Hi Ricardo I have used ISA or ISPY you might want to check it out also. Both come with the Online Server. I worked with BMC a little and is both GUI output and performance monitoring. You will not go wrong with this product. I have saved some emails for future reference for my self, I thought I pass it on. I saved this email from Fred http://www-3.ibm.com/software/data/informix/tools/isa/: IBM InformixR Server Administrator (ISA) is a browser-based, cross-platform database server administration tool. ISA provides an easy-to-use interface for the IBM Informix Dynamic ServerT command line, thus eliminating the need to memorize commands and options. - Provides the power of the command-line tools - Presents output as HTML pages - Provides simple HTML forms for gathering information - Connects related information using hyperlinks to allow rapid and easy drill down to information - Eliminates the requirement for client-side installation - Provides hooks for easy DBA customization - Integrates with other IBM Informix products (I-SpyT and MaxConnectT) - Monitors multiple servers residing on different machines from a single Web page - Informix Server Administrator (ISA) runs on Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT. Hoping this helps. Fred Hubbard IIUG Managing Director This other email is from Chuck Renaud. > Anyone know of any good alternatives to iSpy?

Just a glorified packet sniffer, but it does work well. Hello, take a look at sqlidebug and sqliprint.
