With MAS resource monitoring (MRM), you can analyze the current status of:
You can use CICSPlex® SM to sample and evaluate specific resource occurrences against criteria that you define. You can also control the action taken when the criteria is met.
When analyzing a resource occurrence, CICSPlex SM resource monitoring does not have to be active. CICSPlex SM internally generates any needed monitor definitions based on the sample interval specified in the associated evaluation definitions.
You can also use MAS resource monitoring to identify one or more programs in use within your enterprise that are to be called on a regular basis to evaluate specific conditions.
These programs must be written to respond to a CICSPlex SM status reporting call, where the programs return a value indicating their current status. For more information, see Appendix A. Customizing programs that monitor status.
To use MAS resource monitoring, you need to establish analysis definitions, analysis groups, and analysis specifications.
Figure 2 illustrates the type of definitions you need in order to be notified if a specific condition should occur.
In this illustration, all transactions starting with AB are to be evaluated. If the average response time of these transactions should be greater than 90 seconds, a CICSPlex SM event is to be generated and a record is added to the EVENT view.
