I do not think a SLIP trap will work. But a GTF Trace probably can. I would look at GTF TRACE or VSM Traces.
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.ieav100/gfs.htm GFS trace is a diagnostic tool that collects information about the use of the GETMAIN, FREEMAIN, or STORAGE macro. You can use GFS trace to analyze the allocation of virtual storage and identify users of large amounts of virtual storage. You must use the generalized trace facility (GTF) to get the GFS trace data output.
