25772: Sweat The Small stuff Before It Becomes The Big Stuff

Project and Program: Core Platform, Performance and Capacity Management

Tags: Proceedings , SHARE Orlando 2024 , 2024

As the scope of z/OS RMF and SMF data continually increases it is challenging to keep up with everything, even for the most experienced Engineer. Whether it is due to time limitations or knowledge, most of us do not have time to know all the metrics let alone review and assess them regularly. As a result, we tend to ignore the “small” things and focus on the crisis of the moment. This is akin to the “Don’t sweat the small stuff” approach; however, that kind of thinking can get your z/OS applications in a lot of trouble. In z/OS you need to pay attention to the small things before they become big things. This session will explain what “small” metrics should not be ignored and show you how to analyze the metrics that z/OS provides at an application level so that the oft ignored smoldering ashes don’t become a raging inferno. -- Presented by Jim Horne; Jerry Street (Sr Performance Consultant)
