Session title: Help! I’m overwhelmed with all these metrics in my Db2 monitor
Session abstract: You want to improve Db2 performance, but what do I look for? There are many different monitors and tools hundreds of screens and over 1500 of metrics. It can be overwhelming, especially if you are not familiar with the application or new to Db2 or the mainframe.
This presentation will cover:

- How do you detect they are happening
- What can you do to prevent them
- Use what-if predictive analysis to see what effects a change might have before actually making the change
