Accessing IT Operational Analytics data

To access, analyze, and report IT Operational Analytics (ITOA) data, generate the SQL from ITOA virtual tables.

When you configure the Data Virtualization Manager server, you have the option to include pre-defined data maps that administrators can use to access the following types of ITOA data:

  • IBM System Management Facilities files (SMF)
  • Operations Log files (OPERLOG_SYSLOG)
  • System Log files (SYSLOG)

After you have configured the Data Virtualization Manager server to use ITOA pre-defined data maps, you can generate the SQL that is used to access ITOA data from the ITOA virtual tables.

For information about configuring access to operational analytics data with pre-defined data maps, see "Configuring access to SMF data for IT Operational Analytics" in the Installation and Customization Guide.
