Log monitors


The monitors listed in the following table measure logging activity.

Monitor

Title

View name

Description, Parameters, Warning

ARCDL

Read Accesses Delayed

DARCDL

Reports the number of read accesses delayed because of unavailable resources during the sampling period

Parameters: none

Warning

DS1040W (nn) hh:mm:ss ARC READ ACCESS DELAYED(TOTAL) = v IN x intrvl (>thrshld)

ARCRA

Archive Log Read Allocations

DARCRA

Reports the number of read archive logs allocated during a sampling interval

Read-archive logs are allocated when backout or recovery data requests cannot be satisfied from the log buffers or from the active log.

Parameters: none

Warning

DS0450W (nn) hh:mm:ss ARCHIVE LOG READ ALLOCS(TOTAL) = v IN x intrvl (>thrshld)

ARCTC

Tape Volume Contention Read Delays

DARCTC

Reports the number of read accesses delayed because of tape mount contention during the sampling period

Parameters: none

Warning

DS1030W (nn) hh:mm:ss ARC TAPE VOL CONTENTION(TOTAL) = v IN x intrvl (>thrshld)

ARCTM

Look-Ahead Tape Mounts

DARCTM

Reports the number of look-ahead tape mount requests that occurred during the sampling period

Parameters: [FAIL|SUCCESS]

Warning

DS1050W (nn) hh:mm:ss ARC LK-AHEAD TAPE MOUNT(TOTAL) = v IN x intrvl (>thrshld)

ARCWA

Archive Log Write Allocations

DARCWA

Reports the number of archive logs allocated as a result of an active log data set being archived during the sampling period

Parameters: none

Warning

DS0440W (nn) hh:mm:ss ARCHIVE LOG WRITE ALLOCS(TOTAL) = v IN x intrvl (>thrshld)

ARCWR

Archive Log CIs Written

DARCWR

Reports the number of control intervals (CIs) that are archived during the sampling period

Parameters: none

Warning

DS0460W (nn) hh:mm:ss ARCHIVE LOG CI WRITES(TOTAL) = v IN x intrvl (>thrshld)

BSDSA

BSDS Access Requests

DBSDSA

Reports the number of accesses to the Bootstrap Data Set (BSDS) during the sampling period

Parameters: none

Warning

DS0510W (nn) hh:mm:ss BSDS ACCESSES(TOTAL) = v IN x intrvl (>thrshld)

CHKPT

Number of Checkpoints

DCHKPT

Reports the number of DB2 checkpoints taken during the sampling interval

Parameters: none

Warning

DS0520W (nn) hh:mm:ss NUMBER OF CHECKPOINTS(TOTAL) = v IN x intrvl (>thrshld)

CKPFR

Checkpoint Frequency

DCKPFR

Reports the number of DB2 checkpoints taken during the sampling interval

The purpose of this monitor is to report that fewer than the specified number of checkpoints have occurred in the specified time interval.

Suggested values to start this monitor are as follows:

  • An interval of 20 minutes
  • A value of less than 1

For example: INTERVAL=20:00 WVAL=<1

In this example, the message will be issued if no checkpoints occur in a twenty-minute interval.

Parameters: none

Warning

DS1580W (nn) hh:mm:ss CHECKPOINT FREQUENCY(TOTAL) = v IN x intrvl (<thrshld)

LOGRD

Log Reads for Backout/Recovery

DLOGRD

Reports the number of log reads for backout or recovery during the sampling period

The number is the sum of log reads satisfied from active log buffers, log data sets, archive logs, or from other sources.

Parameters: [BUFFER|ACTIVE|ARCHIVE]

Warning

DS0500W (nn) hh:mm:ss MAX LOB STORAGE(parm) = v IN x intrvl (>thrshld)

LOGUT

Active Log Percent Utilization

DLOGUT

Reports the percentage of log CIs in use during the sampling interval

Parameters: none

Warning

DS0490W (nn) hh:mm:ss ACTIVE LOG % UTILIZATION(TOTAL) = v (>thrshld)

LOGWR

Log Write Requests

DLOGWR

Reports the number of log write requests during the sampling interval

The reported number of log write requests can be selected as FORCE, NOWAIT, or the total of all requests.

Parameters: [FORCE|NOWAIT]

Warning

DS0480W (nn) hh:mm:ss LOG WRITE REQUESTS(parm) = v IN x intrvl (>thrshld)

LOGWT

Log Buffer Waits

DLOGWT

Reports the number of log request waits because log buffers were unavailable during the sampling period

Parameters: none

Warning

DS0470W (nn) hh:mm:ss LOG BUFFER WAITS(TOTAL) = v IN x intrvl (>thrshld)
