLP. The Health Monitor notification function requires a default contact for each instance to send alerts to.
Specify the contact information for this instance:
The Name identifies the contact that receives Health Center notification.
The E-mail address field must be a valid e-mail address, such as name@domain.com, and is used to send alert information to the contact. Select E-mail address is for a pager device if the text you are e-mailing is to be formatted for a pager device.
