Edit online

The following topics describe recent updates to the component products in IBM Z Monitoring Suite 2.3

Nov 2025

IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for Db2 6.1
OMEGAMON AI for Db2 introduces several enhancements to help monitor and optimize Db2 performance more efficiently.
  • AI-driven anomaly detection: New AI capabilities use Aggregated Accounting Statistics (IFCID 369) to identify performance anomalies at the connection-type level.
  • Improved resource efficiency: Updates to 3270 thread history and Classic 3270 near-term history data collection now use 64-bit memory structures and enhanced data compression. These improvements help reduce CPU usage and support potential TCO savings.
  • Expanded OMEGAMON Data Provider support: Batch Reporter data can now be streamed using the OMEGAMON Data Provider. This enables advanced aggregation and filtering and supports correlation with other subsystem data.
  • Batch 2.0 enhancements: A redesigned batch reporting process reduces resource consumption by leveraging IBM Z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP) engines. The initial release supports a limited set of reports, with additional report sets planned for future updates.
Tivoli Management Services on z/OS 6.4:
Two new components - IBM Z OMEGAMON Web UI 2.1 and Grafana are included in Tivoli Management Services on z/OS 6.4. The latest release of OMEGAMON AI Insights version 2.2 is also included.

IBM Z OMEGAMON Web UI 2.1

OMEGAMON Web UI 2.1 is a new, browser-based interface for monitoring performance data from the OMEGAMON monitoring agents. The Web UI provides real-time and historical data analysis using Grafana. The key capabilities include:

  • Web-based monitoring: Access OMEGAMON performance data from any supported web browser.
  • Integrated architecture: OMEGAMON Gateway enables communication between TEMS and Grafana.
  • Admin UI: Simplifies configuration and automation of monitored environments.
  • OMEGAMON Data Requester: Retrieves and filters real-time and historical data.
  • Customizable dashboards: Design and share personalized views tailored to specific monitoring needs.

IBM Z OMEGAMON AI Insights 2.2

OMEGAMON AI Insights integrates advanced machine learning capabilities to detect and visualize performance anomalies in z/OS components and applications. OMEGAMON AI Insights analyzes data collected from OMEGAMON AI monitoring agents for IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for Db2 6.1, IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for CICS 6.1, OMEGAMON AI for JVM 6.1, IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for Networks 6.1, and IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for z/OS 6.1.

The application builds predictive models to identify seasonal trends in key performance indicators. Models begin generating predictions upon installation and improve over time. Predicted anomalies and live data are displayed in Grafana dashboards, enabling quick detection and troubleshooting.OMEGAMON AI Insights is containerized and can be deployed on Docker for Linux on Z (s390x) or Linux (amd64).

Grafana OSS base installation package

Grafana OSS Edition 12.1.1 installation package is available as an ISO image.
IBM Z Automation Web Console 1.2.0.

IBM Service Management Unite is renamed to IBM Z Automation Web Console, emphasizing the focus on the web user interface for Z NetView and Z System Automation. The software program and documentation are modified accordingly.

Note: The available features and dashboards remain unchanged.
IBM Z ChatOps 1.1.5
MS Teams Workflow integration with dynamic channel routing: The MS Teams Workflow integration supports enhanced capabilities that enable dynamic channel routing. Earlier, without dynamic routing, all messages were routed to a single channel and required manual review and message assignment to the appropriate team. With the enablement of dynamic channel routing, you can distribute messages to multiple Teams and Channels based on unique IDs or Names.
Support for NodeJS HTTP_PROXY when customers are behind a network firewall: If your network is firewall-protected, you can now configure HTTP proxy settings directly in Z ChatOps.
IBM Z Resource Discovery Data Service
  • Container splitting with improved customer support for future patches, fixes, and upgrades.
  • Delta mode feature for highlighting changes since the last collection.
  • 'Mark for deletion' feature for scheduling the removal of data.
  • New API 'get' data (get Job Names, get CI count).
  • Deduplication of the data sent to Kafka.
  • Ability to link JCL Jobs to Sysplex and z/OS.
  • IBM Z Discovery for ServiceNow app simplification to customizations.
  • Security and vulnerability fixes.
