zERT Summary record (subtype 12)

zERT summary records function as both interval and event records for the z/OS® Encryption Readiness Technology (zERT) aggregation function.

As interval records, the zERT summary records are generated at user specified intervals. The record provides statistical data about an individual security session that provided cryptographic protection for one or more TCP or Enterprise Extender (EE) connections during the previous recording interval. The record also provides information describing the cryptographic characteristics of the security session.

Each record reports statistical data about the security session for the previous recording interval. The starting and ending values for the previous recording interval are reported for each statistic.

If zERT aggregation is turned off dynamically or the TCP stack terminates, a final complete set of subtype 12 records is generated to report close out data. These records are reported to the z/OS System Management Facility or the real-time zERT Summary SMF NMI service, or both, depending on the SMF record destination in effect.

In addition, if recording of zERT summary records to the z/OS System Management Facility is turned off dynamically, a final complete set of subtype 12 records is reported to the z/OS System Management Facility to report close out data. No records are reported to the real-time zERT Summary SMF NMI service for this condition.

As event records, zERT summary records are written for two events:
  • The zERT aggregation function is enabled.
  • The zERT aggregation function is disabled dynamically.

The format of the zERT summary record is the same for both interval and event usage, although the zERT summary event records include just the TCP/IP Identification section and the zERT common section.

See Table 1 for the contents of the TCP/IP stack identification section.
  • For all zERT summary records, the TCP/IP stack identification section indicates STACK as the subcomponent.
  • zERT summary event records indicate X'08' (event record) for the record reason.
  • zERT summary interval records indicate one of three possible interval record reason settings, depending on whether the reporting is because of interval expiration, statistics collection termination, or collection shutdown.
Note: The interval data for a single security session is always contained within a single SMF record. Because of that, each SMF record is marked as “last record in set”.

Table 2 shows the zERT summary common section. Every zERT summary record has one of these sections.

Unless noted in the field description, all TCP and Enterprise Extender (EE) connection statistics reported in the common section represent activity from the time the zERT aggregation function began tracking this security session until the time that the zERT aggregation function stops tracking it. The zERT aggregation function stops tracking a security session when one complete SMF/INTVAL recording interval passes without any connections being protected by the security session. The TCP and Enterprise Extender (EE) connection statistics counts are approximate.

The zERT summary Distinguished Names (DN) section contains one or more variable length X.500 DNs from relevant X.509 certificates. Subject and issuer DNs from the certificates are included in the zERT DNs section.

If any DNs exist, there is one zERT summary DN section that contains all the DNs. For each DN included in the section, there is a 2-byte length field, a 2-byte DN type field, and a variable length DN. The following structure is used to describe the fields present for each DN.

Table 6 illustrates the format of the data structure for each DN in a zERT summary record DNs section.
