Stream: Service Management
Time: 15:15 - 16:00
In recent years there has been an increased focus on real-time observability of applications and the underlying infrastructure to deliver better insights around performance and increase business resiliency. As well as SMF record processing, there is now a demand for OpenTelemetry signal support from the mainframe to ensure complete end-to-end visibility across the enterprise. This can pose a number of challenges for the mainframe operations team from deciding what data needs to be collected and shared, to capacity management of this operational data minimizing any potential impact to production workload performance and system resource consumption. If you are on or beginning your journey with OpenTelemetry on IBM Z, this session will assist you by focusing on experiences integrating the mainframe as part of an enterprise-wide observability strategy, the key stakeholders involved, and the challenges to be addressed. In particular, we will focus on approaches to deliver OpenTelemetry signal data to one or more backend servers while managing the volumes of operational data effectively, helping your adoption of these latest technologies across the mainframe.
