We are looking for a profile that can monitor both active and inactive connections (CONDBAT). This profile exists and it is MONITOR CONNECTIONS, but it only allows LOCATION as a filtering option. We would like to request AUTHID be added as a filter option. This is needed as we have some Application Developers that do not close their connection when done reading DB2 on z/OS data from a distributed application. They continue to create new active threads while they unused threads go inactive. Eventually the application will consume all available connections allowed (CONDBAT) for a DB2 subsystem (or datasharing group) causing outages to other more well behaved applications. LOCATION as a filter does not work for us for distributed applications that reside on a Kubernetes POD.

Profile monitoring - be able to limit the numbers of users accessing DB2 through DDF by setting up limits by AUTHID.
