Re: Dynamic Problem/Performance Reporting

IBM Director and Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Applications.
(Unfortunately they don't run on an i but they work very well)

Another option is Nagios however the application monitoring is lacking
there. (could be compiled to run on i, but better on Linux)

You of course already have Management Central which can do most of the
things in your list of requirements (job queue depth I think might be an
issue but it would not be hard to create an exit for it)

As an inexpensive solution I would start off with IBM Director, Active
Energy Manger, (let it go into pure monitor mode after the trial runs
out) and some Management Central monitors.

If you have the advanced PDUs from IBM you have sensors for room
temp/humidity already. If not you might see if the air conditioners
have an ethernet jack for snmp connections. There are a plethora of
solutions on the open market for room monitoring.

Anyone have any experience with a product that would dynamically report

on

status of problems and performance? I'm thinking that the product has to

be

open ended to enable different 'feeds', such as i information (job queue
depth, disk utilization, etc.) as well as things like number of calls on
hold, status of external processes, computer room temp - things like

that.

Any comments welcome. Vendors can reply directly.

Thanks...
