Abstract
The present invention discloses a method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for monitoring performance of a parallel database in a computer. In accordance with the present invention, the parallel database is stored on a data storage device in the computer. Groups of database nodes are identified. Collection time periods for collecting performance statistics from the identified group of database nodes are determined. Performance statistics are periodically collected from a subset of each identified group of nodes during the collection time periods. The collected performance statistics are stored in a memory connected to the computer and re-used when collecting performance statistics from one or more groups of database nodes in a succeeding collection time period.
