IBM zAware delivers smarter message monitoring
capabilities
The complexity and rate of change of today’s IT infrastructures stress the limits
of IT to resolve problems quickly and accurately–while preserving SLAs
IT is challenged to diagnose system anomalies and restore service quickly
– Systems often experience problems which are difficult or unusual to detect
– Existing tools do little to quickly identify messages preceding system problems
– Some incidents begin with symptoms that remain undetected for long periods of
time
– Manual log analysis is skills-intensive, and prone to errors
IBM zAware with Expert System Diagnostics Gets it Right, Fast
– IBM zAware helps improve problem determination in near real time – helps
rapidly and accurately identify problems and speed time to recovery
– Analyzes massive amounts of data to identify problematic messages, providing
information to enable faster corrective action
– Analytics on log data provides a near real time view of current system state
– Cutting edge pattern recognition examines system behavior to help you pinpoint
deviations
– Machine learning, modeling and historical data work to describe your unique
environment
51
53. Phoenix IMS Users Group
Sophisticated Detection and Diagnostic Capabilities
IBM zAware - Cutting edge pattern recognition analytics looks at the health of a z/OS
system
– Perform machine learning, pattern recognition, and statistical analysis on streaming
messages to look for unexpected patterns to give faster, more pinpointed recognition of
problems
IBM zAware - A ‘watch dog’ to detect unusual behavior of z/OS images in near real time –
enabling you act on system issues sooner - pushes z/OS high availability even beyond
what it is today.
– Diagnose problems/ critical events/ outages while they are occurring in real time
– Helps heighten awareness of small problems so they can be corrected quickly
– Determine the cause of problems so the operation team can establish procedures to
prevent a reoccurrence
IBM zAware - can consume massive amounts of OPERLOG messages (anything with a
well-formed message) and turn it into useful information
– Works “out of the box” with relatively little customization (as compared to existing tools)
– A single browser based view of the health of a Parallel Sysplex® via a relative weighting
and color coding
– Out of band – minimal effect on z/OS product workloads
– Complementary to existing tools
