CA NSM Options for OpenVMS

CA NSM options for OpenVMS are built on CA NSM Agent Common Services, and require a CA NSM Manager on either UNIX or Windows. The options available include the following items:

CA NSM System Monitoring Option for OpenVMS

CA NSM includes an advanced agent architecture that provides lightweight intelligent agents to monitor critical system parameters, resources and applications. The following agents are available:

• CA NSM System Agent for OpenVMS - The CA NSM System Agent for OpenVMS provides unparalleled system monitoring capability for both system and cluster-wide resources. The agent monitors resources like CPU, memory, process availability, job and print queues, system parameters and disks. When the agent is deployed on multiple systems within the cluster, the agents are configured in a high-availability mode. This means only one agent monitors cluster-wide resources. Should the system go down, another agent within the cluster takes responsibility for monitoring cluster-wide resources.
• CA NSM Log Agent for OpenVMS - The caiLogA2 agent is specifically designed to monitor the contents of ASCII log files for simple and complex patterns, and to monitor for the existence and non-existence of a file.

CA Universal Job Management Agent for OpenVMS

The CA Universal Job Management Agent (CA UJMA) lets you manage scheduled tasks on OpenVMS as part of a heterogeneous scheduling solution. CA UJMA supports CA NSM Job Management Option and CA AutoSys Workload Automation running on Windows and UNIX. CA UJMA also supports the CA Workload Automation solutions on z/OS. For more information on the Managers that CA UJMA supports, see the CA NSM Universal Job Management Agent Getting Started guide.
