Stuff like this is migrating to Splunk and similar presentation language environments. The problem lies in getting the data to Splunk in a form it can work with. MVS data can be sent over via Omegamon 6.1 interfaces Rocket built for this purpose. But it is an evolving area.

Subject Homegrown ZOS Dashboards?

Hello all you smart seasoned ZOS vets out there.

We all know that ZOS contains a vast landscape of key mission critical applications 
and components running 7x24x365.  I'm quite curious about this sujbect having spent 
a considerable time of my career in the performance / capacity arena.  But what I 
am most curious about is whether anyone out there has either developed or knows of 
a very robust homegrown ZOS mgmt / executive health dashboard out there?  Possibly 
you did something with SAS/MXG or other toolsets (REXX, open source, etc.)?  I'm 
envisioning something that might have red, yellow, green sections that inspects 
data for ZOS ranging from SLA's, syslog, SMF data, performance data (response 
times, batch cycle completions, etc.), storage usage data, security data and have 
it all rollup into single view that is adaptable to a particular environment (not 
tied to anyone product - so for instance in security whatever solutions should be 
ubiquitous whether running RACF, Top Secret, or ACF2).  I know there are paid for 
tools as well and if you don't have anything homegrown maybe you have a favorite 
one of those that doesn't cost arm & leg? - possibly something open source that 
is easily adaptable.

There is no right or wrong answer here but wanted to just throw this out there 
to gather everyone's collective experiences, thoughts, and best ideas.

May the games (I mean ideations) begin.

Thanks,

Steve Estle
