Returns a description for the specified health indicator. A Health Indicator measures the healthiness of a particular state, capacity, or behavior of the database system. The state defines whether or not the database object or resource is operating normally.
None
Instance. If there is no instance attachment, a default instance attachment is created.
To obtain a snapshot of a remote instance, it is necessary to first attach to that instance.

DESCRIPTION FOR db2.sort_privmem_util
Sorting is considered healthy if there is sufficient heap space in which to
perform sorting and sorts do not overflow unnecessarily. This indicator
tracks the utilization of the private sort memory. If db2.sort_heap_allocated
(system monitor data element) >= SHEAPTHRES (DBM configuration parameter), sorts
may not be getting full sort heap as defined by the SORTHEAP parameter and an
alert may be generated. The indicator is calculated using the formula:
(db2.sort_heap_allocated / SHEAPTHRES) * 100. The Post Threshold Sorts snapshot
monitor element measures the number of sorts that have requested heaps after the
sort heap threshold has been exceeded. The value of this indicator, shown in the
Additional Details, indicates the degree of severity of the problem for this
health indicator. The Maximum Private Sort Memory Used snapshot monitor element
maintains a private sort memory high-water mark for the instance. The value of
this indicator, shown in the Additional Information, indicates the maximum amount
of private sort memory that has been in use at any one point in time since the
instance was last recycled. This value can be used to help determine an
appropriate value for SHEAPTHRES.
