No other DB2 database monitoring tool has the power to accelerate problem resolution like Foglight® for DB2. It provides constant remote database monitoring and correlates performance data from across your technology stack. It guides you through response time and wait event analyses, so you instantly understand existing and developing database performance conditions. Plus, our IntelliProfile™ technology ensures a thriving post-change database environment to help eliminate deployment risks. Foglight for DB2 empowers you to take action immediately and maximize your DB2 database resources.
