Now that we have reviewed each command line option individually, I will use today’s post to put together a set of links of everything we covered:
- -d : Database name
- -n : Node name
- -u : User name
- -p : User password
- -V : Default explain schema
- -i : Interval in seconds between snapshots
- -b : background mode
- -a : Monitor only active objects
- -B : enable bold
- -R : Reset snapshot at start up
- -k : Display accumulated counters
- -x : Extended display
- -P : Partition snapshot (number or current)
- -f : Replay monitoring session from snapshot data collector file
- -C : Run db2top in snapshot data collector mode
The next post will cover the .db2toprc file.

Thank you so very much for your blogs! and I learned from all of them.
Thanks for your info! Question: Does db2top come w/ a base install or is it part of a option on the install?
It comes with the base install. I tried a download of Express-C 9.7.1 on Ubuntu last week, opened up a terminal from my db2inst1 account and I was able to run db2top right away.
