Features

Get system and resource level automation, performance monitoring capabilities and discovery capabilities that are required to manage the z/OS system and all key subsystems.

• **Automate system and network operations: **Use the data collected by the monitoring tools to automate system and network operations. This can reduce the amount of manual intervention that is required to manage operating systems, subsystems, application programs, network devices, and many other products.
• **Monitor performance and APIs: **Monitor your z/OS environment performance middleware such as CICS®, IMS and Db2®, JVMs and applications. All API requests are processed within IBM z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition, and details on the system of record are available for viewing.
• **Apply machine learning to performance data for operational insights: **Enable OMEGAMON AI Insights to detect and visualize performance anomalies within z/OS components and applications. It draws its intelligence from sophisticated machine learning algorithms that analyze data collected by OMEGAMON monitoring agents.
• **Stream operational and performance data to open-platforms: **Enable monitoring data streaming to multiple open source platforms such as IBM Instana™, IBM Cloud Pak® for AIOps, Elastic Stack, Splunk, Kafka, Prometheus and others.
• **Manage your z/OS network: **Monitor and manage your z/OS network environment, including OSAs and HiperSockets adapters, IP and SNA devices, connections, DVIPA, Telnet servers and ports, packet traces and sysplexes. This is to help ensure the high availability of your network resources.
• **Operate from a single user interface: **Triage alerts and take corrective actions, including issuing system commands and viewing results without going to a different console.

Benefits

• **Enhance productivity: **Take advantage of comprehensive performance management capabilities to enhance the productivity of IBM Z systems. Manage your entire infrastructure from a single console.
• **Collaborate to resolve problems: **Reduce problem resolution time by improving cross-team collaboration enabling ChatOps tool integrated into Slack, Microsoft® Teams™ or Mattermost®.
• **Get proactive operational insights: **Enable IT teams to proactively identify common operational issues and define essential alert thresholds with OMEGAMON AI Insights.
• **Simplify management: **Bring performance and automation data from disparate sources into a single interface with IBM Service Management Unite. Forward detailed metrics to additional tools.
• **Optimize your network: **Identify slow-performing connections and high latency in network performance in real-time and near-term history with enhanced network monitoring.
• **Reduce costs: **Quickly identify z/OS® software inventory to reduce costs and minimize compliance risk. Consolidate software licenses and gain an integrated experience for monitoring, automation and asset discovery.
