Chris Blaicher Technical Architect Syncsort, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Arye Shemer Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2020 1:12 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: z/OS monitoring [ External - This message originated Externally. Use proper judgment and caution with attachments, links, or responses. ] A developer person request from me information how to get z/OS Console log records for developing application for monitoring the z/OS. ZOWE was my first thought because it is modern and and supply interface (API) which does not requires from the developer deep understanding of the z/OS environment. The problem with this solution is that only recent level of operating system are supported. Another option is the obvious one, using Assembler program which will be used as agent to intercept the Console records and send them to the external server. Please provide your insights on the above and suggestion for more options.
