Ah, no. Just set it up on my Informix training.

Nope.

If we could fit it into a 2 day performance tuning course as an
afterthought, well, yes. :-)

No idea. I don't see any problem with that, as long as you have X-windows
running on all the machines you want to monitor.
What _was_ nice that it looked like you could track any
parameter/environment element and set multiple alarms, with each one causing
different actions, etc.

As far as I know, it is a part of the 7.1x release.
The tricky thing is, you have to have an X-station set up. That's the effort
- there's not much effort in clicking on what you want to track... :-)
Frankly, considering the potential of OnCockpit/OnPerf, I don't know why
Informix aren't making a bloody great song and dance about it! Could someone
from Informix please tell me if I've missed the pot completely here?
Hasta la vista!
