Monitoring Linux on IBM Z using Microsoft SCOM

Understand and manage your zLinux environments like an ecosystem that is constantly changing in terms of physical design, transactions, and memory.

zLinux monitoring using the NiCE zLinux Management Pack for Microsoft SCOM enables you to maintain the balance at any given time to ensure the best possible performance.

zLinux Monitoring Features

zLinux servers typically run business-critical workloads, so their response time and availability are business-critical. The Management Pack collects detailed data to monitor your system without affecting or impacting its overall performance.

Discovery of all Linux computers on IBM zSystem

As an entry point for all monitoring, the NiCE zLinux Management Pack automatically discovers all Linux computers on your IBM System. This helps you easily map out your Linux computers, including their components.

Logical Disk Health Monitoring

Prevent the risk of running into unmounted states of Logical Disks by monitoring the availability and performance of Logical Disk (File System) instances.

Physical Disk Health Monitoring

Prevent the risk of running into unmounted states of Physical Disks by monitoring the availability and performance of Physical Disk instances.

Network Adapter Health Monitoring

If the network adapter is down, the computer won´t be able to connect to other systems. The zLinux Management Pack detects Network Adapters issues, enabling you to eliminate such connectivity-related blind spots before they further affect the system.

zLinux OS Health Monitoring

If the OS becomes unhealthy, the system will react slowly or freeze completely.

Detecting upcoming OS issues is a great timesaver. Again, the NiCE zLinux Management Pack helps you keep track of vital signals, enabling fast preventive actions.

zLinux Processor Health Monitoring

An unhealthy processor running at 100% due to low memory and request overload will result in super-slow transactions or causes the system to get stuck. The zLinux Management Pack will alarm you before critical thresholds are reached, so you have enough time and peace of mind to address them effortlessly.

zLinux Memory Health Monitoring

If the memory gets used beyond its capacity due to insufficient memory space for processing a request, it starts paging. As this is a time-consuming method to process requests, it should be avoided in running a 24×7, high-performant ecosystem. The NiCE zLinux Management Pack tracks memory usage and reports upfront on upcoming memory issues.
