Monitoring tools in practice
Real-time monitors such as IBM OMEGAMON, BMC AMI Ops and Broadcom SYSVIEW: what they show, the measurements that matter on z/OS, CICS, Db2 and MQ, and how to turn an alert into the right action.
What you will be able to do
- Explain what a real-time monitor adds to SMF and RMF, and how drill-down works
- Read the key measurements for z/OS, CICS, Db2 and MQ and know what normal looks like
- Design alerts people act on, and follow an alert through to a fix
Lessons
- What real-time monitors doSMF and RMF record what happened; a real-time monitor shows what is happening now.
- The measurements that matterEach layer has a few measurements that tell you most of what you need: for z/OS, CPU, workload goals, storage and contention; for CICS, response time, task limits and storage;…
- Alerts that people act onAn alert is only useful if someone acts on it. Good alerts fire on conditions that matter, persist long enough to be real, go to the team that owns them, and come with a run book.
