Indeed. For some type of events recorded in SMF, I wrote automation rules to cancel a STC or notify me or do something else. Simply for the reason of speed of filling up my SYS1.MANx and my daily datasets. Your LPAR may grind to a halt (no new A/S) if all page datasets fill up due to SMF A/S own buffers being full. Somewhat big fun... >You question is very wide-ranging with many solutions. Some you have to code, >some vendor products can provide. Indeed. that original question is too wide-ranging. Depending on type of events, I would look in other places to monitor that specific events. For example, I would use automation software to sniff around in SYSLOG and Consoles. Failing that, if RACF related, I can use zSecure to sniff around in SYS1.MANx. For other things, I just issue 'I SMF'. >If you can explain what you are trying to do, then the answers can be more >directed to your needs.
