IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Databases

IBM raises the bar for monitoring the leading databases with the addition of Sybase to our Tivoli® Monitoring for Databases solutions. By leveraging extensive research to identify common problems and weaknesses found in the databases we monitor, we have created a set of "problem signatures," a combination of metrics and thresholds that trigger Tivoli's identify, notify, and cure problem prevention mechanism. This technology allows IBM to provide a superior and robust management system.

IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Databases consists of five features (which are also known as Proactive Analysis Components) that are designed to help users ensure the availability and optimal performance of Oracle, IBM DB2®, MicrosoftT SQL Server, IBM InformixT servers, and most recently, Sybase. The use of these features can help to eliminate the typical Database Administrator (DBA) dilemma of determining what to monitor, when to monitor, and how to interpret and act upon the monitor results, leaving more time for the DBA to focus on more complex and less repetitive tasks. The primary objective is to provide routine, consistent monitoring and to anticipate and correct problems before database performance and customer confidence is degraded

All data captured by the monitors is delivered through an intuitive user interface and made available through historical and real-time reports. Each of the Proactive Analysis Components provides an "out-of-the-box" set of monitors (best practices) for quick deployment and activation. Custom monitors, thresholds, and tasks can also be defined, by the DBA, based on the best practices provided with the product.

With the availability of the new Sybase PAC, the IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Databases product now provides performance and availability monitoring for leading relational database management system software on the market today. The Sybase PAC leverages the IBM Tivoli Monitoring technology to provide intelligent monitoring (via resource models) of a Sybase ASE database/server (V12.5.0.3 or V12.5.1). It provides monitoring of key system status and resources as well as basic administrative tasks (start/stop server processes) that can be invoked automatically using IBM Tivoli Monitoring*, IBM Tivoli EnterpriseT Console*, or IBM Tivoli Business System Manager*. The PAC supports the endpoint, server-gateway architecture and major O/S platforms (UNIX®, LinuxT, and WindowsT) and integrates with IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console® for event management, IBM Tivoli Warehouse for historical reporting, the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Web Health Console for real-time status reporting, and IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager for a line-of-business view of component and resource health.

  • Provides monitors with pre-set thresholds and automatic corrective actions for DB2, Informix, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server databases
  • Enables users to manage multiple databases across different platforms from a central console with single product and a consistent architecture
  • Supports a central repository for historical and real-time reporting that enables trend analysis data to better plan and predict resource utilization
  • Easily integrates into an end-to-end management solution
