IBM Tivoli® OMEGAMON® XE on z/VM® and Linux® is a monitoring agent that provides the ability to view data that is collected from multiple systems on one easy-to-use, flexible interface. It is a part of the OMEGAMON family of software products.
IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON XE on z/VM and Linux enables you to view z/VM data pulled from the Performance Toolkit for VM alongside views of Linux on IBM Z® systems performance data. This multiple view capability helps you solve problems more quickly and manage complex environments more effectively.
Summary of features and enhancements for OMEGAMON XE on z/VM and Linux
View Linux operations data side by side with detailed performance metrics from other important systems to understand and resolve issues quickly.
Use data from the Performance Toolkit for z/VM (a prerequisite for this product) with data collected by the IBM Tivoli Monitoring agent for Linux on Z systems to evaluate system performance.
Navigate more easily between Tivoli Enterprise Portal workspaces by using Dynamic Workspace Linking.
View and monitor workloads for virtual machines, groups and LPARs and view reports on z/VM and Linux resource usage, such as CPU utilization, storage, mini-disks and TCP/IP.
Help your stakeholders understand how systems performance influences the business and the bottom line.
Use granular views to more easily track complex problems that span multiple applications, platforms and systems and share related information.
Use the Workload workspace to monitor high CPU utilization by the Control Program as well to find out which z/VM workloads are consuming the most resources.
If your paging disks have poor response times, you can check whether some of the I/O load has been caused by minidisks with a high activity on the same disk pack.
OMEGAMON XE on z/VM and Linux provides information about the overall utilization of resources by the logical partitions (LPARs) defined for your system.
