Viewing system status
- If you select Db2 Data Sharing Group, a tab is displayed for each Db2 data sharing group. Within each tab, the top row represents the Db2 data sharing group and each subsequent row represents a Db2 subsystem within the Db2 data sharing group. The Db2 data sharing group name and each Db2 subsystem name are highlighted with the color that represents its overall status. If the status is unstable, the Db2 subsystem or Db2 data sharing group is marked with an ongoing event
icon.
- If you select Sysplex, a tab is displayed for each Sysplex. Within each tab, each row represents an LPAR in the Sysplex. Each LPAR name is highlighted with the color that represents its overall status. If the status is unstable, the LPAR is marked with an ongoing event
icon.
If the status is unstable, the Db2 subsystem or Db2 data sharing group is marked with an ongoing event icon, or the LPAR is marked with
icon. Click on the icon to get the following details:
In the System Status, if a Db2 subsystem, a Db2 data sharing group, or an LPAR is marked with, it means it is not streaming.
- No scoring done for this Db2—Indicates that Db2, LPAR, or Datastream is either down or the scoring is not done.
- Last Ingest Time—Indicates that the scoring was done till a point of time and then stopped. The last ingest time is displayed on the status.
The Db2 subsystems or LPARs, and their KPI groups are listed with their status represented by colored icons with numbers, as listed on the Legend on the right side of the screen. The number indicates how long (in minutes) the KPI group has been in a status other than stable or the normalized score for the KPI Group.
If there is a Limit Breach, the icons for those KPI Groups are marked with an exclamation point even if they are within normal parameters.
If a Db2 subsystem restart is detected, affected KPI Groups are marked with a Restart icon.
To change the display
To select which values to display in the icons, click Display and select one of the following options:
- Elapsed Time—numbers in the icons reflect the number of minutes since the KPI Groups became unstable
- Current Z-Score—numbers in the icons reflect the current Z-score for the KPI Groups
The icon for the Display button changes based on your selection. If you select Elapsed Time, it shows . If you select Current Z-Score, it shows
.
To view the details for a KPI group
You can click an icon of an anomalous KPI Group to see details about its status:
To export data for a data sharing group
You can export the raw data for a Db2 data sharing group, Db2subsystem, or LPAR to a CSV file. The file includes KPI Group scores and Exception scores.
To export the raw data, follow these steps:
- Click Export.
- Select the Db2 data sharing group, Db2 subsystem, or LPAR.
- Click Download.
The CSV file is downloaded to your browser.
To view events on timeline
The Timeline screen displays a timeline for the selected Db2 data sharing group and all of its Db2 subsystems, or for the selected Sysplex and all of its LPARs.
To change the timeline from Db2 data sharing groups to Sysplexes, click the selection arrow next to Db2 Data Sharing Group and select Sysplex from the dropdown.
Events and Exceptions are indicated as follows:
- Orange shading indicates an ongoing event.
- Grey shading indicates a closed event.
- A red dot indicates an Exception.
A gray flag on the Db2 or LPAR timeline indicates the last ingestion time and the time when it stopped streaming.
Click on an event to see the following details:
Click the name of an LPAR, Db2 data sharing group, or Db2 subsystem, or click on the event within the timeline to see more details.
The detailed timeline displays a timeline for all Categories and their performance for the selected item. Any time a KPI Group within a Category was in an anomaly state, it's indicated by an orange marker on the timeline. You can view the details on a timeline or in the graph view.
Timeline
The following table describes the actions that you can perform on the timeline:
Item | Description |
---|---|
1 | Click Expand all Click Collapse all Click Customize view Click Filter - z/OS WLM Importance |
2 | Use the arrow buttons to navigate along the timeline. The single arrow (< or >) moves one hour. The double arrow (<< or >>) moves four hours. |
3 | Events are indicated by shaded areas in the Events row. Click a shaded area Click the Event ID at the top of the Event Log to see the event details on the Active Events screen. Click a timestamp to see detailed information for that time. |
4 | If any Exceptions occurred in the selected Db2 subsystem, they are listed in the Exception area.
Hover over an Exception to see the Exception details. |
5 | Click a Category name to expand it and see individual graphs for all of the KPI Groups in that category. The green area of the graph represents the normal range. The yellow and red areas of the graph represent anomaly values (values outside the normal range). Hover over the timeline to see what the Z-Scores were for the KPI Groups at any given time. If a KPI Group has a Limit Breach, the timeline is shaded darker for that KPI Group during the breach. |
Graph View
To see graphs for all KPI Groups, click Switch to Graph View. The time period displayed on the graphs is the time period you were viewing on the timeline.
Graph view displays individual graphs per KPI Group for all KPI Groups at the selected time, with a breakdown to the individual KPIs.
To see KPI values on a graph for a specific time, hover over the graph.
To see a graph for a single KPI, click the KPI name below the graph. To see a graph for multiple KPIs within a KPI Group, press Ctrl or Shift to select multiple KPI Groups.
To zoom in on a smaller time range, drag your cursor across one of the graphs to select the range. All of the graphs zoom in on the time range you selected.
To see an expanded view of a single graph, click in the right corner of the graph and select View.
A more detailed view of the graph is displayed.
To return to the view of all of the KPI Group graphs, press Esc.
To return to Timeline, click Switch to Timeline.
For z/OS events, the graphs include a filter for WLM importance levels.
By default, only IMP0, IMP1, and IMP2 WLM levels are shown. Click the IMP0 + IMP1 + IMP2 button, to open the filter and select the WLM levels you want to see.
