Importing OMEGAMON XE Monitoring Agent on z/OS® log files to the Log Analyzer

To import an OMEGAMON® XE Monitoring Agent log file (such as the RKLVLOG) into the Log Analyzer, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Copy the relevant log files from the IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring component servers to the system where you installed the IBM Support Assistant workbench. Put the log files for each server in a unique directory (for example, c:\ITM\logs\serverXXX).
  2. Import the OMEGAMON log files. The Log Analyzer organizes related log files into log sets. Log sets can be used to import and analyze a set of related log files. This facility is used to organize and import your OMEGAMON log files. Log set definitions provide information to the Log Analyzer specifying where log and trace data reside and what kind of data to gather from local and remote systems. The Log Analyzer allows you to import predefined log sets that contain the necessary path information required for retrieving log files on demand.
  3. Use one of the procedures described in the following sections, depending on whether you are creating a new log set or editing an existing log set.

Results

Note: You can create and reuse as many log sets as you need. For example, when importing log files from multiple servers, you need more than one log set.
