Monitoring complex z/OS environments can be challenging, with hundreds of metrics across Db2, z/OS, IMS, CICS, and more. Traditional performance monitors collect these metrics well, but legacy ISPF and GUI interfaces can be cumbersome, requiring specialized skills and offering limited flexibility for custom views. Businesses seek to leverage analytics, AI, and machine learning to automate processes and act on vast operational data. Unlocking this data in standard, self-describing formats is key to enabling its use in modern analytics applications.

IBM's OMEGAMON Data Provider (ODP) converts z/OS performance data into JSON format, easily consumable by most analytic tools. This separates performance data from legacy interfaces, giving you full control over how it's formatted, displayed, and analyzed.

This presentation will overview ODP and demonstrate how to stream performance data from OMEGAMON, Db2 Query Monitor, and Db2 Automation Tool Expert to modern interfaces like Grafana, Elastic, Splunk, IBM Instana, and more.
