DB2 LUW database monitoring

[RSL101]

HI,

I am hoping to get your opinions about "Tivoli Monitoring for
Databases". Our enterprise environment is AIX/Red Hat Linux, running a
lot of IBM P series and E servers. We need to monitor LUW UDB
performance and some MS SQLSERVER performance going forward.

We are considering Tivoli monitoring because it offers a suite of
products pluggable as our company expands. There are: Tivoli monitors
for network (the new Netview) product, monitor for cluster, monitor
for web...in addition to monitor for databases. Tivoli can give you a
total performance perspective. But I am wondering does this argument
really matters.

Do you have favorable (or not) opinion about it over other 3rd party
tools like BMC,Quest or IBM's own OMEGAMON XE for distributed db ?

How easy is to setup,capture,save/analyze total performance even in
the historical sense, like you want to be able to compare performance
data before major upgrade and after major upgrade.

Your input is most welcome, especially if you have installed Tivoli
monitor in your organization.
Thank you.

Does anyone have experience or comments about using Tivoli Monitor for
Databases or the Tivoli framework in general ?

Thank you in advance.

I have work with spotlight (quest) to monitor a data warehouse
environment for db2, although is very graphic I feel like is not a
very accurate tool.
I can't tell you anything about Tivoli because I've never used it, but
in my opinion the best way to do this is through scripts calling db2
own monuitoring features.

Hope it elps a little
