Monitoring an IBM z/OS server
Posted: Thu Jul 05, 2018 3:17 am
Hello everyone and sorry for my bad English,
I'm actually in an internship in a company that require me to install a monitoring solution for a IBM z/OS server for one of their client using Nagios. Thing is, I already used Nagios once but only to monitor Windows and Unix client and z/OS is completely unknown to me.
The point would be not to only monitor all the VM inside the z/OS server but the z/OS itself and the MVS event it generate. The question is, is it possible to monitor this type of event with Nagios? And if so, is there already a plugin doing it? I don't know if it's possible to install nsclient++ in z/OS or if you have to do something else..
I searched the solution online but it does not seems to be a really frequent problem and didn't find anything.
Could someone help me and tell me if what they demand is possible or if I'm going straight into a wall?
Thank you in advance for your help.
