The Monitoring functions available in the Tivoli Storage Resource Manager for Databases function tree enable you to run regularly scheduled or ad-hoc data collection jobs. These jobs gather statistics about RDBMS storage assets and their usage within your enterprise.
The data collection jobs you can run are:
Asset Collection - Probe Jobs. Use Probe jobs to collect detailed statistics about the files and objects that make up your enterprise's monitored RDBMSs.
Usage Monitoring - Scan Jobs. Collect statistics about the usage and trending of your actual storage consumption within an RDBMS. Scan jobs perform the majority of the work for Tivoli Storage Resource Manager by providing all the data for usage reporting, as well as for Quota analysis.
Simplified Object Selection and Object Management - Groups. Create named groups that represent a set of objects that you define, such as computers, databases, tablespaces, tables, and users.
Groups enable you to define a set of related objects one time and save these selections as a named group for future use in Probes and Scans, or other entities within Tivoli Storage Resource Manager. When you update the objects within a group, those updates are automatically picked up by the jobs that reference that group.
You can select the following sub nodes within the Monitoring node:
