Re: System availability statistics

Hi,

This is not as trivial a task as it may seem.  Although the system is very
capable of reporting when it is up, it is not capable of reporting when it
is down (DOH!).

I would take the approach of analyzing QHST, which has a good history of
both up and down.  If you look further, it also has the detail of normal
and abnormal ending of OS/400.

I have been asked by management to provide them with statistics of times
when the AS400 is and is not available for use. This will require me to
monitor several jobs and track when they are and are not running and then
somehow log them into a database and perform reporting on them to indicate
down times and such. Does anyone know of such a tool already designed to
perform such a task or what have others used? Any input is appreciated,
especially if I do not have to reinvent the wheel.
Dave
