Introducing IBM Z OMEGAMON Data Provider

IBM Z OMEGAMON® Data Provider makes OMEGAMON attributes available to applications and analytics platforms outside of OMEGAMON. By integration with IBM Z OMEGAMON Data Porivder, Instana can ingest attributes from OMEGAMON Data Provider and then get key infrastructure monitoring metrics for z/OS, CICS, and Db2 on z/OS by use of the proxy sensor.

To integrate Instana with IBM Z OMEGAMON Data Provider, you need to do the following actions:

• Configure the OMEGAMON Data Connect component of OMEGAMON Data Provider to send attributes as JSON Lines over TCP. You can also configure OMEGAMON Data Provider to send just the attributes that Instana specifically supports. For more information, see IBM Z OMEGAMON Data Provider Documentation.
• Deploy and configure IBM OMEGAMON Instana Integration Proxy to activate OMEGAMON support in Instana. For more information, see Integrating with IBM OMEGAMON.

Note: You must have OMEGAMON products entitlement if you want to use IBM OMEGAMON Instana Integration Proxy.
