We had the same situation a week ago with 1 difference. I have a spare page dataset on my system and when this happened, I was able to dynamically activate the dataset and had enough time to get into SDSF DA screen and discover that I had a SAS (actually my monthly MXG rollup) job eating up all my AUX storage. I was able to keep an eye on the system by giving it the extra pagespace and watch the SAS job go to completion. I hasten to add that the SAS/MXG job was working as it was supposed to, but the huge run pointed out a different problem with SMF that I am fixing.
I know this doesn't directly answer your monitoring question, but if you have the disk space, you might want to put an extra page dataset in your back pocket just in case...

The system locked up and we had to IPL. We are z/OS V1R4 and we have RMF and CA-SYSVIEW. What can we do to prevent this from happening again. Are there reports we can run or an alert we can set-up if an address space goes wild and starts eating up storage. Any help would be appreciated. If you have an example of a report we could execute to help determine which task are using an excessive amount of storage would be helpful.
