IBX is a set of Interbase Components for Delphi.

I believe the monitoring components were developed after the IB 6 Open
Source venture where Firebird began, so it is not a feature currently
supported by Firebird. Backing this theory up is the fact that such
functionality appears in the 2006 Firebird Roadmap as Medium priority
in Design Phase.

Also, just so you know be very careful of the trace flags in IBX. They
force your application to process its message queue between each step.
It took me about 2 days to figure out why my secondary thread in a
multi-threaded application 'froze' (ie stopped getting data) when I
slept the main thread.
