Tags: Proceedings , SHARE Providence 2017 , 2017

As the Linux on z Systems environment continues to grow, the need for software and solutions to manage this environment also grows. This session focuses on operational monitoring and automated operations across multiple z/VM LPARs, with or without SSI. It includes live demos of one or more of the following: (1) taking actions on other LPARs based on events on one LPAR, (2) automatically take action based on messages on z/VM service machines, on Linux guest consoles, and in Linux syslog data (3) view and interact with live consoles, for both monitoring and debugging purposes (4) monitor and manage spool space (5) send alerts to a central alerting system, such as IBM Netcool/OMNIbus or other systems that accept SNMP traps (6) send e-mails based on console messages, spool usage, etc. (7) automatically archive logging data when a disk approaches full.-Tracy Dean-IBM Corporation
