Creating Database Monitoring Requests
You can create monitor requests for each database that the database
server supports. What specific values you use depends on your system’s
configuration and available resources. For example, you may monitor
database server status or database status to reflect the health of your
system. The example values in Table 3-6 and Table 3-7 assume optimum
system conditions and represent sample monitor request values.
