Session title: Db2 Historical Monitoring

Session abstract: Introducing db2histmon, the newest addition to the family of problem determination tools. This lightweight technology allows you to collect historical data on your database, helping especially with performance or workload problem root cause analysis even for past occurrences, greatly reducing the need to recreate the problem with additional trace techniques enabled. 

This presentation contains all the information to get you started. Starting with a brief description of what the technology is or is not, setup, monitoring, data retention strategies, and finally data analysis. Best of all, this tool is open source, your contributions are very welcome!
