Monitor and manage z/OS-based IBM MQ and IBM Integration Bus workloads efficiently
Overview
IBM OMEGAMON® for Messaging on z/OS® is a monitoring agent that focuses on crital performance data and provides real-time status information about the availability and performance of the IBM MQ and IBM Integration Bus. It is a part of the OMEGAMON family of software products. It is a product package consisting of several components. The following agent components can be configured and run on the mainframe:
- The IBM MQ Monitoring Agent helps to verify, analyze and tune MQ for reliability and performance by detecting problems before they impact availability and service levels. It reduces the amount of time to troubleshoot problems with many useful workspaces in which you can view current data and track trends in recent and historical data.
- The IBM Integration Bus Monitoring Agent helps to verify, analyze and tune message brokers for reliability and performance by detecting broker and message flow problems before they impact availability and service levels. It reduces the amount of time involved in the deployment of broker applications by helping you debug message flows and providing statistics you can use to tune your environment.
Reduce administrative costs with ready-to-use capabilities such as auto-discovery and monitoring of complex IBM messaging environments.
Collect and analyze data for all your remote and local queue managers from a single vantage point.
Browse message content, delete or forward messages from one queue to another.
Quickly gain insight into current performance through product-provided situations that track key WebSphere MQ metrics.
