There is also "TRACK" recently updated by Jim Vincent
I like the history of commands entered, myself.
this should be on the IBM VM down load page.

It depends on what you mean by "activities". The external security
manager (e.g. RACF) can audit a variety of things, including the use of CP
commands and DIAGNOSE instructions.
There are also accounting and resource monitor records. Accounting
records are collected by the ACCOUNT virtual machine and processed by
something like IBM Tivoli Usage and Accounting Manager (ITUAM) on z/OS or
CA's VM:Account. Monitor records are processed by performance management
software such as z/VM Performance Toolkit, IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON for z/VM
and Linux, or Velocity Software's ESAMON.
Unfortuntely the word "activities" is far too vague for us to know what to
suggest. If you want to know *why* a virtual machine is doing something,
then you have to have software running IN the virtual machine to explain
what's going on.
