NiCE zLinux Management Pack | zLinux Monitoring using Microsoft SCOM
Monitoring Linux on IBM Z using Microsoft System Center Operations Manager
IBM zSystems run on some of the fastest processors. IBM zSystems are used for maximum speed and volume of data transactions, mainly in the banking, health care, airline, and retail sector. These markets need to rely on seven nines (99.99999%) of availability and performance of their systems, as they are the backbone of the entire business. With ever-tighter budgets, the need to comply with multiple regulations, and more complex systems, it becomes essential to equip the core IT foundation with additional health measures. In plain words, monitoring a 24×7 system is a must.
The NiCE zLinux Management Pack enables health and performance monitoring for the Linux OS running on IBM zSystems. This helps detect and solve issues related to logical and physical disk health, network adapter and OS health, as well as processor and memory health. Though marginal at first sight, these core health lines will significantly affect running IBM zSystems, as they influence the overall performance from the basic levels.
A simple logical or physical disk that starts to show unexpected behavior, or one processor out of many with unusual load, may not be noticed easily. Yet, recovery from such issues is no longer possible without interrupting the business. And most often, this happens at an inconvenient time.
The NiCE zLinux Management Pack helps you detect and address these issues before they affect the system. No more firefighting at 3:00am. Be the hero of your systems. Make your work seen and report on uptime and fire-prevention operations with a click.
The NiCE zLinux Management Pack provides a 360-degree monitoring solution for near real-time diagnostic and resolution of detected issues.

Proactive
Proactively monitor zLinux servers. The NiCE zLinux Management Pack provides proactive and reactive monitoring for the zLinux server. It monitors Linux server components such as processes, resources, and server agents, allowing you to take on a proactive role in the management of your servers, and take corrective action upfront.
Comprehensive
The NiCE zLinux Management Pack enables comprehensive monitoring, not limited to availability. The NiCE zLinux Management Pack enables reports, diagnostics tasks, views, and tasks based on extensive performance data collections. All monitors for alerting use a best-practice set of default thresholds so that you will have a safe starting point. You may alter these thresholds according to your needs. And, as Linux servers are typically part of a larger application environment, these can also easily be integrated into service-oriented monitoring scenarios.
Single pane of glass
Have a single pane of glass using SCOM. Microsoft System Center is a product suite developed to help corporate IT administrators manage network, server, and client systems. System Center Operations Manager (OpsMgr or SCOM) helps manage cross-platform data centers, including Windows, Linux, and UNIX operating systems. By default, only Linux distributions on the x86 platform are monitored. The NiCE zLinux Management Pack expands this by including Linux on zSystems, so you can rely on a single overall datacenter management system.
