monwriter.fcbea9 Writing monitor data failed with rc=<return code>

Explanation

The monitor stream application device driver used the z/VM diagnose call DIAG X'DC' to start writing monitor data. z/VM returned an error and the monitor data cannot be written. If the return code is 5, your z/VM guest virtual machine is not authorized to write monitor data.

User response

If the return code is 5, ensure that your z/VM guest virtual machine's entry in the z/VM directory includes the OPTION APPLMON statement. For other return codes see the section about DIAGNOSE Code X'DC' in "z/VM CP Programming Services".
