We collect the data for our guests in the VM monitor. In Linux we start mon_statd and write various performance numbers into MONDCSS. Through MONWRITE we collect the data, both linux and VM, and use it to create reports. If you are running guests in VM I would advise to collect the data from VM. Either through MONWRITE or an ISV product.
As mentioned sar, part of sysstat, will also provide you with the numbers. Any distro running on the s390 hardware can also run in Hercules.

I have also found the package System status (sysstat) tool. I'd like to know if it is possible to implement monthly data collection for cpu and memory usage with some of the tools above, if so, if someone have a procedure to recommend. The other thing I'd like to know is if exist a distribution of linux I could use in Hercules.
