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. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
