MVSSTATE

The MVS data collector monitors MVS-related resources. Exception or threshold alerts can be generated when resource usage exceeds the defined range. The MVSSTATE parmlib member is used to define the states of MVS-related resources for monitoring.

The alerting mechanism can trigger any of the following actions:

• Write a message to the job log
• Write a message to the console
• Execute a predefined IMOD (REXX EXEC)
• Send an SNMP alert trap
• Send an event notification request to CA OPS/MVS
• Execute an event capture member

The MVS data collector (MVSDATA subtask) uses the definitions or rules defined in this member to specify individual or generic wildcard state definitions.
