OneDB ExploreOneDB Explore is a modern web console for visualizing, monitoring, and managing your Informix server instances. It is purpose built for ease-of-use, scaling out, and optimizing DevOps needs. It provides critical performance management capabilities, monitoring how key performance metrics are changing over time and tracking how efficiently OneDB is running your workload even when you’ve stepped away from your screen. Its monitoring system feeds directly into a customizable alerting system so you can be immediately alerted via email, Twilio, or PagerDuty whenever an issue occurs on one of your Informix database server instances. OneDB Explore is designed to be scalable to efficiently manage and monitor as many Informix database server instances as you need. Moreover, it's a tool that can be shared by the DBAs, the app developers, the ops engineers, and management and accessed from any desktop, laptop, or mobile device. OneDB Explore is the centralized hub for graphical monitoring, alerting, and administration of your Informix database servers.

Configuring Monitoring

Configuring Monitoring

After clicking on a server or group from the dashboard, you can use the Monitoring link on the left-hand sidebar menu to configure the monitoring profile for that server or group. The Monitoring page lists the sensors currently configured in the server or group's monitoring profile.

Clicking the Add Sensors button will open a pop-up displaying the list of sensors not yet configured for this server or group. You can add custom sensors to this list from the Sensor Management page.

Click the Edit (pencil) icon to modify the run interval or data retention interval.

For servers or groups that inherit sensors from parent groups, there will also be a list of Inherited Sensors. The buttons next to the inherited sensors allow you to disable or override properties of the inherited sensors.
