IBM Z Resource Discovery Data Service
IBM Z® Resource Discovery Data Service is a containerized component that creates rapid, graphical analysis to discover the relationships among Z systems resources. It is used for understanding resources that run on Z and provides a standard graph API for resource dependencies. The API can be consumed by various product services that provide visualization of dependencies and relationships, flows between resources, and impacts of changes.
IBM Z Resource Discovery Data Service can be easily embedded in other IBM® products to provide a unified discovery and analysis solution, which brings together a full corpus of understanding around applications and related artifacts in combination with subsystems and infrastructure. The consumers that make use of the graph API of IBM Z Resource Discovery Data Service include IBM Wazi Analyze in the IBM Application Discovery and Delivery Intelligence for IBM Z, IBM Cloud Pak® for Watson AIOps, and IBM Z Anomaly Analytics, IBM Z Monitoring Suite, IBM Z Service Management Suite, IBM Z Service Automation Suite, and IBM zSystems Integration for Observability.
