Hello Cintia,

I meant the "Db2 Intelligence Center integration with Splunk" link on the page above is dead, not the link above itself.
Its address is as follows, and I get "Page Not Found" with all my browsers.

Hello Mark,

I create an internal git issue requesting development team to review it.

I will let you know.

BTW, the link seems to be pointing to the old location of the IBM Community.

The IBM Community links have changed recently.  I check the DMC manual and it has the same issue.

Here is the new link:

https://community.ibm.com/community/user/blogs/jason-sizto/2021/08/06/analyze-db2-monitor-data-management-console-splunk

I hope that helps!

Hi Cintia!

Perhaps it is my stupid error - but each time I click Monitor in DIC - I am getting message: Error:check network connection...

Hello Jan,

In the old DMC, we did have something similar:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/db2-data-mgr-console/3.1.x?topic=console-limitations-known-issues

Not sure if this is the same issue.

Questions:

1.) Are you using DIC on the same machine as DMC?

2.) Is this happening for all databases or a specific database?

3.) Can you connect to the database from the DIC machine using: db2 connect to <monitored_database> user <userid> command?

You might want to check the monitor log files to see if there is any error related to connectivity issues.

I hope that helps!

Hi Cintia

I'm trying to download and install on a Windows laptop. The process hung with the "Starting the server" message below (I left it running overnight and there was no progress)

I've restarted it this morning and noticed this error, which I didn't see before

it looks as if it is trying to create a log file using a Unix format address.

Any pointers on how to circumvent this?

Regards

Classical support answer: It works for me ...

Which version of DIC you have :-)

Mine is:

I did run installer from administrator account - and apart from small adventure witz uBlock filters it works fine.

My %TEMP% environment variable points to C:\Temp

Hi Jan,

You stole my initial message....    LOL

Mark, 

Did you run the setup script using an Administrator CLP or from Windows Explorer, did you "Run as Administrator"?

You might want to check the setup.log file to see if there is any additional error messages.

Hello Mark,

I also forgot to mention, make sure that you are using a supported Windows environment.

Here is the link for the DIC system requirements:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/dic?topic=center-system-requirements

As you can see, Windows 10 and Windows 2019 supported by DMC, is not supported by DIC anymore.
