Issue/Introduction
My UIM DB2 probe generates unexpected alarms such as:
"database <databse_name> at instance <darabase_instanc> is offline ([IBM][CLI Driver] SQL30081N A communication error has been detected. Communication protocol being used: "TCP/IP". Communication API being used: "SOCKETS"
SQL30081N A communication error has been detected
Cause
SQL30081N error determines in most of the cases a network issue.
Please engage your network team to investigate if there is any intermittent communication issues between the monitoring probe and the monitored DB

If at the time the probe generated the alarm you confirm there isn't any communication issue, then it might be that the probe generates this error due to the target DB not being able to respond within the default timeouts configured in the probe.
