Automated operational monitoring and management of z/VM virtual machines and Linux guests
IBM Operations Manager for z/VM automates routine tasks, monitors sytem activity, and responds to alerts to reduce manual effort. Operators can view service machine consoles, debug issues, and take consistent corrective action with improved visability and control.
Automates repetitive system tasks to ensure they’re performed consistently and at the right time, reducing the risk of human error and improving overall system reliability.
Automatically identifies and responds to system events, freeing up staff from interpreting complex messages and issuing corrective commands, so they can focus on higher-value tasks.
Delivers real-time alerts via external notification methods—like emails, logs, or operator consoles—so administrators are informed of critical system events that require attention.
Integrates with enterprise tools by forwarding key system messages to external analytics platforms and syslog servers, enabling cross-platform monitoring and deeper operational insights.
Operations Manager for z/VM consists of four separate components. These components work together to do all of the message and action processing.
