This parameter allows you to specify whether you want to monitor an instance, its associated databases, and database objects according to various health indicators.
You cannot use this parameter in DB2® pureScale® environments.
If health_mon is turned on, an agent will collect information about the health of the objects you have selected. If an object is considered to be in an unhealthy position, based on thresholds that you have set, notifications can be sent, and actions can be taken automatically. If health_mon is turned off, the health of objects will not be monitored.
You can use the CLP to select the instance and database objects that you want to monitor. You can also specify where notifications should be sent, and what actions should be taken, based on the data collected by the health monitor.
