VitalSigns for GCS

The architecture of VitalSigns for GCS comprises several key components: the Data Collector, Analysis Engine, Reporting Module, and User Interface. The Data Collector gathers network data using SNA protocols, including performance metrics and status information. The Analysis Engine processes this data to identify performance issues, bottlenecks, and anomalies.

The Reporting Module generates detailed reports, including performance summaries, error reports, and trend analyses. The User Interface provides access to real-time monitoring data, historical reports, and configuration options. Communication between components occurs primarily within the z/VM environment.

The Data Collector and Analysis Engine interact to process data. The Reporting Module retrieves data from the Analysis Engine to generate reports. The User Interface communicates with the Analysis Engine and Reporting Module to display data and reports.

The product utilizes z/VM's system resources for data storage and processing. The native API allows for programmatic access to features. API endpoints and method names are available in the product documentation.

The CLI provides commands like `TRACE SESSION` for detailed troubleshooting. User authentication is handled through z/VM user IDs and passwords, and access control is managed via z/VM user profiles.
