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.
HCL OneDB™ Explore Agent

HCL OneDB Explore Agent

The HCL OneDB™ Explore agent is a lightweight Java 8 based monitoring agent. It should be installed on the host machine for each Informix database server that you want monitored by HCL OneDB Explore.

The agent runs alongside the database server, gathering database statistics through JDBC connections to sysmaster. The HCL OneDB Explore agent only needs read access to the database server.

By running the agent directly on the Informix server host machine, the agent is also able to gather and monitor OS statistics which can be just as critical in evaluating and tuning the Informix database server performance metrics.
