The CA MICS Web Analyzer processes data collected by standard
IBM SMF record type 103 and 120, as well as from the IBM HTTP
Server for z/OS log files. Data from these sources can
provide information (all sources do not have to be available)
that helps you manage this critical web hosting IT service.
CA MICS automatically integrates Web Analyzer data with any
other data that CA MICS maintains. This is possible because
CA MICS stores data in a format that is common to all CA MICS
products.
The CA MICS Web Analyzer processes SMF record type 103
Performance and Configuration data, SMF record type 120 IBM
WebSphere Application Server (WAS) data, and IBM
HTTP Server for z/OS log files containing: Server Access,
FRCA (Cache Access), Proxy (Server and Cache), Agent (web
browser) logs, Referer logs, and the Server Error logs.
The CA MICS Web Analyzer is one of the many Data Integration
Analyzers of the CA MICS I/S Management Support System. Like
the other Data Integration Analyzers, it processes raw data
for analyzing and managing specific technologies.
