Monitoring z/OS

In this topic, learn how to monitor your z/OS resources from the OMEGAMON user interfaces.

Using and customizing OMEGAMON for z/OS
Learn about the monitoring resources provided by OMEGAMON for z/OS and how to use them to meet your specific requirements.
Using the Inspect function
Inspect is a diagnostic tool whose primary purpose is to help you understand where, within an address space, code is spending its time. You can then use that information either to optimize the code, or to identify where within the code a program might be looping. You might use the Inspect function, for example, when a workspace or situation event shows an address space with high processor usage.
Using dynamic links to OMEGAMON for MVS
A Tivoli Enterprise Portal terminal view enables you to connect to any TN3270 host system with TCP/IP from inside a workspace. Terminal views also have scripting capability with record, playback, and authoring of entire scripts. If you associate a terminal view with a connection script and a query that returns appropriate values, you can configure a view that opens to a specific panel of a 3270 application. OMEGAMON for z/OS has taken advantage of this capability to create dynamic links from several existing workspaces to target workspaces that display related OMEGAMON® for MVS screens.
Monitoring scenarios
Use these scenarios to learn how you can use the workspaces, attributes, and situations provided with OMEGAMON for z/OS to monitor your z/OS® systems and Sysplexes.
