IMA Overview
IMA provides an SQL-based interface to a set of user-registered tables accessing management information to allow the monitoring and managing of an installation.
IMA exposes for monitoring data that is currently reported through Ingres utilities such as:
Visual Manager
Visual Performance Monitor
Interactive Performance Monitor (ipm)
Lockstat
Logstat
iimonitor
Trace points
Through IMA, system management applications can be created that allow management operations to be performed against Ingres servers. These operations include:
Stopping DBMS and Star servers
Removing DBMS sessions
IMA-based management tools can monitor and control the local environment or a remote installation accessed through Ingres Net. By combining IMA with Ingres Net, local and multiple remote Ingres installations can be managed and monitored from a single point.
