As a leader in z/VM performance management, ZVPS installations have requested support of the VSEn metrics to be added to the modern and flexible graphic interface already provided. Hence, VSEMON has been added to the Velocity suite of products.

Features and Benefits:

• VSEMON uses provided SNMP functionality and an SNMP MIB that provides system level data.
• VSEMON uses a Velocity Software provided SNMP extension that provides details for each partition.
• VSEMON uses a Velocity Software provided SNMP extension that produces job information used for chargeback and capacity planning.
• VSEMON provides CPU and I/O information for each job and job step.
• VSEMON monitors and displays TCPIP information:
  • VSEMON in conjunction with CSI International provides a network stack and application MIB, fully supporting data from TCPIP for VSEn. See CSI Support
  • VSEMON in conjunction with Barnard Software now includes a network SNMP MIB that maps directly into existing ZVPS functions. See BSI Support
• VSEMON supports CICS! CICS data is collected via DMF (Data Management Facility) and then moved to z/VM to be processed inexpensively.
