Summary of changes in 6.3.0
This topic describes the recent updates to the component products in IBM Z® Integration for Observability 6.3.0.
- IBM Z Automation Web Console 1.2 (previously Service Management Unite)
- 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.
- IBM Z® ChatOps 1.1.5
- MS Teams Workflow now support dynamic channel routing, allowing messages to be automatically directed to the right Teams/Channels based on IDs or names instead of one default channel. Additionally, NodeJS HTTP proxy support has been added in Z ChatOps, enabling configuration for networks behind firewalls.
- IBM Tivoli® Management Services for z/OS® 6.4
-
IBM Tivoli Management Services for z/OS 6.4 introduces:
- IBM Z OMEGAMON Web UI 2.1: 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: 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 edition 12.1.1: Grafana OSS Edition 12.1.1 installation package is available as an ISO image.
- IBM Z OMEGAMON Web UI 2.1: 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:
- IBM Z Resource Discovery Data Service 1.4
- The updates bring several enhancements to scripts and processes such as:
- Supports reprocessing of the identical IdML book file in case of Kafka retrieval failure or other failures.
- Streamlines and simplifies the installation and configuration process for the Discovery Agent.
- Enhancements to the getCICount.sh script to retrieve the specified ServiceNow CI table data count instead of the count of all the table data.
- Enhancements to the getJobName.sh script to retrieve all JCL job names from the database by using a custom pattern (%) filter.
- Allows customization of the ZAGETJOB output format by specifying a prefix and a maximum character limit in the configuration file (CONFIG.YML).
- Enables default detection of relationships for JCL jobs.
- Disables expiration detection for sysplex and data sharing groups.
- Improved performance of the
DetectExpiredDLAItems.shscript, which identifies expired configuration items for deletion.
