Installing and Configuring Agents

Enabling the Foglight to monitor DB2 LUW instances requires the creation of the Foglight agents that monitor these instances. Ensure that these agents communicate properly with Foglight.

A wizard guides you through the process of configuring Foglight for DB2 LUW agents. You are prompted to specify connection details for the DB2 host, instances, and databases. As you go, you can validate log in credentials, database and instance connectivity, and host connectivity. You can correct issues by granting database permissions, setting monitoring switches, and configuring parameters.

1. On the Welcome page, click Monitor Databases or click Databases in the navigation pane. On a fresh installation, no instances are listed for DB2 in the Databases dashboard.
