Enhance zHMC to add SYSLOG entries for FCP/FICON error conditions

The zHMC appliance contains valuable information about the health of Mainframe Fiber Channel (FICON) connections. This information could be used for alerting and troubleshooting but its proprietary and can only be assessed interactively from the HMC appliance. We would like IBM to enhance the zHMC to include syslog activity when certain Fiber Channel (FICON) errors occur. This will enable the customer to route these syslog entries to their SRE Observability tool of choice and then build logic around that data which helps with alerting & historical analytics.

 Syslog event Triggers – IFCC, CRC error, Link failure

Data structure of the syslog message

  • HMC hostname
  • Timestamp
  • Error ID/type
  • CPC name
  • PCHID identifier
  • CHPID identifier
  • Control Unit Address
  • Short Description
