Anyone using this to monitor Linux under VM on a large scale basis?
Seems like a pretty heavy agent (java based) memory wise.
It is a 892 pound leviathan (I won't recap the long discussion I had
with the Director development team about *why* this was bad). If you
have heavy investment in
I will be out of the office starting 03.03.2006 and will not return until
13.03.2006.
I'm at SHARE conference Seattle. Please contact Holger Smolinski in case of
questions regarding PMR and CritSit.
I also will read my mail during the SHARE conference.
Additionally, I've integrated monitoring VM and VSE into Hobbit (disk
space, running processes [virtual machines or jobs], CPU, Paging, etc).
There is a client for z/OS and OS/390, but since I don't have access
to z/OS (nor am I well versed in z/OS) I don't have any examples.

SUSE. This procedure is a boot program which is assembled, installed on
DASD and followed by the 3 IPL files
Note that the lsdasd command only exists in SLES 9 as well; You'd have to grep
/proc/dasd/devices in SLES 8 to find the trigger device, although that wouldn't
be difficult to do. The vmcp command also exists only in SLES 9.

I have a similar program, it may be the same one. Below are the comments from
the program. Below the comments is the JCL that I used to install the IPL
program on Disk.

Please abandon the Marist install. It's ancient, and is not
representative of modern Linux on the mainframe.
Get a trial kit from SuSE or RH, or download Debian/390.

One of the most critical issues with Linux on z is the
overhead of the infrastructure. If you plan on running a hundred
linux servers, multiple the cost of the agents required by the
infrastructure times 100 and then ask if this is a workable
solution.

On a fairly 'idle' Linux for S/390 machine (running only an FTP server
and the Hobbit client), ESAMON measures the CPU utilization at about .1%
- .2% of a z890 IFL. And that is only when the agent is active, the
rest of the time the machine reports much less (or no) utilization. The

That did the trick .

Well, depending on what you are monitoring and what you want to
accomplish: they can use SNMP to retrieve values or more extensive
application specific testing, so at minimum, the impact is
Pretty much ditto that for Hobbit. It provides it's own client, but can
use SNMP. The author monitors over 2000 machines with it (not on z,
though), so he is motivated to make sure that it is light weight (server
and client).
I have a customer hitting over 140 machines with it. The server and
Sorry about that. I'll move my questions to the correct group.
