IBM OMEGAMON Dashboard Edition

The architecture of IBM OMEGAMON Dashboard Edition is based on a client-server model, with the OMEGAVIEW server acting as the central component. The main components include the OMEGAVIEW server, the dashboard client, and data collectors. The OMEGAVIEW server is responsible for managing data sources, processing data, and providing the user interface.

The dashboard client is a web-based application that allows users to create and view dashboards. Data collectors gather performance metrics from various sources, including Tivoli Monitoring agents. Communication between these components occurs over TCP/IP.

The OMEGAVIEW server uses a relational database to store configuration data, user information, and historical performance data. The dashboard client communicates with the OMEGAVIEW server using HTTP/HTTPS. The data collectors communicate with the OMEGAVIEW server using proprietary protocols.

The product supports RBAC for access control, allowing administrators to define user roles and permissions. The product provides extensive logging and auditing capabilities. Compared to other monitoring solutions, OMEGAMON Dashboard Edition offers a more integrated view of z/OS performance, with a focus on ease of use and customization.

The product's design emphasizes scalability and performance, allowing it to handle large volumes of data and support a large number of users. The product's modular design allows for easy integration with other IBM products and third-party tools.
