With the infx dashboards, you can execute any infx service, as well as access detailed statistics and information about each Informix instance.
In order to provide a comprehensive view, information from different onstat options and sysmaster queries is brought together into a single screen.
onstat
The onstat utility is the preferred source for instance information and statistics. This utility is available in most of the modes that the instance might get itself into.
For example:
- Backup & recovery dashboard can track the progress of a cold restore using onstat -d and onstat -D output
- Instance dashboard can track the database session who's roll back is preventing the database from starting up or shutting down.
You don't need to install a web server on every host that has Informix instances. The CGI interface can execute the infx services on remote hosts, meaning you only need to set up the web server software once.
