OMEGAMON, delivering an overview of the health of the IBM z/OS operating
system, networks, storage subsystems, Java™ runtimes, IBM Db2® on z/OS, IBM
CICS®, IBM IMS, IBM MQ for z/OS, IBM Integration Bus for z/OS, IBM App
Connect Enterprise on IBM Z and IBM WebSphere® Liberty servers. Detect
bottlenecks in code, server resources or external dependencies. Monitor new
applications and reduce steps to identify root cause of performance issues.
Enable machine learning to proactively identify common operational issues using
OMEGAMON data. Visualize IBM OMEGAMON metrics in IBM Instana and
stream to open-source platforms such as Elastic Stack, Splunk and
Prometheus.
ChatOps is a model that integrates people, tools and processes into a collaboration platform so that teams can efficiently communicate and easily manage the flow of their work. IBM Z ChatOps provides support for IBM Z environments by including a chatbot that gives users access to information from IBM Z systems management tools directly into Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Mattermost. Easily notify the IT operations team about alerts from IBM Z applications. ChatOps also integrates with Service Management Unite for broad access to IBM Z data to enable chat users to drill-down into OMEGAMON web-based dashboards to view performance information. With IBM Z ChatOps, accelerate incident resolution and enable faster onboarding of next-gen IBM Z operators.
Get key capabilities and advanced functions related to networking and automation, enhanced enterprise integration, customer time-to-value and ease-of-use, as well as management functions that work in cooperation with other products. You gain support for heterogeneous networks that include both Systems Network Architecture (SNA) and TCP/IP and support for changing network and system requirements that exist on IBM Z systems.
Automatically discover and identify IBM and third-party software running on the z/OS platform. High speed scanning and in-house application tagging helps maintain a complete inventory of everything on your system without a lot of overhead. You can monitor software usage and related growth to proactively plan for future capacity needs.
Maximize the availability of IBM Z systems hardware and applications on IBM
Parallel Sysplex clusters through flexible, cluster-wide, policy-based self-healing.
Optimize application health and system performance by using System Automation's goal driven and policy-based automation. With System Automation and NetView included in IBM Z Service Management Suite, you have an easy upgrade path to an advanced application disaster recovery capability using IBM Geographically Dispersed Parallel Sysplex.
Status Display Facility (SDF) updates can be streamed to Apache Kafka, enabling integration with additional consumers through this message-based middleware.
IBM Z Common Data Provider provides the infrastructure for accessing IT operational data from z/OS systems and streaming it to the analytics platform in a consumable format. It is a single data provider for sources of both structured and unstructured data.
Apache Kafka is an open-source distributed event streaming platform used for high-performance data pipelines, streaming analytics, data integration and mission- critical applications.
Discovered topology service helps users quickly visualize and correlate anomalous activity across their z/OS subsystems and applications. When IBM Z events and topology are consumed by the IBM Cloud Pak® for AIOps, they can be correlated with events from the rest of the enterprise, helping users more quickly determine the incident impacts and the root cause of operational issues across their hybrid applications. Deliver improved security, support for PostgreSQL connect for Apache Kafka containers.
IBM Tivoli® Management Services on z/OS provides the base infrastructure for security, data transfer and storage, notification mechanisms, user interface presentation and communication services for all IBM OMEGAMON products. Save time and simplify maintenance by deploying the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server (TEPS) container component on IBM Z.
Simplify the monitoring and management of your z/OS environment with problem insights and open platform integration.
Leverage the visibility, control, and automation of a large range of system elements spanning both the hardware and software resources of enterprises in a sysplex.
Use a high availability and automation software solution for Z systems.
