Monitoring of resources

CICSPlex® SM has monitor functions that can periodically monitor the performance of CICS® resources.

The data collected by this monitoring activity is either the type of data that is collected by the CICS command EXEC CICS COLLECT STATISTICS, or is derived from such data, that is, CICSPlex SM calculates rates, totals, averages, and percentages from the raw statistics data. For local MASs only, CICSPlex SM can also obtain some detailed monitoring data via the CICS monitoring facility (CMF).
