Sounds interesting, Jim. So you just need to emit some SNMP for SolarWinds (Orion, specifically), correct?
You could take the "roll your own" approach. There's a fairly good introduction to SNMP here, to get acquainted: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27007146 There's also some pretty good information if you search the IBM-MAIN archives for SNMP. That said, it'd probably be easier to let your current monitoring tools do the lifting, if possible, since presumably those work. What sort of monitoring tools do you have on z/OS, if any? Tivoli NetView, for example? Also, let's brainstorm a bit on what statistics/metrics would be both "cool" and useful. There are lots of possibilities. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples Resident Enterprise Architect (Based in Singapore) E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
