You can try getting more control of the environment.
We don't install all these 'Unix/Linux' std packages in zLinux, because they
don't fit in, or give inaccurate data.
CPU load for example, we get that from z/VM instead, and our arguments

You know it, I know it. But some people tend to believe only what they
*think* they know. In this case unfortunalty the monitoring team is
regarded as the specialist and I'm 'only' a VM sysprog. I have proven *)
on several occasions that the numbers are off, in some case even way off

If only the monitor could 'know' that the machine was running this
batch load at a
certain time of day and had an absolute share and was running 100% for
an extended
period of time. It could be set up to not sent out alerts based on all
of these
criteria. Wow! That would be a very nice
It's smart enough to know that *z/VM* has allocated it an absolute share?

It does have the ability to set time of day/shift-based parameters. As to the
z/VM part, come to OLF and see. 8-)

David,
i'm confuse now... nagios 3 will be able to comunicate with zvm directely
or you talking about a especific plugin using vmcp ou something like this ?
Sorry if i ask something obvious...

That's a good way to make things clear. Especially to management.
Here is a challenge. We are in the process of enrolling new machines
into production. Part of that is that they want to force us to install a
general monitoring tool (nagios and local scripting). We noticed quite a

Are Nagios and local scripts waking up needlessly? or are they doing
legitimate work even if it is wasteful?

A 'general monitoring tool' is not a performance monitor. In an environment
where
efficient resource utilization is critical to the business, a means to monitor:
- the performance of the virtual machine environment
- the virtual machines running in that environment
- potentially systems
Nagios is in use at the server side. Each client (our servers) has the
nagios client, with scipting instead of the nagios plugins, and sec.
Sec is in use for monitoring the /var/log/messages, it makes the server
go into Q3 and stay there and has quite some CPU load as well. Usefull,

True, it isn't. It's the replacement of an operator. The main issue here
is that it needs to raise tickets and get reporting stats. For instance,
raise a ticket at 100% CPU (and indeed, our ABS limithard machines do
raise tickets when they are running their batch..sigh.) or when a
filesystem is at
If your batch runs regularly or consistently drive some virtual machines to
100% this
may not signal a loop condition (which, I would guess, is why the ticket is
being
raised). Techs may grow conditioned to this and either take longer to respond
or just
outright 'ignore' the tickets
Berry,
to monitor some stats of lpar using nagios, we set up a machine with
high class level, and make some scripts to use vmcp module to query and
filter informations... i have sure that is not the best way, but, some times
we need improvise :-)

It'd be even cooler if your monitor could learn a virtual machines normal or
expected activity pattern by time of day / day of week and the signal things
out of the ordinary. Like the batch activity that was supposed to have been
running but took an unexpected low address protection exception
