What interface did Realtime Monitor use?

Realtime Monitor provided a command-line interface (CLI) for interacting with the system. Common commands included those for displaying system resource utilization, monitoring virtual machine activity, and viewing system logs. It is no longer supported.

What was the command syntax like?

The exact syntax for commands varied, but typically involved commands followed by parameters specifying the data to be displayed or the action to be performed. For example, commands would display CPU utilization or memory usage. It is no longer supported.

What configuration files or interfaces were used?

Configuration was managed through system files and interfaces specific to the z/VM environment. These files contained settings related to monitoring intervals, data logging, and user access. It is no longer supported.

What was the business value of Realtime Monitor?

Realtime Monitor helped system administrators identify performance bottlenecks and troubleshoot issues within the z/VM environment. This enabled more efficient resource allocation and improved system stability. It is no longer supported.

How did Realtime Monitor improve system reliability?

By providing real-time insights into system behavior, Realtime Monitor allowed administrators to proactively address potential problems before they impacted users. This reduced downtime and improved overall system reliability. It is no longer supported.

What security features did Realtime Monitor offer?

Realtime Monitor did not have built-in security features like modern monitoring tools. Security relied on the underlying z/VM system's authentication and access control mechanisms. It is no longer supported.

How was user management handled?

User management was handled through the z/VM system's user authentication and authorization processes. Realtime Monitor itself did not provide user management capabilities. It is no longer supported.

What monitoring and logging capabilities did Realtime Monitor have?

Realtime Monitor provided logging capabilities to record system events and performance data. These logs were essential for troubleshooting and performance analysis. It is no longer supported.

What administrative interfaces were available?

Administrators used the CLI to start, stop, and configure the monitoring process. Configuration parameters included the frequency of data collection and the types of data to be monitored. It is no longer supported.

Product Overview

Realtime Monitor's architecture comprised several key components. The core component was the monitoring engine, responsible for collecting and processing system data. This engine interacted with the z/VM hypervisor to gather metrics on CPU usage, memory allocation, and I/O activity.

Data was displayed through a command-line interface (CLI). Configuration settings, such as monitoring intervals and data logging options, were stored in z/VM system files. There were no external APIs.

The Performance Toolkit for VM is the recommended replacement, offering similar functionality with enhanced features and support.
