Using the Data Security Monitor

The data security monitor (ICHDSM00, usually called DSMON) is a program that allows authorized users to obtain a set of reports that provide information about the current status of your installation's data security environment. The reports that DSMON produces are:
  • System report
  • RACF® exits report
  • Selected user attribute report
  • Selected user attribute summary report
  • Class descriptor table report
  • Global access table report
  • Group tree report

These reports will help you to (1) check the initial steps you took to establish system security, and (2) make additional security checks periodically.

For more information on the DSMON reports, see Using DSMON or z/VM: RACF Security Server Auditor's Guide.
