New JDBC Driver for IBM iSeries DB2 (AS400) and AIX

There is a DB2 driver currently included, however, this is the DB2 UDB driver for DB2 database running on Unix. The IBM iSeries and AIX platforms require a different driver, and it has been opensourced by IBM. I have included a link below. I manually tested it in a Logicmonitor datasource by downloading it to our lab collector by adding it into the wrapper.conf and it works great. However, we have to deploy it to about 40 environments, and I would prefer it not be a separate dependency.

If possible, I request that it be added to the standard collection of jdbc drivers.

    So... I just noticed in martinresources.logicmonitor.com that there is now a new JAR file in /logicmonitor/agent/lib ... called "jt400-full-6.0.jar". I tested a DB query with it... and it just hangs. I uploaded the jt400.jar that i identified in the request, updated the wrapper.conf file, and restarted the collector and was able to query successfully.

    So, if the jt400-full-6.0.jar was included based on my request, thank you very very much. However, unfortunately it doesn't seem to work with IBM DB2 on iSeries.

    FYI, the JAR that exists on the collectors now  jt400-full-6.0.jar  does work, and has been working. There was a problem with our datasource when I made the previous comment.

    Thanks again to the logicmonitor team.
