mon_act_metrics - Monitoring activity metrics configuration parameter

This parameter controls the collection of activity metrics on the entire database and affects activities submitted by connections associated with any DB2® workload definitions.

Parameter type
  • Configurable online
Note: If you modify mon_act_metrics online, only new connections use the updated value. Existing connections are not affected.
Default [range]
BASE [NONE, BASE, EXTENDED]
Upgrade Note
On databases created before V9.7 and then upgraded to V9.7 or higher, the mon_act_metrics parameter is set to NONE by default.
If you set this configuration parameter to BASE, all metrics reported through the following interfaces will be collected for all activities executed on the data server, regardless of the DB2 workload the connection that submitted the activity is associated with:
  • MON_GET_PKG_CACHE_STMT_DETAILS
  • MON_GET_ACTIVITY_DETAILS
  • MON_GET_PKG_CACHE_STMT
  • Package cache event monitor
  • Activity event monitor
If you set this configuration parameter to EXTENDED, the same metrics are collected as under the BASE setting. In addition, the values reported for the following monitor elements are determined with more granularity:
  • total_section_time
  • total_section_proc_time
  • total_routine_user_code_time
  • total_routine_user_code_proc_time
  • total_routine_time
For information about how the EXTENDED setting affects these monitor elements, refer to the detailed monitor element descriptions.

If you set this configuration parameter to NONE, the metrics reported through the previously listed interfaces are collected only for the subset of activities submitted by a connection that is associated with a DB2 workload whose COLLECT ACTIVITY METRICS clause has been set to BASE.
