Sysplex Distributor decisions monitoring

We consider to implement new settings of sysplex distributor for WAS and DDF workloads. According to manuals, in DISTRIBUTED mode it cooperates with WLM, which assigns weights to each DVIPA network address separately.
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.halz002/sys_distrib.htm
We are looking for the reports which could show how the workload is distributed and how it assigns the weights to each address. We know there is NETSTAT VDPT DETAIL command with that kind of data available, but it is only snapshot and it is difficult to analyze.
We need DVIPA and sysplex distributor statistics related to weights in SMF records available

    Also our company use the TCPIP VDPT DETAIL command to track Sysplex Distributor SERVERWLM acitvity.

    We opened case TS011848996 related to this topic.

    Having the capability to trace some specific VIPA routing to SMF greatly simplify this process.
