Centerfield Technology's Insure/Monitor Automatically Tracks IBM Eserver Iseries Performance Problems8 March 2006
With the latest release of insure/Monitor, Centerfield Technology has added archival reporting to the iSeries performance monitoring and diagnostic tool. The new capabilities enable iSeries operations staff to archive historical statistics seen in over 80 columns viewed via insure/Monitor.
Originally developed as a tool to simply put «WRKACTJOB on Viagra®» insure/Monitoris widely used by high capacity iSeries shops for real-time performance monitoring, often in league with other Centerfield tools which help fix the problems identified by IBM ServerProver® insure/Monitor.
Help Desk Diagnostics: A system administrator may want to easily diagnose problems reported by end-users. To do that an administrator needs information on what the end-user is doing and potentially other information collected about a sequence of operations or error messages.
Application Development: In-house programmers developing new client/server applications may want to track usage of the system as they begin to test the application by tracing the flow of statements to the iSeries and get an early indication of the performance characteristics of the application.
Usage Monitoring: For an iSeries security officer interested in an audit trail of user activity with built-in reports that provide an easy method to determine who connects to the system and when. The interfaces tab allows only «unofficial» software to be audited. This ensures that any attempt to get into the system with unsupported software can be identified.
Capacity Planning And Charge-Back: A new Job Accounting feature allows you to define special accounting codes for network applications and users. This will help you determine the cost of specific applications and groups of users from a client/server perspective.
A New Log Connection setting allows the usage information for a network application to be tracked in a similar manner to Job Accounting, but with a «network access» flavor. You can track the increased usage for a particular user or application over time and project the future impact if that application is deployed to more users.
Resource And Security Definition: You may want to use insure/MONITOR to collect information about current activity before defining policies. This allows you to better understand your user environment in order to control it most effectively.
