Support for IMS and JVM monitoring agents, and other new function.

Support for more monitoring agents
  • IMS:
    • IBM OMEGAMON for IMS on z/OS, V5.5
  • Java Virtual Machine (JVM):
    • IBM Z OMEGAMON for JVM on z/OS, V5.5
OMEGAMON Data Broker
New warning messages report records lost due to the OMEGAMON Data Broker record queue limit being reached: KAYB0046W, KAYB0047W.
OMEGAMON Data Connect
Multiple TCP outputs
Previously, OMEGAMON Data Connect could send JSON Lines over TCP to only a single destination. To send to multiple TCP outputs, you had to run multiple instances of OMEGAMON Data Connect.

Now, a single instance of OMEGAMON Data Connect can send JSON Lines over TCP to multiple destinations.

Different filter for each output
Previously, you could specify only a global-level filter that applies to all JSON-format outputs: TCP, Kafka, and STDOUT.

Now, you can also specify a filter for each output. These are known as output-level filters. If you specify a filter at both levels, the output-level filter replaces the global-level filter.

The combination of multiple TCP outputs and output-level filters means, for example, that a single instance of OMEGAMON Data Connect can send one set of attributes over TCP to Splunk and a different set to the Elastic Stack.

Starter dashboards
The starter Elastic Kibana dashboards have moved to a new GitHub repository.
