RELATED IDEAS

Centralized all logs into a single place

z/VM should provide an out-of-the-box capability to ship all service machines logs to a centralized console, similar to what z/OS provides with the SYSLOG.
This could include OPERATOR console, *MAINT* machines, TCPIP related informations as relevant, SFS servers...

This centralized console should allow for efficient searches and back and forth browsing to quickly find necessary information.

    Hello, this function is available in IBM Operations Manager for z/VM. Please see the statement below from the IBM Product Manager for this application:

    "In short, Operations Manager can capture any user's console (service machines, guests, admin ID's, etc.) via the SECUSER or OBSERVER function in z/VM. The consoles are available for authorized users to view live (individually or in groups) from memory. They are also stored in a single, real-time consolidated daily log on disk for retention and problem determination."

    Thank you,
