Re: IBM i Monitoring utility

Hi Geo

There are quite a few tools around
(Raz-lee's System Control to name one
https://razlee.com/isecurity-system-control/ )

I came up with a home-made simple utility making use of STRWCH built-in
function.
This utility monitors some 30 MSGs I deem important and sends SMS/email
whenever they occur.

try WRKWCH and see that IBM are using it also.

Drop me an email if you want to try your hand at it.

subject: IBM i Monitoring utility

Hi all

we are looking for utility programs to monitor and then notify problems /
errors that can occur in the system in order to avoid machine downtime and
/
or stop application procedures;

For example, I would like to monitor error batch job , CPU use over a
certain percentage, use disk space over a percentage and/or progressive
increase in disk occupancy, hardware errors, hardware reports such as cache
battery to be replaced etc. etc.

Can anyone give me any ideas on how to proceed?

Thank you in advance
