Using Big Brother to monitor informix

[T.Paakki]

The big brother support page is pretty dead now adays...

Is anyone using Big Brother to perform Informix monitoring?

I'm looking for a way to have at a glance ideas of what's going on in
my 40 instances without having to use a bunch of email status reports.

I have tried the supplied informix script and after a long attempt at
customization for my environment, I just can't get it to feed back
valid data.

Thanks

We use BB, you are right the informix deadcat script is poor but it
should feed to BB without any problems. You can get a basic version
at [url]http://www.oninit.com/scripts/scripts.php?page=bb-informix[/url]

Assuming all the instances are on separate servers then drop
a copy on each box and create an 'Informix' group in the bb-hosts
file for BBDISPLAY server(s). If you have mulitple instances
on the same server you will need to tweak the environment on a
per instance basis.
