How it Works

EView/400i IBM i (iSeries-AS/400) Management forMicro Focus Opera*ons Management i enablesinforma*on from the mainframe environments to bedisplayed on the OMi console. The EView agentcollec*onsourcesspansystem,applica*onandnetworkmessages, performance, and resource u*liza*on datavia system interface APIs. Local OS message filtersextract cri*cal system and network informa*on asspecifiedbytheadministrator. Thisinforma*onisthensent via TCP/IP and only the specified subset ofinforma*onissenttothemanagementconsole. Thesemessages can include informa*on about the opera*ngsystem, system applica*ons, such as; DB2, MessageQueue, MQSeries, Audit Journal, Job Status,Websphere,andmanyotherswhichareper*nenttotheIBMserverenvironments.EView Management for OMi u*lizes the monitoringautoma*oncomponenttocheckcri*calsystemmetricsand provide alerts for condi*ons needing aaen*on orprovidingtheabilitytoperformautomatedac*ons.
