In this session, we will explore a new tool for monitoring the system. Manzan provides a gateway to making IBM i watch facilities easily consumable by user applications, external resources, and/or open source technologies. Identified use cases include:
- Monitoring system events for Kafka, ELK, SMS, FluentD, Grafana Loki, or AI
- More comprehensive integration with syslog facilities
- Queryable system events
- Consolidated auditing/reporting activity.
- In short, this project aims to make IBM i more integrated with infrastructure monitoring of a heterogeneous IT infrastructure, whether on-prem or cloud.
