DB2 connector (in progress)

Purpose

  • With the DB2 connector, you can connect to an DB2 database via a JDBC driver.
  • The database will then be monitored by querying information from the database with SQL requests
  • To create connector, there are two steps:
    • Create a user in the database and register it in Redpeaks
    • Create and set connector parameters

Drivers

The driver db2jcc4 can be download on Maven repository : https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.ibm.db2.jcc/db2jcc/db2jcc4

Create user profile

  • User profiles can be created via the Configure menu
  • Once created, the user profile can be selected in the connector form
  • Note: A user profile is by default associated with a company . You can explicitly set a profile to be cross companies. The effect is that it will be selectable from connectors of any companies.
  • The corresponding user must be created in the database as well.

Create connector

  • Select the system in the Systems tree and select “Add connector” in its contextual menu, choose DB2 type.
  • Fill in the connector parameters:
    • Title The display name of the connector
    • Host: The hostname or IP address of the database host
    • Port: The port of the database service
      • If on Db2 Version 11.5.5 and older, the default port number is 50000.
      • If on Db2 Version 11.5.6 and newer, the default port number is 25000
    • Database name: The database to connect to
    • User: The user profile to use for the connection
    • Properties: Optional properties to add to the connection parameters (separated with semicolon (;)

Press Save & Test to save the profile and check the connection is working

SSH

  • In case you must connect to a database through an SSH tunnel, you can enable the SSH option and fill in the parameter:
    • Host: The host where the entrance of the tunnel is created.
    • Port: The local port of the SSH tunnel
    • User: The user to authenticate on the SSH end point.

Custom timeout

The DB2 monitors will need to peform SELECT queries on the below tables:
